hi ppl,

i am new to this list and LUA. i am developing a 3D FPS game engine. 
and i want to use LUA as the scripting language.
i have just learnt the basics and i am hoping that u guyz will help 
me out in developing a decent scripting system.

the current problem is that i have a C++ variable that i want to 
access in a LUA script and maybe modify it in the script ........ i 
wanted to know that whteher there is any other way than lua_setglobal
()for doing this.

thanx in advance,
sohyl.
