RE: Game Integration

[Chris Brodie <Chris.Brodie@...>]

I still cannot see how I can get the C code working. How do I stop my lua_dofile from blocking my applications main loop from executing?

For example I run a script that runs my mission. How can the game render while the mission is running? The script never returns. If someone can suggest a way that doesn't block my games code from executing I'll also need some kind of C function to resume that script periodically.

I thank everyone for their help but nobody seems to suggest what I should be doing ni C to make this all work.

Ignacio, are you suggesting that my game script need to call in to my C code to 'resume'. If that is so doesn't it mean that the misson script will need to know how to drive the game, rather than just be concerned about the mission at hand?
