Ok, I see now calling LUA each frame isn't a good idea. But how can I do
the "shell-thing" I asked in my first posting?

And which is the best way to transfer my C++ object data structure to a
LUA script, change it and then return it? Should I package all values in
a table and later read it back from the table to the object? Or is there
a more "generic" way?
