Lua Script API: HScript Functions

Haxe Interpreter Functions

runHaxeCode(code:String, ?vars:Array<Any> = null, ?func:String = null, ?args:Array<Dynamic> = null):Void

Runs a Haxe code and interpretes the code within a Lua script.

• code - The given code to be interpreted.
• vars - An optional parameter, the given variables to import within code; must be a table dictionary.
• func - An optional parameter, the said given function within the code to call itself.
• args - An optional parameter, the certain amount of arguments to passed within the function, if said arguments exists.

Examples:

A simple Haxe code, creates a custom text by utilizing the Alphabet class from the objects library package.

runHaxeCode([[
     import objects.Alphabet;

     var awesome = new Alphabet(0, 0, 'Awesome', true);
     awesome.cameras = [game.camHUD];
     add(awesome);
]])

Imports variables that randomizes integer numbers to be used to calculate the area of an ellipse.

runHaxeCode([[
     function areaEllipse(aAxis:Float, bAxis:Float):Float {
          return Math.PI * aAxis * bAxis;
     }

     debugPrint(areaEllipse(awesomeNumber1, awesomeNumber2));
]], {awesomeNumber1 = getRandomInt(0, 10), awesomeNumber2 = getRandomInt(0, 10)})

Calls the area of an ellipse function and prints its calculated area. This is probably used to overcome some obscure bug from the runHaxeCode() function, when printing within functions.

runHaxeCode([[
     function areaEllipse(aAxis:Float, bAxis:Float):Float {
          debugPrint(Math.PI * aAxis * bAxis);
     }
]], nil, 'areaEllipse', {54, 43})

runHaxeFunction(func:String, ?args:Array<Dynamic> = null):Void

Runs a function from the previous interpreted Haxe code within a Lua script.

• func - An optional parameter, the said given function within the code to call outside the code from.
• args - An optional parameter, the certain amount of arguments to passed within the function, if said arguments exists.

Example:

Calls a bunch of formulas outside the Haxe code.

runHaxeCode([[
     function areaPyramid(baseLength:Float, baseWidth:Float, height:Float):Float {
          var calcDimensions = (baseMain:Float, baseAlt:Float) -> {
               return baseAlt * Math.sqrt( Math.pow((baseMain/2), 2) + Math.pow(height, 2) );
          }

          var dimensionLength = calcDimensions(baseLength, baseWidth);
          var dimensionWidth  = calcDimensions(baseWidth, baseLength);
          return (baseLength * baseWidth) + dimensionLength + dimensionWidth;
     }

     function areaCone(radius:Float, height:Float):Float {
          return Math.PI * radius * (radius + Math.sqrt( Math.pow(height, 2) + Math.pow(radius, 2) ));
     }
]])

debugPrint( runHaxeFunction('areaPyramid', {3, 4, 5}) ) --> 49.036107439225
debugPrint( runHaxeFunction('areaCone', {12, 33}) )     --> 1776.1597151886
