Function Export

Warning
The scope of applications for UnigineScript is limited to implementing materials-related logic (material expressions, scriptable materials, brush materials). Do not use UnigineScript as a language for application logic, please consider C#/C++ instead, as these APIs are the preferred ones. Availability of new Engine features in UnigineScipt (beyond its scope of applications) is not guaranteed, as the current level of support assumes only fixing critical issues.

Unigine API supports export of:

  • Pure functions
  • Methods of specific objects as pure functions

See also#

An example can be found in <UnigineSDK>/source/samples/Api/Scripts/Functions/ directory.

Function Export Example#

Pure functions and object methods that are exported can take up to 9 arguments.

Notice
The object whose methods are exported should not be destroyed while it is used by the engine in a script.

Below is an example of function and method export.

  1. Create a pointer to an external function via MakeExternFunction(). For object methods, useMakeExternObjectFunction().
  2. Register the function or a method via Unigine::Interpreter::addExternFunction().
  3. All functions are exported into a global namespace. To limit the scope of the exported function or a method, use library namespace.

Access from Scripts#

After the registration, the exported functions and methods can be used in a script written in UnigineScript (loaded in AppSystemLogic::init() above):

Source code (UnigineScript)
/*
 */
int init()
{
	/////////////////////////////////

	log.message("\nFunctions:\n\n");

	// my_sum(1) with default second argument
	log.message("result is: %s\n\n", typeinfo(my_sum(1)));

	// my_sum(1,2)
	log.message("result is: %s\n\n", typeinfo(my_sum(1, 2)));

	// my_sum("begin","end")
	log.message("result is: %s\n\n", typeinfo(my_sum("begin", "end")));

	// my_sum(1,"end")
	log.message("result is: %s\n\n", typeinfo(my_sum(1, "end")));

	// my_mul(16,64)
	log.message("result is: %s\n\n", typeinfo(my_mul(16, 64)));

	// my_dot(vec3(1.0f,2.0f,3.0f),vec3(4.0f,5.0f,6.0f))
	log.message("result is: %s\n\n", typeinfo(my_dot(vec3(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f), vec3(4.0f, 5.0f, 6.0f))));

	/////////////////////////////////

	log.message("Member functions:\n\n");

	// default argument
	my_application.init();

	// manual argument
	my_application.init(100);

	// update application
	for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
		log.message("%d: %d\n", i, my_application.update());

	// shutdown
	my_application.shutdown();

	/////////////////////////////////

	// show console
	engine.console.setActivity(1);

	return 1;
}

Output#

The following result will be printed into the console:

Output
Functions:

my_sum(1,1): called
result is: int: 2

my_sum(1,2): called
result is: int: 3

my_sum(begin,end): called
result is: string: "begin+end"

my_sum(int,string): called
result is: string: "unknown"

my_mul(16,64): called
result is: float: 1024

my_dot((1,2,3),(4,5,6)): called
result is: float: 32

Member functions:

MyApplication::init(1) called
MyApplication::init(100) called
0: 137337
1: 46850
2: 128527
3: 42672
MyApplication::shutdown() called

Default Argument Values#

If you want to export functions with default values for their arguments, you can specify them as the last argument of MakeExternFunction(). The order of values should be the same as the order of arguments in the function declaration, and the values should be comma-separated. For example:

Source code (C++)
void foo(const char *a,float b) { }

// To specify default values:
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction(&foo,"\"Unigine\",0.4"));

If you want to specify default values not for all arguments, simply omit those that do not have defaults, but don't forget commas:

Source code (C++)
// To specify only required default value:
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction(&foo,",0.4"));

Expression as a Default Argument#

Besides constants, you can also specify expressions as default values.

  • Expressions are evaluated before the function is registered.
  • An expression provided as a default argument should return a value of the same type as the corresponding argument. Type conversions are not supported, the only exception being a two-way conversion between float and int.

Overloading Caveats#

Unlike C++, UnigineScript is not a strongly typed language. In C++ code you can have two or more functions with the same name that return a value of the same type, but accept different types of arguments (or the number of arguments differs). If you attempt to export them into scripts simply by registering function names, MakeExternFunction() will fail.

To make registration work, you need to explicitly specify:

  1. Return value type
  2. Arguments types
Source code (C++)
void foo(int a) { }
void foo(float a) { }

/* Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction(&foo));  
 * This expression will not work since Interpreter cannot choose between functions.
 */
   
// To register void foo(int a), use:   
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction<void,int>(&foo));

// To register void foo(float a), use:
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction<void,float>(&foo));

Let's say we have got a more difficult situation: the first arguments of functions are of the same type. In such case, following syntax is used for registration:

Source code (C++)
void foo(int a) { }
void foo(int a,int b) { }

/* Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction<void,int>(&foo)); 
 * This expression will not work since both functions take an integer as a first argument.
 */

// To register void foo(int a), use:
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction((void (*)(int))&foo)); 
 
// To register void foo(int a,int b), use:
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction((void (*)(int,int))&foo)); 

/* Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction<void,int,int>(&foo));
 * This expression will also allow to register void foo(int a,int b).
 */

Overloading Exported Methods#

If ambiguity exists for class static methods names, it is resolved in a similar way as for functions.

Source code (C++)
class Class {

	public:
	
		static int foo(float a) { return 1; }
        static int foo(int a) { return 1; }
		static void foo(int a,int b) { return 1; }
};

/*
*/

// To register foo(float a):
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction((int (*)(float))&Class::foo));
// To register foo(int a):
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction((int (*)(int))&Class::foo));
// To register foo(int a,int b):
Interpreter::addExternFunction("foo",MakeExternFunction((void (*)(int,int))&Class::foo));
