UnigineScript Containers

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 UnigineScript (beyond its scope of applications) is not guaranteed, as the current level of support assumes only fixing critical issues.

You can work with UnigineScript containers from C++ side via Unigine API, that is, with:

See also#

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

Container Export Example#

Unigine vectors and maps can be accessed via:

Notice
To enumerate all of the ArrayMap elements, use the special ArrayMap::Iterator class.

C++ Side#

Create setter and getter functions that receive Unigine containers and handle their elements. Then, export the created functions in order to use them in the script.

Notice
You should specify the array declaration as the last argument of the MakeExternFunction() if your array functions receive an array as an argument.
Source code (C++)
MakeExternFunction(&my_array_vector_set,"[]")

Access from Script#

And here is how the exported custom functions can be used back in UnigineScript:

Source code (UnigineScript)
// my_world.usc

/*
*/
int init() {
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\naccess to vector\n\n");
	
	int vector[] = ( 0, 1 );
	
	for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
		log.message("vector %d: %s\n",i,typeinfo(my_array_vector_get(vector,i)));
		my_array_vector_set(vector,i,string(i));
		log.message("vector %d: %s\n",i,typeinfo(my_array_vector_get(vector,i)));
	}
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\naccess to map\n\n");
	
	int map[] = ( 0 : 0, 1 : 1 );
	
	for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
		log.message("map %d: %s\n",i,typeinfo(my_array_map_get(map,i)));
		my_array_map_set(map,i,string(i));
		log.message("map %d: %s\n",i,typeinfo(my_array_map_get(map,i)));
	}
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\nvector generation\n\n");
	
	my_array_vector_generate(vector);
	
	foreachkey(int i; vector) {
		log.message("vector %d: %s\n",i,typeinfo(vector[i]));
	}
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\nmap generation\n\n");
	
	my_array_map_generate(map);
	
	foreachkey(int i; map) {
		log.message("map %d: %s\n",i,typeinfo(map[i]));
	}
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\nvector enumeration\n\n");
	
	my_array_vector_enumerate(vector);
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\nmap forward enumeration\n\n");
	
	my_array_map_enumerate_forward(map);
	
	/////////////////////////////////
	
	log.warning("\nmap backward enumeration\n\n");
