I was trying to return a bool value to the host app from the script. here's my code..... ------------------ C++ CODE -------------------------------engine->GetFunctionIDByName("test"); Context->Execute(); DWORD j=0; Context->GetReturnValue( &j, 0 ); bool bState = (bool)j; ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- SCRIPT CODE ---------------------------- bool test() { OutputDebugMessage("test works!"); return true; } ---------------------------------------------------------- Is this right? cos I dont seem to be getting results even though i get a debug outputstring!

Change it to

Context->GetReturnValue( &j, 1 );

and I believe it will work. You were telling the engine to copy 0 dwords to the j variable, which of course wouldn't work. [wink]

Oops! seems to be working now? is there anyway i could directly obtain values in the right data type since i think typecasting might be slower.

You can probably do it like this:

bool bState;Context->GetReturnValue( (DWORD*)&bState, 1 );

Tried it.......Doesnt seem to work, the older method works though!
