Cheat Engine

MMM-304

I've created a class, registered it as a userdata, and associated a metatable with it in C++. The problem is that in Lua engine, it does not index its properties and functions as it does with Pascal ones. And also on debug, it does not show "Object of type ...", which I have found to be associated with Pascal class TObject.ClassName property.

How can I add these features to my c++ based userdata including the indexing in LuaEngine?

In the metatable fill in the methods and properties and also implement __index and __newindex manually

I did. That is why it shows the result when I hover over a property or shows "native function" for functions when I debug in Lua Engine. But it does not show anything when I try to index it while writing the code!

the object is of type LUA_TUSERDATA or LUA_TLIGHTUSERDATA ?

Yes it is LUA_TUSERDATA.

@Dark Byte

I did some research and found that the error that occurs when I hover over my userdata object (to get its class name) occurs in the function "LuaValueToDescription" of file LuaHandler.pas.
That is because it tries to convert my c++ class into pascal TObject which it is not:

maybe instead of userdata make it a normal table with metadata assigned and have most of the entries copied to the table as well for the index (just for visuals while the metadata does the actual work)

Cant. I have multiple C++ objects that need to be accessed and written like other CE's LuaObjects.

Normal tables with associated metatables does not even require a plugin. I have my .lua based lib doing this already. But for current task I need c++ operations.
