 |

Hi, I asked to myself if it would be possible to simulate C-pointers in nwscript with some NWNX2 stuff on NWN1.
Thanks for your answers. |

| Even if it were possible, I can't see much use for it. It would be convenient to be able to pass structs by reference I suppose, but since NWScript isn't object-oriented that's about it. If you really want something like this, it might be better to run something like nwnx_ice and do the code in C++ or some other language. |

| Can you give me some documentation for nwnx_ice ? |

With handwritten NWScript assembler, or by hacking up a variant of the open source NWScript compiler, you could accomplish this (and arrays) by abusing the global variable frame pointer and a lack of type safety on restoring the global variable frame pointer from the VM stack at runtime.
I wouldn't recommend it though. |
