Re: No matching overload found

Thank you for your response, James. I did what you said and it worked
immediately. I'll just paste the code here for Googlers in future:
//C++
//Global scope
CBaseEntity *NULL_CBaseEntity = NULL;

//in a function somewhere else
luabind::globals( GetLuaHandle()->GetLua() )["NULL_CBaseEntity"] =
NULL_CBaseEntity;

-- in the Lua function
if( pStartEntity and szName ) then
 if ( pStartEntity == NULL ) then
 pStartEntity = NULL_CBaseEntity
 end
-- call function
 gEntList:FindEntityByName( pStartEntity, szName, NULL_CBaseEntity,
NULL_CBaseEntity, NULL_CBaseEntity, NULL_CBaseEntity )
end



Sorry, but I have just one more question regarding this piece of code. This
function returns a base class type. I'm wondering how to cast this another
type. The Lua reference manual and PIL don't seem to mention casting of this
type and Google hasn't been helpful. I basically want:
// in C++
DerivedType d = (DerivedType)g.getObject('objectName') ; // returned base
object is cast to derived type
... // perform derivedType specific functions

but code to the same effect in Lua. Is there an easy LuaBind way of doing
this? I've been at this for over a day so I'd also gladly settle for any way
of doing this casting in Lua.

All input is appreciated :)
