Garry's Mod 13 Version of RunString() in Binary Modules

[zeoed]

With the coming of Garry's Mod 13 came the new headers for binary modules, and now I'm stuck at how to implement this in a binary module. I thought I'd be smart and thought my example below would work but of course, it doesn't as I have no clue what I'm doing with these new headers. If anyone knows (or has) implemented a way to run a string of Lua in a binary module, I'd love to know how. Thanks!

#include "GarrysMod/Lua/Interface.h"
#include <stdio.h>


using namespace GarrysMod::Lua;


int TestFunction( lua_State* state )
{
    
    LUA->PushString("MsgN('Test Function Works!');");
    LUA->Call(0, 0);
    return 1;
}


GMOD_MODULE_OPEN()
{
    LUA->PushSpecial( GarrysMod::Lua::SPECIAL_GLOB );
    LUA->PushString( "TestFunction" );
    LUA->PushCFunction( TestFunction );
    LUA->SetTable( -3 );
    return 0;
}


GMOD_MODULE_CLOSE()
{
    return 0;
}

I already have an idea but, what exactly you need this for? :v:

It might sound redundant as I can also do this in Lua, but I'd like to use it as a base that all my servers can require to allow for easier mysqloo integration (Mainly connecting to the database, and escaping stuff). I'd like to do it in C++ just to get some experience with the language. :dance:

[B]EDIT:[/B] And yes, I know I can escape strings with MySQLoo already, I was just throwing out examples.

In GMOD_MODULE_OPEN, push the global table, then get the "RunString" field, create & store a reference to it then push that before the Lua you want to run.

Unless you want to directly get the C function that RunString is bound to, in which case I have no idea

Although what you're using it for is ridiculous...

The only reason I can think you "needing" this specific function is writing another shitty hack. :v:

Works like a charm, thanks! :smile:
