Getting values of arbitrary types from an `HSCRIPT`

[explowz]

I see that this plugin supports getting an entity index from an HSCRIPT with the function VScript_EntityToHScript, but there are VScript functions that convert other classes to HSCRIPTs such as ScriptGetVisionInterface. Does this plugin support converting HSCRIPTs to arbitrary types (in this case Address)? I've looked though the source code, but cannot find a way to manually call List_GetClass and g_hSDKCallGetInstanceEntity.

There is HSCRIPT.Instance.get that works the same way as VScript_HScriptToEntity, but passing as a raw Address without a way to check if it's actually the correct class you wanted from pExpectedType, which (probably) isn't a big deal to miss this check.

But if we were to talk about a version of VScript_EntityToHScript to convert Address to HSCRIPT, that's not so simple as INextBotComponent and CNavArea both handles separately from entity that I'm hoping I don't need to handle each one.

It seems that calling that specific function using this plugin doesn't work. It seems to just return a bogus value. Unless I got something wrong here:

stock Address GetVisionInterface( int iBot )
{
    return view_as< HSCRIPT >( SDKCall( g_hfnGetVisionInterface, iBot ) ).Instance;
}

What exactly are you trying to do with the address that makes you think its bogus? wiki mentioned that returned INextBotComponent are not fully exposed, whatever that means if that's what causing it. You could check NextBotCombatCharacter.GetLocomotionInterface to see if returned ILocomotion can be used to see if it's just a INextBotComponent issue or not.

The fact that there's no way the interface could be at address 0x7. As for the wiki saying that the interface is not actially exposed, I'm not sure how true that is. If you take a look at the source code, the function I'm trying to call exists, is implemented, and the implementation is correct.

Well I just get crashes when trying to SDKCall NextBotCombatCharacter::GetVisionInterface, I do not have the necessary infrastructure anymore to investigate what's exactly causing the crash.
I did test out CBaseCombatCharacter::GetLastKnownArea which seems to give a valid HSCRIPT and the instance address associated with it, as NavArea is not an CBaseEntity.
If anything, this still gives me indication that it's game fault on the way NextBotCombatCharacter::GetVisionInterface is returned per the wiki.

I think you might be correct. It seems that there's no way to access a bot's m_vision property.
