Declaration and parameters#

C
bool UpdateAttackerOfBoardingOperation(UniverseID defensibletargetid, UniverseID defensibleboarderid, const char* boarderfactionid, const char* actionid, uint32_t* marinetieramounts, int32_t* marinetierskilllevels, uint32_t nummarinetiers);
C parameter
UniverseID defensibletargetid
UniverseID defensibleboarderid
const char* boarderfactionid
const char* actionid
uint32_t* marinetieramounts
int32_t* marinetierskilllevels
uint32_t nummarinetiers

A pointer return is cdata, not a Lua string. A C bool maps to Lua boolean, scalar C numbers normally map to number, and 64-bit integers and structs can remain cdata. void has no direct return; output buffers may still be modified. Buffer size, lifetime, ownership and the correct UI context must be established before calling.

Example and context#

See language basics, types and methods and Lua / MD events. Examples there are independent learning examples. No project source files or private implementation fragments are distributed with this reference.
