Pair of simple questions about using asIScriptGeneric: Given that there isn't a GetArgBool nor a SetReturnBool, what is recommended to use instead to get a bool argument or set a bool return when using MAX_PORTABILITY? A DWORD? And, what is the difference between making "GetReturnPointer() = xxx" and using SetReturnAddress? Thnx in advance

Yes, you may use DWord for setting/getting the boolean value.

The GetReturnPointer has been badly named. It should be something like GetPointerToReturnValue instead. It will return the pointer to the return value, so you can read/write the value by dereferncing the pointer.

The GetReturnAddress should be used when the return type is an address, e.g. a reference or an object handle. It will give you address returned by function.

Thanks, this makes it much clearer.
