[SOLVED] getting script object after instantiating

okay, so I am using the ninjasnowwar method of instantiatin a xml node. It has a script instance on it. Called "Character"
I spawn it:

Node@ spawn_player(){
  XMLFile@ xml = cache.GetResource("XMLFile", "Scripts/character.xml");
  return scene_.InstantiateXML(xml, Vector3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f), Quaternion());
}

Then when I try to grab the scripobject:

void Start(){
  Node@ player_ = spawn_player();
  //Character@ c_ = cast<Character>(player_.GetScriptObject("Character"));
  Character@ c_ = cast<Character>(player_.scriptObject);
  Print(c_.temp);
}

the character script looks like this:

class Character:ScriptObject{
  int temp;
  Character(){
    temp = 9999;
  }
}

The print function gives me an error:
Exception ‘Null pointer access’ in ‘void Start()’ with either method (the non commented and the commented).
Am i going at this wrong? Am i trying to access it before it is instantiated?
Thanks

Not 100% sure if this is your issue, but something that tripped me up when working with Angelscript is the module resolution.

Here is a link that explains the issue: topic52.html

But in summary, if you want to talk to the ‘ scriptX.as ’ module from the ‘ scriptY.as ’ module, you need to #include ‘ scriptX.as ’ into ‘ scriptY.as ’ so that it’s one big module, and point both of the ScriptFile components to the ‘ scriptY.as ’ module. If you don’t do this, Angelscript will see the ‘Character’ class in ‘ scriptX.as ’ module as different from the ‘Character’ class in ‘ scriptY.as ’ module.

Other methods were also described in the link, but this one is simplest.

yep, that was it.
I just changed the path that my xml was refereceing, to not just reference the character.as file. but my main.as file, that I was calling it from.
Thanks for pointing that out.
