[C++]Pointers in Scripts

[ladycrys89]

Hello all,

Silly question for you.

 

As a C++ learner I'm on my way to OOP comprehension, so I read some of the script in my "src" folder. 

I understood pointers (maybe), but I don't understand why using a pointers can affect the final script. Is it just a matter of memory waste? 

 

In short: what happens if I pass a simple variable (core explosion? Or simply it doesn't work) ? Do I really need to change the original value instead of the copy one?

 

Hope you know what I'm talking about...weird explanation I know 

 

Can you please give the names of some simple script that can I use for studying?

Pointers make it easy to access objects. As C++ is OOP, you'd ideally use pointers to simplify things. Go read up on trinitycore's wiki for some scripting walk throughs.
