This class represents the tolua bridge between the Lua API and MCServer. It supports some low
level operations and queries on the objects. See also the tolua++'s documentation at
{{http://www.codenix.com/~tolua/tolua++.html#utilities}}. Normally you shouldn't use any of these
functions except for cast() and type()

[[
The tolua.cast() function is normally used to cast between related types. For example in the
hook callbacks you often receive a generic {{cEntity}} object, when in fact you know that the
object is a {{cMonster}}. You can cast the object to access its cMonster functions:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">
function OnTakeDamage(a_ReceiverEntity, TDI)
if (a_ReceiverEntity.IsMob()) then
local Mob = tolua.cast(a_ReceiverEntity, "cMonster"); -- Cast a_ReceiverEntity into a {{cMonster}} instance
if (Mob:GetMonsterType() == cMonster.mtSheep) then
local Sheep = tolua.cast(Mob, "cSheep"); -- Cast Mob into a {{cSheep}} instance
-- Do something sheep-specific
end
end
end
</pre>
