+When a new method is registered the engine will send an '''ScriptRegisterFunctionEvent''' on which the connected script wrappers should react to add this new function into their environment. After this a simple call of (example showed in lua):
+{{{
+function run ()
+    result = someClass_scriptFunc(5)
+end
+}}}
+will be linked with the real implementation of the script function. Of course you have to know how to react on the provided arguments. The 'result' variable will contain either a result or an error message.

+Since all the communication is done by strings a wrapper plugin has to know how to interpret the strings into the appropriate message or value. The scripting glue code has also to know how to translate the results given back to the script environment back. ["LuaPlugin"] is a simple glue plugin giving you access to the [http://www.lua.org/ lua] language within the engine.
