When returning objects, be sure to use `ade_set_object_with_breed`, per the documentation on that function. This ensures that all relevant subclass information can be used.
Also fix the return value of streaminganim's isValid() function.
These were all cases where the parameter was the new value when setting
a variable. The variables should always be initialized when that code is
reached but it is still better to check the pointers before using them.
These were found by @niffiwan.
This will automatically call the destructor of a type of Lua calls the
garbage collector for an object of that type. This is the last step
towards fully supporting non-trivial objects in the Lua API and all
previous workarounds have been removed.
As described in #1278, the current scripting system has issues with
handling non-trivial C++ types. Since fixing that deficiency is too much
work, especially since we are in a feature freeze, I decided to simply
enforce the usage of trivial types for scripting handles. Fortunately,
only two handles used non-trivial types so it was relatively easy to fix
those instances by dynamically allocating those and only storing the
pointers in the lua memory.
This fixes a bug in JAD-XA where the game would crash at the last boss.
Also, I noticed that the HudGauge handle used a copy of the hud gauge
rather than a pointer to the actual instance so I'm pretty sure that any
scripting changes to a custom HUD gauge simply didn't work before.
