I'm receiving a confusing error during compilation of my plugin in CW Pro 9 on MacOS. This error never happens in Windows using VC++ 6 and hadn't happened in similar situations, only this one.

The type of error is like this (typically) :

  
baseObject->SetParameter(DescID(LIGHT_TYPE), GeData(LIGHT_TYPE_DISTANT), NULL);  

And I receive this error:

  
Error : ambiguous access to overloaded function  
'GeData:GeData(float)'  
'GeData:GeData(int)'  
'GeData:GeData(double)'  
'GeData:GeData(long)'  

SetParameter() is used extensively in other places in my code (for setting Material channel, Tag, other Object parameters) and this is the only place where it is occuring: Mac, baseObject, light?

What the ...?

Help!

Found it. It actually wanted the type specified, in just this one situation. Hmmm...

So

baseObject->SetParameter(DescID(LIGHT_TYPE), GeData((LONG)LIGHT_TYPE_DISTANT), NULL);

satisfies. Strange but working.

Thanks,
