Feature request: Expose ICellArray to Extensions

[Pelipoika]

• What is your end goal, or what are you trying to accomplish?

I want to expose https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/master/mp/src/game/server/nav_pathfind.h#L751 (CollectSurroundingAreas) as a native to SourceMod plugins like:

ArrayList array = CreateArray(); CollectSurroundingAreas(array, ....)

and the extension would then fill the array with the surrounding areas.

• Why is this necessary, or what benefit do you see with it?

It would be a massive pain in the ass to expose all the functions that are used in CollectSurroundingAreas to SourcePawn so you could manually construct the function in SourcePawn, instead of just simply being able to fill an array.

still need this.......

Being able to extract the ICellArray/CellArray freely from a handle would be nice too. I'm currently doing hacky stuff to get g_pCoreIdent so ReadHandle works cleanly (g_pCoreIdent being exported in Windows dlls would be cool 👀).

yeah, this is a link to the file where I grab g_pCoreIdent and then ctrl+f how I used it https://github.com/rtldg/sm_closestpos/blob/f113dd3acdeae93caa76009896a48e42179c0fc1/extension.cpp#L132-L185
