Is this possible?

[Deltanic]

  
function someFunc.["someString"] ( a, b, c ) 
end 
  
function someFunc.["anotherString"] ( a, b, c ) 
end 
  

Just wondering if that could work, or is there any other way to achieve this?

What are you trying to achieve?

[DakiLLa]

You mean this?

  
local someFunc = {} 
  
someFunc["someString"] = function ( a, b, c ) 
end 
  
--etc.

What are you trying to achieve?

Creating a template system, where you can change your template ingame. But that isn't really relevant

You mean this?

  
local someFunc = {} 
someFunc["someString"] = function ( a, b, c ) 
end 
  

Probably, yes. Now, is the syntax to use it this?

  
local a = 1 
local b = 2 
local c = 3 
someFunc["someString"] ( a, b, c ) 
  

That doesn't look correct, does it?

[DakiLLa]

Yep, it does.

[Deltanic]

Oh, okay. Thanx then, it's what I wanted

Wait. I had the time today to try it, but it doesn't work.

  
-- cfg.lua 
loadTemplate = {} 
usedTemplate = "default" 
  
-- loadgui.lua 
if loadTemplate[template]() then -- ERROR: Attempt to index global 'loadTemplate' (A nil value) 
    -- stuff 
end 
  
-- default.lua 
loadTemplate["default"] = function ( ) 
    -- Loads of unimportant stuff 
end -- ERROR, yes, here, at the last line of the function: 
-- Attempt to call field '?' (A nil value) 
  

And since I've never done something like this with functions, I don't know any way to solve this too

It seems like it should work tho, did you try putting it all in one lua file?

Also, this is another way of calling functions:

function test123() 
    outputChatBox("test123 executed") 
end 
  
local functionName = "test123" 
  
_G[functionName] ()   --  test123 executed 

[Deltanic]

Lol, my game just crashes when putting it in one file:

  
loadTemplate                = {} 
usedTemplate                = "default" 
loadTemplate["default"] = function ( ) 
    -- stuff 
end 
  
if loadTemplate[usedTemplate]() then 
    -- stuff 
end 
  

Which is basically the same.

EDIT:

Oh, when doing this:

  
loadTemplate["default"] = function ( ) 
    -- stuff 
    return true -- watch this one 
end 
  

It will work.

-----------------------------------------------------

But I don't like the idea it all has to be in the same file. Can't the solution be to put cfg.lua at the top of meta.xml, and putting template.lua below? I thought meta.xml arranged the loading order too.

EDIT2:

Oh, re-arranging works. Though it looks ugly to use cfg.lua at the top So thanx, it works now
