Export functions

[Gtagasje]

Hi,

I saw "export function" a while ago in a script, and I don't know what this is. So I got some questions about it.

1. What do exported functions do?

2. Are exported functions helpfull in scripts like police/clan systems?

3. How do you export a function?

I hope these can be answered, because I really dont know what exported functions are.

Thanks in advance.

Gtagasje.

exported function is a function (that exists in resource's code) that was exported in resource's meta.xml like this:

<export function="functionName" type="server" />  

type can be "server" or "client".

other resources can call an exported function by using call function.

function will be executed in its own resource and (can) return data to the resource that called it.

you can read all about it in call wiki page.

You dont even need to use call function there is a easier way

exports["resource-name"]:exportedFunction ( Arguments ) 

you can make it even simpler

variable = exports["resourcename"] 
variable:exportedFunction(arguments)

And what the problem? just using "exports" it's much more easy.
