OOP Functions

[3B00DG4MER]

Hi guys,

I tried to Export an OOP function like that:

function dxEditBox:create() 
  
end 

<export function="dxEditBox:create" type="client" /> 

i Called it like that :

exports.RESOURCENAME:dxEditBox:create()

so I've to define it as variable first ?

That's one possible solution, it's annoying but makes it possible. That topic has everything you need.

Thank You,

    local menu = exports[ "SAFMenu" ].Menu_create( localPlayer, bot:getData("name"),155,0, 0 ) 
    loadstring(exports[ "SAFMenu" ].Menu_open( localPlayer,absoluteX, absoluteY ))(menu) 

failed to call 'SAFMenu:Menu_open' [string "?"]

Bad Argument 1 [Expected String got Boolean]

attempt to call a boolean

Why are you using loadstring? loadstring is used to run code, you're passing the returned value of Menu_open to loadstring.

[3B00DG4MER]

if i don't use loadstring, same problem

[JR10]

Did you export the open function with the correct type?

[3B00DG4MER]

  
Menu = {} 
Menu.__index = Menu 
Menu.instances = {} 
Menu_open = Menu.open 
function Menu:open(x, y) 
... 
     return self 
end 
  

        <export function="Menu_open" type="client" /> 

[JR10]

You assign Menu_open before you define Menu.open? Move the line below the function.

[3B00DG4MER]

same

Do you want me to send you the Resource on PM ?

local menu = exports[ "SAFMenu" ].Menu_create( localPlayer, bot:getData("name"),155,0, 0 ) 

As far as I know, exports is a table, but exports["SAFMenu"] is more like a class... I think you were meant to put a semi-colon ( : ) instead of the period ( . ) between exports["SAFMenu"] and Menu_create

[3B00DG4MER]

i think they're the same ?

[JR10]

Not really. Just replace the dot with a semi-colon.

   local menu = exports[ "SAFMenu" ]:Menu_create( localPlayer, bot:getData("name"),155,0, 0 ) 
exports[ "SAFMenu" ]:Menu_open( localPlayer,absoluteX, absoluteY ) 

[3B00DG4MER]

Menus = {} 
Menus.main = exports[ "SAFMenu" ]:Menu_create("Test",155,0, 0 ) 

That Line Works

That one is killing ME !

exports[ "SAFMenu" ]:Menu_open(Menus.main,absoluteX, absoluteY ) 

Failed to call:"SAFMenu:Menu_open" [string: ?]

Did you even read the replies in the topic TAPL linked you to? Meta tables are resource specific not global.

If you don't understand then it's time to learn more about OOP or just drop it and use procedural syntax.

[3B00DG4MER]

i can't , i made more than 40 OOP function in One resource

[JR10]

Well, you can't export OOP functions right now, a bug is reported (again, TAPL's links) so you just have to wait or try something different.

The topic covered a possible work around, check it.
