Object functions...

[Tigairius]

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  obj.testfunct();
}

function obj.testfunct() {
  player.chat = "hi";
} 


This does not work, you can't trigger your own functions onto other objects. However, you can do this and it works just fine:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  obj.testfunc();
}

obj.testfunc = function() {
  player.chat = "hi";
} 


So for further example:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  new GuiWindowControl("lalala") {
    width = height = 50;
    x = y = 50;
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;
  }
  lalala.hi();
}

function lalala.hi() {
  player.chat = "hello";
} 


This does not work. Neither does this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  new GuiWindowControl("lalala") {
    width = height = 50;
    x = y = 50;
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;
    thiso.catchEvent(this, "hi", "LALA123");
  }
  lalala.hi();
}

function LALA123() {
  player.chat = "hello";
} 


This doesn't work either:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  new GuiWindowControl("lalala") {
    width = height = 50;
    x = y = 50;
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;

    this.hi = function() {
      player.chat = "hi";
    }
  }
  lalala.hi();
} 


However, this works fine:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  new GuiWindowControl("lalala") {
    width = height = 50;
    x = y = 50;
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;
  }

  lalala.hi = function() {
    player.chat = "hello";
  }

  lalala.hi();
} 


However, none of these problems occur serverside. So... yeah.

I've done some research on this topic before, and I have another quirky example of code:

PHP Code:

new GuiControl("toastControl") {
  this.testFunc = public function() {
    echo("Hi there!");
  };
}

toastControl.testFunc(); 


The code works perfectly fine, but it throws a syntax error.

That's just odd o.o

It works when using public function, but not without public..

PHP Code:

new GuiControl("toastControl") {
  thiso.toast = this;
}
this.toast.testFunc = function() {
  echo("Hi there!");
};
this.toast.testFunc(); 


The above works, but the other 'object functions' issues should be fixed

Can't you just join the object to a class?

Class guifunctions:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function changetext(newtext) {
  this.text = temp.newtext;
  player.chat = "Changed text to " @ temp.newtext;
} 


Weapon GUI:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  new GuiButtonCtrl("MyButton") {
    this.join("guifunctions");
    this.profile = GuiButtonProfile;
    this.text = "Some text";
  }
}
function MyButton.onAction() {
  MyButton.changetext("Other text");
} 


I haven't tested this specific one myself, but Inverness' GUI fading works this way; you join the window GUI to a class, and use MyWindow.fadein(), etc.

Though this is probably going to be considered a work-around, I find it more organized.

Of course we can, but that's not the point of this thread.

Obviously, which is why I mentioned that joining a class is probably a work-around. Personally, I find using a class more organized.

PHP Code:

new GuiControl("toastControl") {
  this.testFunc = public function() {
    echo("Hi there!");
  };
} 


This just looks bad.

if graal had lua this never happen

Pure preference.

I don't really think it looks that bad and I would prefer it over creating an entire class just to invoke one small function.
