[Solved] Custom global function?

[Ixnatifual]

Is it possible to define your own global function which you can call through script entities? This way I can avoid copy-pasting the same function into every level.

[Shroom]

If you name you main script entity globalFunctions for example, you would reference the function called notAgain() like so

globalFunctions.notAgain()

It didn't occur to me you could call scripts on an entity through the dot operator. Problem solved

Solved.

Thanks anyway.

May I misunderstood, but I try to call a function from another script entity with the dot but It doesn't work...


Here the calling the other :

Code: Select all

pnjName = "Victor"
dialEnd = "end of dialog"
dialog = {"Oh, so you come to see Victor! Afraid of Scotia's new toy ? Ha ha!", "Why afraid? Look at Victor. Myself could use a shapechanger! Ha ha ha!", "You show Victor what you want to buy. Maybe you show Victor what you sell, OK ?", dialEnd}
secondDialog = {"You again come to see Victor ?", dialEnd}
byeDialog = {"You again come visit, no?", dialEnd}
fromShop = false

function victorSay()
	fromShop =globalDialogs.pnjDialog(dialog, fromShop, pnjName)
	if dialog ~= secondDialog then
		dialog = secondDialog
	end
end

function victorBye()
	globalDialogs.pnjBye(byeDialog, fromShop, pnjName)
end

And the called script entity :

Code: Select all

function pnjTell(dialog, pnjName)
	local dialNumber = 1
	hudPrint("")

	if dialog[dialNumber] ~= dialEnd then
		hudPrint(pnjName.." : "..dialog[dialNumber])
		dialNumber = dialNumber + 1
		
		while dialog[dialNumber] ~= dialEnd do
			hudPrint(dialog[dialNumber])

			dialNumber = dialNumber + 1
		end	
	end
end


function pnjDialog(dialog, fromShop, pnjName)
	if not fromShop then
		pnjTell(dialog, pnjName)
		fromShop = true
	end
	return fromShop		
end

]function pnjBye(dialog, fromShop, pnjName)
	if fromShop then
		pnjTell(byeDialog, pnjName)
		fromShop = false
	end
	return fromShop
end

Thanks.
