ugh…never mind guys I figured it out, the first function was passed after the table was instantiated, so it didn’t exist yet, thanks anyways :rolleyes:
Guys I’m trying to pass a function as a param to another function. I’m using a table to hold all the information. Here is a very simplified example of what I’m doing the problem is that when I pass the function as a param it prints out as nil, but if I pass the function directly it works just fine. There’s no typos I’ve checked them 100 times, so what else could it be? I appreciate you help thank you!
–function to pass as reference
function doSomething( )
end
–function with params
function doThat( params )
--create object up here etc
object.collision = params.methodParam --doesnt work
object.life = life
--Here is where it gets weird both of these should print the same thing, but the latter prints nil, hence
--the reason it doesnt work…why does it do that?
print( doSomething ) --prints function reference
print( params.methodParam ) --prints nil
end
–the params
playerParams = {
methodParam = doSomething,
life = 5
}
–call the function
doThat(playerParams)
