How to create a Lua argument function?

[beo6]

Hello,

 

i wonder how we should be able to create an argument function in lua like it is showed here:

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/user-guide/object-scripts-r631

 

 

 

a function like this does not work:

function Script:GetValue()--out
return self.thevalue
end

 

and adding a second parameter to self.component:CallOutputs("GetValue", self.thevalue)

doesn't work also and is most probably wrong anyway.

 

haven't found any better documentation about that.

I have asked Josh a question about this but I haven't gotten a response yet. I have been holding of the flowgraph tutorial for about 4 weeks now since I don't know how it works.

This will work

 

function Script:GetValue()--arg
return self.thevalue
end

wow thanks.

After everything i have tried i didn't came to try it this way.

 

Will try it out when i am home.

 

 

Am i blind or where is that documented?

[NarkLord]

I don't think it's documented. I just guessed.

I'm finding most things about the engine quite intuitive.

Although initially I thought --out should have worked

[beo6]

i find it intuitive too.

Thats the reason why i tried --out but i haven't thought about trying --arg.

Nice, I wasn't sure about this either. beo6, I was able to make a level picker script that sets a value based on what button was picked and then triggers your script. It's working great so far!
