Run functions with the same name

Overkillz · January 12, 2019

Hello dear community. Today I wanted to create a multi room script. However, I have realized that might could be an easy way to make something similar like copy and paste to use almost the whole code as template but on different files. (ON THE SAME RESOURCE BUT DIFFERENT FILES)

Here goes my question. Could I run the function from one file just changing a VARIABLE VALUE?.

I would like that you explain me whats the best way to reach and optimize result without using different names for functions, events ..etc The code is going to be so long, thats why I wont to start yet.

NOTE: The script looks the same 2 times due to I just change the variable 'currentArena'. Read it carefully please.

--### guiResourceName/
--CIENT
function joinArena(ID)
	if tonumber(ID) == 1 then
		triggerServerEvent ( "onPlayerJoinServerRoom", localPlayer, 1 )
	elseif tonumber(ID) == 2 then
		triggerServerEvent ( "onPlayerLeaveServerRoom", localPlayer, 1 )
	elseif tonumber(ID) == 3 then
		triggerServerEvent ( "onPlayerJoinServerRoom", localPlayer, 2 )
	elseif tonumber(ID) == 4 then
		triggerServerEvent ( "onPlayerLeaveServerRoom", localPlayer, 2 )
	end
end
bindKey("1","down",joinArena)
bindKey("2","down",joinArena)
bindKey("3","down",joinArena)
bindKey("4","down",joinArena)

local arenaList = {}

function loadEvents()
	addEvent( "onEventTest", true )

	removeEventHandler( "onEventTest", getRootElement(), listEventTest)
end

addEvent("onPlayerJoinRoom", true)
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoinRoom", root, function(ArenaNo)
	if ArenaNo == currentArena then
		outputChatBox("Succesfully joined at arena: "..currentArena)
		loadHandlers()
	end
end)

Sorry, but I didn't got your question !

You can do that with local functions. Those functions can only be used within the file

local name = function () end

local function name ()
  
  -- this one is able call itself,in compare to the previous one: name()
end

local name -- variable scope starts here

function name ()
  
end

Another solution would a table with methods.

What do you mean with table methods ? Something like this ?

Room = {}

function Room.Join()
	--Something Here
end

function Room.Leave()
	--Something Here
end

function Room.Start()
	--Something Here
end

--.....

Yes. To be honest, I still do not understand your question completely, so I am trying to gamble a bit.

I'd recommend using table based functions for organization.

functions = {}
functions['RoomA'] = {}
functions['RoomB'] = {}

functions['RoomA'].test = function ()
  
end


functions['RoomB'].test = function ()
  
end

functions['RoomA'].test()
functions['RoomB'].test()

functions['RoomB'].test()

Well, but following this method I must to have all the rooms on the same file. I want to have them on different files but in the same resource.

And I have another question. How can I call some of these functions from another resource without adding a custom event, exports and without using callClientFunction/callServerFunction ?

Thanks for your help. I know I can sound so annoying but I would like to learn more about this.

Regards.

That is not possible.

Well, according to your previous answer. Is there someway to execute the function for ROOM 1 (And not the ROOM 2) from an external resource without using a variable ?

--## resourceName/room1/client.lua
local function testFunction ()
	--CODE
end
addEvent("onTestThisFunction",true)
addEventHandler("onTestThisFunction",root,testFunction)

--## resourceName/room2/client.lua -- <-- Now the folderRoom is the 2nd one (SAME Resource)

local function testFunction ()
	--CODE
end
addEvent("onTestThisFunction",true)
addEventHandler("onTestThisFunction",root,testFunction)

--## anotherResource/ -- 

triggerServerEvent ( "onTestThisFunction", localPlayer )

You don't have to have them in the same file. You define the global table in one file then every file can use that table.

Well, but could I run just one of the functions by a trigger using the same name for the event ? Something like that.

-- FOR ROOM 1
addEvent("onTestThisFunction",true)
addEventHandler("onTestThisFunction",root,whateverFunctionName)

-- Same event name FOR ROOM 2
addEvent("onTestThisFunction",true)
addEventHandler("onTestThisFunction",root,whateverFunctionName)

In case of no. which one would be the optimal way for it ?

Thanks for ur help, regards.
