Execute Code Variable

[TriggerHappy]

Possible?

without having some weird ExecuteFunc string typecasting?

if you can use vJASS you could read this Tutorial ...it may help you along your wa y..

I know about function interfaces, but say I wanted something like this.

function callFunc takes code func returns nothing
    call func.execute()
endfunction

How would I do something like that. I have never used function interfaces before but they look pretty preset.

I want to be able to call any function.

 

[Trollvottel]

not possible.

 

[TriggerHappy]

not possible.

Alright :thdown:

Umm...

function ExecuteCode takes code f returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition(f))
    call TriggerEvaluate(t)
endfunction

 

[TriggerHappy]

Yes, but I don't want to dynamically create triggers.

Create a global one and use that?

What whelp suggests works very well

library CallFunc

globals
    private trigger Trigger = CreateTrigger()
endglobals

private function CallFunc takes code func returns nothing
    call TriggerClearConditions(Trigger)
    call TriggerAddCondition(Trigger, Condition(func))
    call TriggerEvaluate(Trigger)
endfunction

endlibrary

The func has to return a boolean so it's a valid condition function.
Input and return values are a bit of a problem when using this, but passing data via globals helps a long way.

call TriggerAddCondition(Trigger, Condition(func))
You forgot to put a ).

There are a bunch of native functions that take a code variable and execute it. Even ones you use all the time like ForGroup.

http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/BUILT_IN-types-code.shtml

You can use a bunch of them to run a code variable. If you don't want to create triggers, then I suggest ForForce(some_force_with_1_player, code func).

Actually, StartThread sounds like it does exactly what you want but I've never used it. Test that out first.

not possible.

Wouldn't the filter function be the easiest?

The filter and condition functions don't execute the code. They wrap it in another type, which can be used to execute boolean code in conditions and stuff.

StartThread is NOT an normal Native ..its an AI-Native...
