Scopes

[Homer]

I've never used them before and I have a question. How would i trigger a scope to run from outside the scope(via another function or trigger).

function testing takes nothing returns nothing
//call start scope test
endfunction

scope test initializer start
private function start takes nothing returns nothing
//what do i put here exactly?
endfunction
endscope

Hopefully I'm getting what I want to say across. Thanks in advance.

Easier would be to use a library if you want it called from multiple triggers since these will move your code to the map header. Other than that all you need to do is call the function by its name, which can be done by any function that is not private.

This is the only way to call it? is if its public? Hmm...

You can just leave it as it is, or you can make it public. For example:

library Stuff

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

public function Test2 takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction
endlibrary

The function "Test" would be called using "call Test()", while the function "Test2" would be called using "call Stuff_Test2()" (unless it's called within the library, then you can call it using only the function name).
