[vJASS] About "keyword".

Hey guys, why the following does not work? Thanks a lot.

scope example 
    keyword B
    //private keyword B does not work neither
    
    private function A takes nothing returns nothing
        local timer t = CreateTimer()
        call TimerStart(t,period,true,function B)
        set t = null
    endfunction
    
    private function B takes nothing returns nothing
        local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
        .....
        set t = null
    endfunction
endscope

Your code will not work nevertheless, because this is vJass feature and in Jass you cannot reference functions that are defined below your function, so even if

keyword B

function A takes nothing returns nothing
    call B.execute()
endfunction

function B takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

works, if you put TimerStart, or Condition or anything that takes code as parameter into function A, you cannot make it work and you will have to move the function above A

scope example initializer init
    globals
        private code B_CODE
    endglobals
    
    private function A takes nothing returns nothing
        local timer t = CreateTimer()
        call TimerStart(t,period,true,B_CODE)
        set t = null
    endfunction
    
    private function B takes nothing returns nothing
        local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
        .....
        set t = null
    endfunction

    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        set B_CODE = function B
    endfunction
endscope

        local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
        .....
        set t = null
    endfunction

    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        set B_CODE = function B
    endfunction
endscope

Beautiful, +Rep!
