[Solved] ExecuteFunc works with methods?

[Arad MNK]

Yes or no?

 

[Flux]

only static methods with no input and output, e.g. static method myMethod takes nothing returns nothing.
Anyway, ExecuteFunc are generally avoided because they are slower than trigger evaluations.

 

[Arad MNK]

I am using it somewhere that speed isn't much important.
Also, I use it somewhere that I build up strings for the function/method call.

Anyways are you sure? I'm not sure JASShelper looks through the strings...

 

[WereElf]

the function name should look something like LbiraryName_StructName_MethodName.

call ExecuteFunc("One_Two_Three")

library One //or scope
struct Two
    real x
    static method Three takes nothing returns nothing
    endmethod
endstruct
endlibrary

Or something like that... not entirely sure how exactly will it look like

 

[Flux]

Yeah I'm sure.

scope MyScope
    
    
    struct MyStruct
    
        
        static method myMethod1 takes nothing returns nothing
            call BJDebugMsg("ExecuteFunc1 bitch!")
        endmethod
        
        public static method myMethod2 takes nothing returns nothing
            call BJDebugMsg("ExecuteFunc2 bitch!")
        endmethod
   
        private static method myMethod3 takes nothing returns nothing
            call BJDebugMsg("ExecuteFunc3 bitch!")
        endmethod

    endstruct
    
endscope

Call:

    call ExecuteFunc("s__MyStruct_myMethod1")
    call ExecuteFunc("s__MyStruct_myMethod2")
    call ExecuteFunc("s__MyStruct_myMethod3")

^All works.

EDIT:
If it's a private struct, you have to call with this:

    call ExecuteFunc("s__MyScope__MyStruct_myMethod1")

Good, nice information. +rep

 

[Anitarf]

Or you could use the .name property as it was intended:

call ExecuteFunc( MyStruct.myMethod1.name )

Or, alternatively, call MyStruct.myMethod1.execute()

This one is pretty new for me. Thanks a bunch!

Yes not many know about the .name field.
It's documented in the JassHelper manual. Btw it also works for functions.
call ExecuteFunc(MyFunction.name)
