[LUA] ForForce() and GetEnumPlayer()

[Bauf]

The Map I uploaded has this LUA code.

function TestForce()
    print("Player Name: " .. GetPlayerName(GetEnumPlayer()))
end

function TestFunc()
    ForForce(GetPlayersAllies(Player(0)), TestForce())
end

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: TestFunc()

Player 1 has one ally, Player 2.
I expected to see:

"Player Name: Player 2"​

But when I run the map it only prints:

"Player Name:"​

GetEnumPlayer() isn't returning the players. Am I using ForForce() incorrectly? This seems to be the way it is supposed to work.

Try removing the parentheses from TestForce in ForForce, since nothing is being passed when it should've been a function.

Thank you that worked. But what if the function I pass to ForForce() has parameters. For example:

function TestForce(string)
    print(string .. GetPlayerName(GetEnumPlayer()))
end

function TestFunc()
    local text = "Hello: "
    ForForce(GetPlayersAllies(Player(0)), TestForce(text))
end

In my real code, the function i use in ForForce() needs to be passed local variables from the calling function.

Looks like you'll need to declare it as a closure.

function TestFunc()
    local string
    ForForce(GetPlayersAllies(Player(0)), function()
        print(string .. GetPlayerName(GetEnumPlayer()))
    end)
end

Yes that's what I'm looking for. Thanks again.

function TestForce(player, string)
    print(string .. GetPlayerName(player))
end

function TestFunc()
    local text = "Hello: "
    ForForce(GetPlayersAllies(Player(0)), function() TestForce(GetEnumPlayer(), text) end)
end
