Variable as function call
by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 12/06/2005 (6:22 am) · 5 replies
I would like to construct a call to a function using a variable. Have tried different methods with no success. Anyone know how to do this?
example:
%func = $GameName@"EquipPlayer";
%func(%player);
example:
%func = $GameName@"EquipPlayer";
%func(%player);

Where %func contains the name of the function you wish to call and %p1 .. %p6 are
variables holding each value you wish to pass.

You could pass parameters using:eval(%func@"(%p1,%p2,%p3,%p4,%p5,%p6);");
Where %func contains the name of the function you wish to call and %p1 .. %p6 are
variables holding each value you wish to pass.

%func = "mSin(3.14);"
%result = eval(%func);
Edit: Gary said it better.

When you build %function, make sure you use quotes around the string, as in%func = "mSin(3.14);"
%result = eval(%func);
