exec function and function calls

scryedzxp · Oct 26, 2005

I have an exec function and in it is a function call to a function in another class (M16AR).

Code:

exec function Zoom()
{
   M16AR.M16Zoom();
}

This exec fuction is located in a class called 'BFPlayer'.

Error: 'M16AR': Bad command or expression.

M16AR is a valid class. I ctrl + left-clicked on the function call, and it brings me to the appropriate function definition and file, so I'm not really sure what is wrong.

Can someone help me out? Is that an invalid function call? What exactly am I doing wrong?

Is M16AR a reference to a class or just a class name?

M16AR is a class.

You can only call static functions that way, you need to get a reference to the weapon (and make sure it's the right weapon) through the player and call the function that way.

Code:

exec function Zoom()
{
   if( super(BFPawn).weapon == M16AR )
   M16AR.static.M16Zoom();
}

Is that syntax correct? I'm not quite sure of what to put in place of right-hand operand (M16AR).

Code:

exec function Zoom()
{
   if( super(BFPawn).weapon == class'M16AR' )
   super(BFPawn).weapon.M16Zoom();
}

Static functions are called like, class'classname'.static.functionname().

Why don't you just put that function in the weapon class? Exec functions in a selected weapon can be called from the console and via keybinds.
