In Lua code (Lua 4.0), I've tried to do the following:
function ent_wall()
-- do stuff...
end
function entity_spawn(name)
args = {}
call( "ent_" .. name, args) -- ERROR
end
entity_spawn("wall")
result is:
"Error: attempt to call a string value."
Of course, what this should have accomplished is:
call(ent_wall, args)
So, how do I get a "handle" to function "funcname", having
it's (string) name? Like:
handle = get funcion by name ("ent_wall")
call(handle, args) -- call global function "ent_wall"
(If there is no way other than implementing this in C yourself, this
would be a nice addition to Lua's baselib)
