I want to make a problem clear, that probably has a devforum thread. However, it doesn't change the fact I can't find any solution:
-- if i have a function
function test()
-- can I call it from inside
test()
end
--[[ my functions are
going to be more but
what are the ways one can be used... --]]
Yes, you can call a function from within the same function as long as the function holds a reference to itself (through a global or local variable).
You use/call a function by referring to the function along with an argument list (), so:
local function f(...)
-- ...
end
f() -- call function f
f("a", 123, {}) -- pass arguments to function f
is "self" keyword also a table like "..."
self is a local that is implicitly assigned to the first argument passed to a function when you define the function with the colon syntax
thank you
