Any Way To Refer To The Functions or Property by changing the propertyname to string?
I know the title is a bit confusing, but I couldn`t think of any good name. Anyways, what I want to ask is, is there any way to refer to properties or function by string? For example, I have a module script that contains this:
01 | local module = {} |
02 | function module.blah1(bool) |
03 | if bool == true then |
04 | print("Blah1") |
05 | end |
06 | end |
07 |
08 | function module.blah2(bool) |
09 | if bool == true then |
10 | print("Blah2") |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | return module |
And the normal script will require this when Player Fires RemoteEvent.
1 | local blahModule = require(script.ModuleScript) |
2 |
3 | local function printBlah(plr,actionName) |
4 | --This Part Will Be Explained Later. |
5 | end) |
6 |
7 | game.ReplicatedStorage.BlahRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(printBlah) |
Now, If I were to make actionName either "Blah1" or "Blah2", Is there anyway to run the module function something like this?
1 | local function printBlah(plr,actionName) |
2 | blahModule.actionName(true) |
3 | end) |
Sorry for confusing text, and thankyou for any helps :D

yeah, you do both anonymous functions and regular functions like so:
MAIN SCRIPT
1 | module = require(game.Workspace.ModuleScript) |
2 |
3 | module["testFunction"]() |
4 | module["testAnonFunction"]() |
MODULE SCRIPT
01 | local module = {} |
02 |
03 | --anonymous function inside of a variable |
04 | module.testAnonFunction = function() |
05 | print("test anon function worked!") |
06 | end |
07 |
08 | --regular function inside of module table |
09 | function module.testFunction() |
10 | print("test function worked") |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | return module |
OUTPUT:
test function worked
test anon function worked!
