E2 User Defined Functions

[GhostBuster]

Sounds good, got any ETA on the official support?

The fact that it is a week as of this post and we still havent got a reply isnt a promising sign, sadly as I am looking forward to the full release. Out of interest, what needs to be achieved before this can deployed, whats holding it back?

To answer his question: When it's done.
Things that need to be done are outlined on the bottom of page 24 of this thread, but most of them are already implemented.
The only thing that is holding it back is my recent lack of interest to work on it, or anything gmod related.

Hey, the compiler for this seems to be broken with the latest wire update. Could someone fix this?

The only update to any E2 compiler files is the wrong line fix, which isn't essential, and if you installed this before the update, you can just update your wiremod and SVN will merge the two changes to tokenizer.lua.

EDIT: SVN Update: Merged with Syranide's patch.

When using this code:

virtCompile("function Test(){selfDestruct()}")
print(virtLastError())

This is printed:

...lua\entities\gmod_wire_expression2\base\compiler.lua:124: attempt to index local 'origin' (a nil value)

Seems like functions cannot into virtualised E2.
(And yes, functions work perfectly outside of virtualised code. Everything is installed correctly and this is definitely a bug.)

I also can't pass functions as arguments to another function:

function MyFunc(F:function) {

}

This seems to be a collision with the function() function.

I don't know if anyone else has reported this already, but i think i found a bug.

@name Test
@inputs Write
@outputs Val
@persist Test:function
@trigger none

interval(100)

if(first()){
    Val = 0
    
    function Test(){
        
        print("Test"+" "+Val)
        Val++
        
    }
}

if(Write){
    Test()
}

The print outputs it right, with Val increasing every time Input Write goes 1.
But the E2 chip itself doesn't change it's output variable, it just changes to one and stays there.

Or maybe i'am doing something wrong?
Anyways great work on this!

This won't work on a server without this installed, will it?

[Drunkie]

You need this addon on the server to be able to use it. E2 is server-side.

this addition to E2 gonna be forgotten? lmao
