E2 User Defined Functions

[Colonel Thirty Two]

Just so you know, Colonel Thirty Two is my in-game username.

I have stopped working on this in favor of Starfall. It's in the same SVN.

The SVN for v2 is at: https://col32swiremodaddons.googlecode.com/svn/
The home page for it is at: col32swiremodaddons - Project Hosting on Google Code

Wiki page for v2 (being written): Colonel Thirty Two's Wire Addons - GMod Wiki

Function support?!?!?! If I try it and it works you are getting rep+

OH MY GOD THIS WHAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR FOREVER!

Is...Is it real?

Check it out and see

I plan to edit the parser+compiler to support "calling" a variable.

[jacoby6000]

So UDF?!? But is it E2 udf, or do you write the lua of the function in the e2? Either way, AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[somone77]

Your documentation on the functions is, no offence, awful. I can't get the virtualizer to work at all. In the readme you say to use code:<something>, the E2 says that code needs to have () after it, when I do that it says no such function. Can you give an example code for these?

[Colonel Thirty Two]

Okay, here's an example program for the virtualizer:

@persist Code:code
runOnChat(1)

if(chatClk(owner()))
{
    TempCode = virtCompile(lastSaid())
    if(TempCode)
    {
        Code = TempCode
        Code:exec()
    }
    else
    {
        hint(virtLastError(),4)
    }
}

This will try to compile whatever you say in chat. Ex. If I said "entity():setColor(vec(0,0,0))" the chip will turn black. code:<whatever> just means that it is a method of code, like

I'll put this in the readme.

So are the inputs and outputs the same for the virtual code?

[Colonel Thirty Two]

No, you give the inputs to the virtualized program via passing a table to the exec function, and get outputs by calling Code:getOutputs(). Inputs and outputs in virtualized code are defined by the @inputs, ect syntax in the code string.

EDIT: Example static code:

String = "@inputs Stuff:vector \n"+
"entity():applyForce(stuff)"

Code = virtCompile(String)
Args = table()
Args["Stuff",vector] = vec(0,0,1000)
Code:exec(Args)
