Function definition in child script

[horothesun]

Hi all! I'm new to this amazing simulator and i have a pretty newbie question to ask:

how can i define (then call) my own Lua functions in a child script?

"-- DO NOT WRITE CODE OUTSIDE OF THE if-then-end SECTIONS BELOW!!" blocked me :(

TIA,
Nicola.

Hello Nicola,

actually you can write code outside of the mentioned section, as long as the code represents a function.

So following is a valid child script:

Code: Select all

myFunction=function(a,b)
	return a+b
end

if (sim_call_type==sim_childscriptcall_initialization) then

end


if (sim_call_type==sim_childscriptcall_actuation) then
	print(myFunction(1,2))
end


if (sim_call_type==sim_childscriptcall_sensing) then

end


if (sim_call_type==sim_childscriptcall_cleanup) then

end

Cheers
