Can I invoke a custom LUA function from an Alias? If yes, how?

[EmanueleCiriachi]

Under "Scripts" I created an item called "TestMovement" whose body is simply

echo('test')

I have an alias, and I would like to invoke the TestMovement function from it. How can I achieve this?

What you want to do then is make a testMovement() function inside the TestMovement script object. Doesn't matter waht the script object is called in this case, just what you call the function below.

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function testMovement()
  echo("test")
end

and in the alias call

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

testMovement()

... Doesn't matter waht the script object is called in this case, just what you call the function below...

There is one case where the name of the script object is important and that is if one of the functions contained in its scripts is to be an event handler - in that case the name of the function and the name of the script object has to be the same - this is so the event system knows which function to send the event names entered for the script to handle to...
