Exports

You can export functions from a resource so that other resources can call them.

Create exported function

First you have to make sure to define your function globally in your script:

Lua

function testExportFunc(arg1, arg2)
    Console.Log("testExportFunc called: " .. arg1 .. ", " .. arg2)
    return 400, 800
end

Squirrel

function testExportFunc(arg1, arg2)
{
    Console.Log("testExportFunc called: " + arg1 + ", " + arg2);
    return 400;
}

Define exported function

You will then need to define it in the meta file of your resource:

Lua

<meta type="lua">
	<script type="server" src="server.lua" />
	<export type="server" function="testExportFunc" />
</meta>

Squirrel

<meta type="squirrel">
	<script type="server" src="server.nut" />
	<export type="server" function="testExportFunc" />
</meta>

Call exported function

You can then call the function in several ways in any other resource:

Lua

local res1, res2 = Resource.Call("exporttest", "testExportFunc", { 8, 16 })
Console.Log("Result of testExportFunc: " .. res1 .. ", " .. res2)

res1, res2 = exports.exporttest:testExportFunc(8, 16)
Console.Log("Result of testExportFunc: " .. res1 .. ", " .. res2)

res1, res2 = exports["exporttest"]:testExportFunc(8, 16)
Console.Log("Result of testExportFunc: " .. res1 .. ", " .. res2)

Squirrel

local res = Resource.Call("exporttest", "testExportFunc", [ 8, 16 ]);
Console.Log("Result of testExportFunc: " + res);

res = exports.exporttest.testExportFunc(8, 16);
Console.Log("Result of testExportFunc: " + res);

res = exports["exporttest"].testExportFunc(8, 16);
Console.Log("Result of testExportFunc: " + res);
