example

PHP Code:

void DoThis(Function(), int value)
{
    //stuff
}
int Function()
{
    //stuff
} 


I know you can do this in C/C++ using pointers but is there way to do this in Pawn in any way?

I don't know if you can write it as easily as C/Cpp

However you can look though the "functions" section of https://sm.alliedmods.net/api/

I use it and it works great, although calling a function using this must be done carefully.

so would I do this?....

PHP Code:

public void DoThis(Function func, int value)
{
    //blah blah stuff with func function.
}

In pawn:

PHP Code:

functag myFunction _:public(value);

stock DoThis(myFunction:func, value)
{
    decl result;
    
    Call_StartFunction(INVALID_HANDLE, func);
    Call_PushCell(value);
    Call_Finish(result);
    
    // return result;
}

That's a private forward :\
I guess it'll have to do then, thx!

[h3bus]

Yup, don't know if this possible to do this in a more native way.
I tried, I failed.

[nergal]

how does this look?

PHP Code:

functag AbilityFunction void public();

    public void UseThis(AbilityFunction func)
    {
        Call_StartFunction(INVALID_HANDLE, func);
        Call_Finish();
    }

It should work, however I was not aware that "void" existed in pawn. Does it?

new transitional syntax.

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=244092

To compile new syntax, use this...

PHP Code:

#pragma newdecls optional

Be aware that functag and funcenum don't exist in the new syntax... you need to look up what replaced them and use that instead.
Edit: typedef replaced functag and union replaced funcenum.

Speaking of which, I was going to work on passing a data arg to menus in the 1.7 core... I wonder if the AM team moved the menu code yet so I can start modifying them.
