I noticed in datapack.inc that there's a "WritePackFunction" native but the param says "@param fktptr Function pointer to add."

So how would one go about making a function pointer for the datapack?

/**
* Packs a function pointer into a data pack.
*
* @param pack Handle to the data pack.
* @param fktptr Function pointer to add.
* @noreturn
* @error Invalid handle.
*/
native void WritePackFunction(Handle pack, Function fktptr)

Function variable type is just an index like handle.

you can get it by using like GetFunctionByName().

umm... but that's just for SM 1.7 not an SM 1.6.

i'm not sure 'Function Variable Type' is the same as 1.6 did.

It's just for legacy support, as you can no longer write a function into a pack using WritePackCell (as they no longer coerce to an integer). It's exactly the same as passing the callback to i.e. HookEvent.

I'm a dunce, I don't understand the use case for this. Would I write a function in the .sp and then call that function in the timer using ReadPackFunction?

no, it basically stores the function for whatever you need to use it for and you have to call it with call_startfunction.
