This function allow to import functions from other scripts. Author: CrosRoad95 Contact skype: CrosRoad5

Requirements

OOP turn on

Code

importer={}
importer.__index = importer
function importer:import(functionsToImport)
	assert(functionsToImport:len()>0,"specify what you want to import")
	local impr = {}
	setmetatable(impr,importer)
	impr.scripts=functionsToImport
	return impr
end
function importer:from(script)
	local res=getResourceFromName(script)
	assert(res,"script doesnt exists")
	local functions=res:getExportedFunctions()
	assert(#functions>0,"script must contain exports")
	local importThis={}
	if(self.scripts=="*")then
		importThis=functions
	else
		local tbsplit=split(self.scripts,",")
		for i,v in ipairs(functions)do
			for ii,vv in ipairs(tbsplit)do
				if(string.find(v,vv))then
					table.insert(importThis,v)
				end
			end
		end
	end
	for i,v in ipairs(importThis)do
		_G[v]=function(...)
			return call(res,v,...)
		end
	end
end
function import(...)
	return importer:import(...)
end

Example 1

Import specified functions

import("function1,function2"):from("myScript") -- import functions "function1" and "function2" from script "myScript"
-- now "function1()" is same as "exports.myScript:function()"
function1("test")

Example 2

Import function which contain string

import("function,otherFunctions"):from("myScript") -- import functions contain "function" in name, in this example import "function1" and "function2" from script "myScript"
function1("test")

Example 3

Import all functions

import("*"):from("myScript") -- import all functions, in this example import "function1" and "function2" from script "myScript"
function1("test")
