Caveats

CK Wiki - Notes

  • If the function name doesn't exist, the function will error. You may want to check for the existence of the mod you want to talk to before using this.
  • The parameter types must match exactly. You cannot insert a float into the param array if the function expects an int, or a Actor if the function expects an ObjectReference. Normally the compiler would do these casts for you in a normal function call, but it doesn't know what the parameters are, so it is your responsibility to match them up.
  • Optional parameters (i.e. parameters with default values in the function declaration) must be supplied with a value.
  • The compiler cannot check the function name or parameters for you, so make sure to triple check everything!

Parameters

stringasFuncName

CK Wiki Description

The name of the function to call

var[]aParams

CK Wiki Description

The list of parameters to pass


Examples

; Call "int Function NumberOfInfections()" on script "CommonCold" and make a choice based on the return value
; We use CastAs to make sure we don't depend on the script we want to call the function on
ScriptObject coldScript = FormFromOtherMod.CastAs("CommonCold")
Var result = coldScript.CallFunction("NumberOfInfections", new Var[0])
int count = result as int
if (count > 10000)
  Debug.Trace("Someone should probably make some chicken soup...")
endIf
; Call "Function Infect(Form aTarget)" on script "CommonCold"
; We use CastAs to make sure we don't depend on the script we want to call the function on
ScriptObject coldScript = FormFromOtherMod.CastAs("CommonCold")
Var[] params = new Var[1]
params[0] = Game.GetPlayer() as Form ; Must cast as form by hand, even though actor is derived from form
coldScript.CallFunction("Infect", params)

Auto-Generated Example

string myString__asFuncName
var[] myVarArray__aParams

var returnedValue = myScriptObject__toCallFunctionOn.CallFunction(myString__asFuncName, myVarArray__aParams)
