    In your simple timer, how would you handle local functions being passed to it, instead of globals?

    For example if I do: SimpleTimingLib_Schedule(5, print, "Some message") it works fine and prints the message in 5 seconds.

    However if I write a function called "MyProgressMeter(val1, val2)" and try this:

     SimpleTimingLib_Schedule(10, MyProgressMeter(val1, val2))

    It fails, and val.func = nil when the 10 seconds comes around. Also, MyProgressMeter executes right away as well.

    How would I pass my own functions into the scheduler instead of standardized functions like print?

    Thanks

    I'm not really sure what you're referring to. Chapter 4 doesn't contain any library called SimpleTiming, so I'm a but confused.

    From what I can see, it looks like the SimpleTimingLib_Schedule takes in a time, a function and a list of arguments to be passed. In this case, you'd want to do something like this:

    SimpleTimingLib_Schedule(10, MyProgressMeter, val1, val2)

    Does that make sense?

    It appears that you're referring to another book about writing WoW addons. I'll do my best to help you fix your errors, but I'm a bit limited since I'm not the author of the book. Thanks!

    Yes, I'm retarded, I posted this on the wrong forum. Too many damn programming windows open, sorry bout that.
