Yep exactly as JustSid said, but here's an example with that:

usage of "this"

Why use a string instead of a direct function pointer?

Was having problems running that, and copying a string name is easier to do from an external setup (think textfiles etc) then a direct function name... You can obviously change it to your own personal liking, but to me this was easiest

regards,

engine_getscript is dirty, calling the function from the structure is what we want.

spot->function();

But when using a dummy function inbetween that passes the object as "this", you can't give other parameters.

Well, actually you can. The trick is called variadic functions which are sadly not available in Lite-C. However, you can use a DLL for this stuff and everything is fine.

I tried something like this already with Lite-ObjectiveC but no one was interested in this so there is no Lite-C version anymore.

Interesting thread. This would be my try:

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Some Prototypes
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
void delegate(void); // Simple void function
#define CALL(this, func) delegate = this.aFunc; delegate()

void delegate1(int x); // Void function with int argument
#define CALL1(this, func, arg) delegate1 = this.aFunc; delegate1(arg)

int delegate2(int x); // Int function with int argument
#define CALL2(retVal, this, func, arg) delegate2 = this.aFunc; retVal = delegate2(arg)

// Expand this here ...

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Some Functions
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
void func1() // A simple void function
{
printf("Hallo world!");
}

void func2(int x) // A void function which process an argument
{
printf("Result = %d", x);
}

int func3(int x) // A function which process an argument and returns a result
{
return x * 2;
}

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A structure with a function member
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef struct
{
int a,b;
long aFunc; // Simply use a long integer to store the function address
} AStruct;

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Use it
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
void main()
{
AStruct obj[3]; // 3 Instances

obj[0].aFunc = func1; // Obj 0 gets a simple void function
CALL(obj[0], aFunc);

obj[1].aFunc = func2; // Obj 1 gets a void function which process an argument
CALL1(obj[1], aFunc, 42);

obj[2].aFunc = func3; // Obj 2 gets a function which process an argument and returns a result
CALL2(int retVal, obj[2], aFunc, 42);
printf("retVal = %d", retVal);
}
