Triggering a gui control?

I have a GUI controll, his name is Jerry.

Say hi to jerry:

PHP Code:


		
			
new GuiControl("Jerry") {
  x = y = 0;
  width = height = 32;
  
  thiso.catchevent(this, "onAction", "DoStuff");
}

I need to trigger that onAction() function, but not by clicking the control.

I need something along the lines of

PHP Code:


		
			
Jerry.onAction()

But that particular script, does not work.

Neight does Jerry.trigger("Action"); or any variation of that.

Any solutions?

(Note: I need this type of script, not other variations...I can't trigger DoStuff by itself, because I need information from inside that gui control. And in my actual script, I have a multitude of controls like Jerry, but they are dynamically generated. Which is why I need this particular script)

You're already redirecting the event to DoStuff so just make DoStuff public and call it with:

findweapon("-WhereverItIs").DoStuff(Jerry);

You actually don't have to pass Jerry at all but that would mimic the same params as it would receive normally.

Well, I have different types of gui controls.

Some of which have different functions...which is why I was hoping I could trigger the gui control itself.

Because one might trigger 'DoStuff' while the other could trigger 'DoOtherStuff'.

Which is why I was hoping for something along the lines of triggering the gui control....would make like much easier.

Edit: I solved the problem by just using a dynamic function, and storing the function that the gui should trigger within the gui control itself. :P

Well just make a central function that they all use and call the right function based on the object passed.

Usage:

findweapon("-GUI").triggerGUI(Jerry);

PHP Code:


		
			
public function triggerGUI(obj) {

  if (obj == Jerry) {

    DoStuff();

  } else {

    DoOtherStuff();

  }

}
