Make a remote call - ie. call a function within another component

component.call{}

• The interface is table in, anything out. Only the first returned argument is captured, so to return multiple values a table must be used.

• the target component must be running

  Code Block
  -- this function is in the target component function doSomething(T) return T.token .. " world", 1, {foo="bar"} end -- this function is in the caller component function makeRemoteCall() local CallData = {} CallData["token"] = "hello" local R, _num, _T = component.call{id=”guid”, data=CallData, func=”doSomething”} trace(R) -- "hello world" trace(_num) -- 1 trace(_T) -- {"foo":"bar"} end
