[Help]Call/Execute commands from a table

[Snooze]

Hey Guys ..

My mission is to put all commands in a table like this:

tCmds = {
	["Master"] = {
		["test"] = "DoTest",
		["test2"] = "DoTest2",
		["test3"] = "DoTest3",
		}
	}
}

where ["Master"] is GetProfileName(user.iProfile) and ["test"] is the command written - "DoTest" is the command executed..

The problem is "DoTest" is returned as tring :(

Any help will be appreciated..

here's one of my old bots, which isn't exactly what you ask for, "very chaotic" =], but may help.

Dunno if this works, but this is how I would do it.

tCmds = {
	["Master"] = {
		["test"] = {DoTest, {param1,param2,param3}} -- an array with the function and a nested array with function params - f(a,b,c)
		["test2"] = {DoTest2,{}}
		["test3"] = {DoTest3,{param}}
		}
	}
}

-- and you just do:

return tCmds["Master"]["test"][1](unpack(tCmds["Master"]["test"][2]))

Thanks bastya_elvtars!

It looks like what i need, though im having a hard time creating a working example.. Could i get you to create one small example for me ?

In order 2 make others learn, I post the result here. No warranties! :)
