Function Manipulation

Create new functions based on existing functions...

Overview

These features allow you to create new functions based on existing functions:

function.curry()– pre-define parameters for an existing function
function.wraps()– wrap one function in another function

An example of using both in relation to Warzone scripting is shown below:

Example

// create isMyAlly() function by pre-specifying 'me' as a param
// on JS API's allaianceExistsBetween() function...
var isMyAlly = allianceExistsBetween.curry(me);
 
// create a wrapper function...
var NOT = function(bool) {
	return !bool;
}
 
// create isMyEnemy() by wrapping isMyAlly() with the NOT() function...
var isMyEnemy = NOT.wraps(isMyAlly);
 
for (player = 0; player < maxPlayers; player++) {
	if (player == me) continue; // ignore me
 
	if (isMyAlly(player)) {
		// do nice stuff to ally
	}
 
	if (isMyEnemy(player)) {
		// do nasty stuff to enemy
    }
}
