[Solved] Chaining Original Function

[zetake]

How do you currently chain original function?

 

Because this:

AddComponentPostInit("resurrectable", function(self, inst)
    local _CanResurrect = self.CanResurrect
    self.CanResurrect = function(self, cause)
        _CanResurrect(self, cause)
    end

    local _FindClosestResurrector = self.FindClosestResurrector
    self.FindClosestResurrector = function(self, cause)
        _FindClosestResurrector(self, cause)
    end

    local _DoResurrect = self.DoResurrect
    self.DoResurrect = function(self, res, cause)
        _DoResurrect(self, res, cause)
    end
end)

Doesn't work for me.

 

I've tried AddComponentPostInit and AddClassPostConstruct.

And modifications do works, but they doesn't chain original functions.

So my mod is worthless in this case.

It's missing the handling of return parameters.  I wrote a thing a little bit back showing the boilerplate for function hooking here:

So I didn't return value returned by original function.

Thanks, now it works.

 

Ah, I see.

If a function has a return, you not only have to call original function,

but you also have to return value returned by that original function or post edited value of it.

 

Because original function is meant to return value to wherever it was called from,

but after modification it return value to your modified function instead,

and your modified function doesn't pass it on, by default.

So, if you don't return it like me, it will fail for you also.
