flip hook

Say I want to have one of my object functions draw text onto the screen. What's the usage of the flip hook?

go over the tutorial. it gives an example of the flip hook. Getting Started

[Rick]

So what is RunHooks() all about? In the examples on there it's not being called anywhere I can see.

[Josh]

It's used in hooks.lua.

[Rick]

Right, but I assume it actually runs the hooks I have defined, yet in the example I don't see it being called anywhere.

 

[EDIT]

I guess it doesn't need to be. Worked without calling RunHooks() myself.

[Rick]

Can this function also be part of the class itself instead of a global function? I can't seem to get that to work. Not that it's a big deal, but it would just be cleaner.

[TylerH]

I second that.

Also, sorry if I wasn't clear, but I mean I want my custom flip function that I add as a hook to be able to be part of my class object and not outside of it. So like:

 

function class:CreateObject(model)
local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

       function object:MyFlip()
       end

       AddHook("Flip", object:MyFlip)
end
