Underscores in function names

[Zo Kath Ra]

Put this code inside a script entity:

Code: Select all

function test_me()
	hudPrint("test")
end

When I point a connector at the script entity, the function doesn't show up in the connector's drop-down menu.
Is there a reason for this?

A common convention in Lua is to begin "private" function names with underscores, like "_myFunction", to imitate class encapsulation without actually enforcing it (since actually enforcing it takes some work and has a performance cost). To help with this, any function containing an underscore is not shown in the dropdown menu for connector actions. I suggest using camelCase for your function and variable names and reserving underscores for the aforementioned purpose.
