Pass class limiter as parameter to a function

Post by PrinceOfFunky »

Spoiler
This code is compiled fine:

Code: Select all

//Return:
//-1 - if firstClass is not relationed to secondClass.
//0 - if firstClass is the same class of secondClass.
//1 - if firstClass is child of secondClass;
//2 - if firstClass is parent of secondClass;
static final function int classIsRelatedWith(class firstClass, class secondClass, optional bool bNoSubClass) {
	if (firstClass == secondClass)
		return 0;
	
	if (!bNoSubClass) {
		if (classIsChildOf(firstClass, secondClass))
			return 1;
		else if (classIsChildOf(secondClass, firstClass))
			return 2;
	}
	
	return -1;
}
But this one:

Code: Select all

if (classIsRelatedWith(newInvClass, aClass) >= 0)
where aClass is surely a class, and newInvClass is defined as:

Code: Select all

local class<Inventory> newInvClass;
newInvClass = class<Inventory>(DynamicLoadObject(invClass, class'Inventory'));
(edit: invClass is a String)
makes the compiler throw this error:

Code: Select all

Error, Bad or missing expression in 'If'
or this error if I add a check in the parenthesis:

Code: Select all

Error, Bad or missing expression in parenthesis
Failed due to errors.
What's the problem with it? I don't often use class limiters.
EDIT: Ok I got it, it was a problem with "static", I was calling "classIsRelatedWith()" which is a static function using ClassName.static.function(), instead of reference.static.function().
I guess this topic can be closed then .o.
