KSP: Expand function calls - call ui_control callbacks as if they're functions!

Let's say we would like to remotely process what happens when we press a button, INCLUDING the press of that button. I'm not sure regular function calls could be used in such manner.

Basically, this feature would make ALL ui_control callbacks available as functions to call when needed. The difference would be in syntax, it should be called with:

call callback $<callback name>



Do scripters find this useful?

 

I think a more generic use of the above is the ability to have code generated events rather than just responding to user input. So, in the example above, the button call back would be allowed to generate another event resulting in another call back if required. Does that make sense?

 

But which callback would be generated? Would I have to type it up again?

The meaning of this request is to "press" the button and run through its callback from a different callback. To do this now you have to copy the code in both places, or use the same function in both places, which is not really the way to go, IMO.

 

On reading your original post again, I think we are actually talking about the same thing .. sorry for the confusion ..

edit: I think it would be VERY useful

 

Why is that a problem?

 

Hm. Dunno. The idea just crossed my mind.
