Question

In one file, I have the following code:

module( "command" )

local Commands = { }

function Add( cmd, funccallback )
  print(cmd)    
  Commands[ cmd ] = funccallback
end

Add("internal", function ( ) end )

in another I have the following:

command:Add("external", function( ) end )

this results in the following output:

>internal
>table: a008247

Why is the argument interpreted as an table in the second case?

Answer 1

Because you called it with : instead of .. When you call something like this:

command:Add(...)

That is syntactical sugar for:

command.Add(command, ...);

You probably meant command.Add.
