Boolexpr in structs [vJass]

Hi everyone.

This question is pretty simple, I want to create a boolexpr from a struct method, is that possible? Example:

JASS:

struct MyStruct
    method MyStructFilter takes nothing returns boolean
        returns true
    endmethod
    static method create takes nothing returns MyStruct
        local MyStruct ms = MyStruct.allocate()
        local boolexpr b = Filter(function ms.MyStructFilter)
        // ...
        return ms
    endmethod
endstruct

Or:

JASS:

struct MyStruct
    method MyStructFilter takes nothing returns boolean
        returns true
    endmethod
    method MakeBoolExpr takes nothing returns nothing
        local boolexpr b = Filter(function .MyStructFilter)
    endmethod
endstruct

I know that these examples don't work and that the sintax is wrong, I just want you to see what I want to do.

So, any ideas? I know I can make a function outside a struct that will be used by that boolexpr, I'm just asking if it's possible to make a "methody" one.

rain9441	static keyword is your friend. make MyStructFilter static and it'll all work as you desire. Keep in mind this will not be accessible.

Kewl.......but what keyword should I put? Method? Function?

JASS:

struct MyStruct
    static method MyStructFilter takes nothing returns boolean
        returns true
    endmethod
    static method create takes nothing returns MyStruct
        local MyStruct ms = MyStruct.allocate()
        local boolexpr b = Filter(method MyStruct.MyStructFilter)
        // ...
        return ms
    endmethod
endstruct

Like that?

Huh, what do you mean by that?

rain9441	The keyword 'this' wont be acceptable. You won't be able to use this.MyVariable (unless MyVariable is also static) inside your MyStructFilter function.
