It's me again with newbie questions/requests.
I'm wondering if is there anyone who can explain in the simples possible way how to correctly use "self" in functions and mighty Colon.

I readed bunch of guides, tried to do it myself but it seems I didnt get it well.

 t = {}

function t:func(x, y)
  self.x = x
  self.y = y
end

t:func(1, 1)
print(t.x) -- 1

function t.func(self, x, y)
  self.x = x
  self.y = y
end

t.func(t, 1, 1)

Very easy. You almost need nothing to do self and use : operator. Just declaring the table

Lua gives us a neat piece of syntactic sugar for calling and defining functions. When you have a function inside a table, you can do stuff like this:

Code: Select all

t = {}

function t:func(x, y)
  self.x = x
  self.y = y
end

t:func(1, 1)
print(t.x) -- 1

The definition and call translate to:

Code: Select all

function t.func(self, x, y)
  self.x = x
  self.y = y
end

t.func(t, 1, 1)
