Calling function from attached script

[radekg]

Hello, I'm trying different permutations of how to call function on a field from attached script but to no avail.


field is defined like:

<number_linked name="attribute">
  <source>
    <name>attributes.dexterity.user</name>
    <op>+</op>
  </source>                
</number_linked >

number_linked has script "number_linked.lua" attached from CoreRPG. It works great on its own.

What I need to do is to add another source from lua script from "completely" different part of ruleset. number_linked.lua has function "AddSourceWithOp" defined. So I try do something like:

window.getDatabaseNode().getChild("attribute").addSourceWithOp("attributes.strength.step", "+");

It does not allow that with message

attempt to call field 'addSourceWithOp' (a nil value)

I have no idea how can I achieve this. Help?

In fact this was elemental, if you think about it. Value you get from DB is just that - a value. Script is attached to control. So, instead of trying to run function on value for few hours (like an idiot), I should have run it on the control with code like:

window.attribute.addSourceWithOp("attributes.strength.step", "+");

Ofcourse, this cannot be "completely different" place, and you have to have access path to this control. (You could also create window and controls etc. but this is nonsense, I fear)
