I have a scripted object that I need to "communicate" with the current mission. I need the object to call a function of the mission it's in. I tried ActivityMan:GetActivity:[function](); but it doesn't work. Is there a simple way to do this?

Err. GetActivity is a function.
Add some parens.
ActivityMan:GetActivity():[function]();

That should work.

Whoops, I did that, I just typed it in wrong in the OP.

Two other things that might affect this:

-I'm not trying to do functions like SetTeamFunds, I'm doing functions defined in the lua for the mission. Do I need to do something else to get the class for my mission? (E.G. Is the class returned by GetActivity() different than my mission's Lua class?)
-I am also doing this instead of directly doing GetActivity() each time: (Though I don't think it would matter...)

You want to call the function by the activity's Lua name. So, for instance, if this is your Update function:

Call it in the console like so:

It's such a simple thing and it's sitting there right in front of your nose, but it took me a good half hour of trial and error to figure his one out when I was trying to do it

Thanks!
