Calls to function Lua

[rencro]

I see many of the new quest written in lua are using what looks like calls to other functions within functions, for example, in guktop, croc_spawns makes a call from event_spawn to croc_spawns();

I cant get this behavior to work on either my windows or linux boxes, here is my test quest I tried when I ran into trouble:

function event_spawn(e)
	e.self:SetRunning(true);
	e.self:Shout("HELLO!!!");
	croc_spawn();
end

function event_say(e)
	if(e.message:findi("hail")) then
		e.self:Say("This works.");
	end
end

function event_waypoint_arrive(e)
	if(e.wp == 1) then
		e.self:Shout("Im at waypoint 2!!");
	end
end

function croc_spawn()
	e.self:Shout("Hi there welcome to Kmart");
end

When mob spawns I get the initial shout, then croc_spawn is not processed, then when mob arrives at wp 1 I get the shout, also, if I put in an event such as a shout in the event_spawn AFTER calling for croc_spawn, that does not process either, so, how does this work? Assuming these are working on peq maybe im missing something in my setup??

e does not exist in croc_spawn

You need to pass it if you are going to use it.

function event_spawn(e)
    croc_spawn(e);
end

function croc_spawn(e)
    e.self:Shout("hey!");
end

Thanks, that fixed this test script and my actual spawning script

-- abe the abandoned custom

function event_spawn(e)
	e.self:SetRunning(true);
end

function event_say(e)
	if(e.message:findi("hail")) then
		e.self:Say("Lets just get this done.");
	end
end

function event_waypoint_arrive(e)
	
	if(e.wp == 1) then
		eq.unique_spawn(98051,14,0,661.77,-1774.69,3.78,78.5); -- spawns dillon
	elseif(e.wp == 2) then
		e.self:Emote("runs up besides you");
		e.self:SetRunning(false);
	elseif(e.wp == 3) then
		e.self:Emote("grabs a long bamboo pole from the hut.");
		eq.signal(98036,1,5000);
	elseif(e.wp == 4) then
		e.self:Say("Ok, I'm going to use this stick to knock down the ripe fruit, be ready to pick up any that fall to the ground, only the ripe ones will fall.");
	elseif(e.wp == 5 or e.wp == 7 or e.wp == 9) then
		e.self:Emote(eq.ChooseRandom("bangs his bamboo stick against the branches in the upper part of the tree.","raises his stick into the branches"));
	elseif(e.wp == 6) then
		e.self:Say("I see a couple dropping now, grab them up!");
		eq.create_ground_object(30619, 993.07, -1533.8, 34.59, 0, 30000);

	elseif(e.wp == 8 or e.wp == 10) then

A blatant plagarism of existing quests, no credits intended for me..
