Simple question; how do you create a function that gets an argument with a method? IE being able to pass it like [lua]x:F()[/lua] instead of like [lua]F(x)[/lua]
I'm pretty sure you do it just as you did with the first code snippet. You would then use self to access the argument.

I didn't get any of that
Are you saying I can just do
[lua]
function x:F()
//doshitwithXhere
end
[/lua]
and be able to call my function like
[lua]
x:F()
[/lua]
?
Alright, say you have just created a variable. For these purposes I'm just going to make a table with a few strings.
[lua]local x = {"This", "is", "a", "table"}[/lua]
Now you want to use this table and pass it to another function which has previously been created.
[lua]function x:F()
PrintTable(self)
end[/lua]
I'm not entirely sure if this what you're asking at this point, but you could do something like x:F() and call the function passing x as the first argument.
EDIT: Yeah, you got to it before me. Yes, pretty much.

That works, danke schön
For the reference, you can use methods on any table or table based type.
[lua]local t = {}
function t:What()
end
local t = _R.Player
function t:What()
end[/lua]
Both are valid.
