Dependencies

CFC Waiter

Helper functions in util.lua

• cfcToolBalance.clampFunction( func, min_max_values )

  Takes a function and a list of min max values, returning a new function that when called clamps each argument before calling the original function. If a table with no min and max keys is used the argument will not be clamped.

  example:

  cfcToolBalance.clampFunction( func, { {min=0, max=10}, {}, {min=10, max=20} })

• cfcToolBalance.clampMethod( func, min_max_values )

  Does the same thing as clampFunction but ignores the first argument. Used to ignore self in methods

• cfcToolBalance.callAfter( func, afterFunc )

  returns a new function that calls afterFunc after calling func. The new function will return the value returned by func
