Question

is it possible to do something along the lines of this (in Javascript)

function foo() {
   print("hello Unity");
}

function boo(passedFunction) {
    yield new WaitForSeconds(2) //wait then
    //call passedFunction
}

boo(foo);

thanks in advance,

Chris

Yes, you can do that using the following syntax:

// define your inner function as a named variable
var foo = function() { print("hello Unity"); }

// define your outer function normally
function boo(passedFunction) {
  // call the passed function
  passedFunction();
}

// call the outer function using the named-variable-function
boo(foo);

This is funny, because Unity doesn't allow anonymous functions before version 3.0. Your post though is from back in 2009. So - How the hell did you get that to work?!

.. and when using #pragma strict (eg on Android or iPhone), the data type of a function is Function (eg, use "function boo(passedFunction : Function) {". ( http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/9594/data-type-of-unityscript-function-object.html )
