[Resolved] Aliasing of a Module

[vgvgf]

I have problems when aliasing modules methods like: Module.method(For example: Input.press? or Audio.bgm_play)
I try something like:

module Input
  alias aliasing_input_press Input.press?
  def Input.press?(args)
    aliasing_input_press(args)
  end
end

That throws me a Syntax Error on the line: "alias aliasing_input_press Input.press?"
And if I do:

module Input
  alias aliasing_input_press press?
  def press?(args) # or def Input. press?
    aliasing_input_press(args)
  end
end

It throw me an "no method press? for Input::Module" error.
And:

module Input
  alias_method(aliasing_input_press, Input.press?)
  def Input.press?
    aliasing_input_press(args)
  end
end

Throws me a Syntax error.
What shall I do?

In the second example, try replacing press? with self.press?. Do it to both press? after the alias and in the name. If that doesn't work, make it alias press?, but keep the method name self.press?

Hope that helps, if not, then sorry.

module YourModuleName
  class << self
    if @yourname_scriptname_stack.nil?
      alias_method :yournewmethodname, :yourmethodname
      @yourname_scriptname_stack = true
    end
    def yourmethodname
      # blah
      yournewmethodname
      # blah
    end
  end
end

Something like that is I believe what you are looking for.

should be this:

module Input
  class << self
  alias_method :aliasing_input_press :press?
  def press?(*args)
    aliasing_input_press(args)
  end
  end
end

and thanks seph, I was needing it, too.

It's a hidden class, Slipknot, so you need the

if @yourname_scriptname_stack.nil?

block to prevente Stack errors when pressing F12.
