Can You Call A Function Using A Variable

For example

function function()
print("abc")
end
local var = "function"
var()

If there is no way thats fine. Just wanted to know.

Thanks!

Never mind! I found out you can do this

local var = test

function test()
print("abc")
end

pcall(var,...)

What you found is really not the same as you first asked. Basically what you're doing there is this

function test()
  print("abc")
end
pcall(test, ...)

If you were to do this

local var = test

local function test()
  print("abc")
end

pcall(var, ...)

It would not work, have a read of the spoiler in this reply to find out why.

local function something()
 print('hi')
end

local doThat = something

doThat()

Is that what you are looking for?

That is the same thing as this, just with locals
