Question about scheduleFunction() syntax

[Pizzicato]

I was just playing around with a very simple script to remove a group when it reaches a certain point.

 

It works just fine if I use either of the following:

 

local group = ...

Group.destroy(group)

 

local group = ...

group:destroy()

 

... but the script silently fails if I try to accomplish the same thing with a minor delay via the timer.scheduleFunction() method:

 

local group = ...

timer.scheduleFunction(Group.destroy, {group}, timer.getTime() + 5)

 

I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious, but I can't figure out where/how the syntax is wrong.

I also tried this (very redundant) test to see if defining the function within the script worked:

 

local group = ...

 

function destroyGroup( groupToDestroy )

Group.destroy( groupToDestroy)

end

 

timer.scheduleFunction(destroyGroup, {group}, timer.getTime() + 5)

Never mind - I figured it out. I just needed to unpack the table passed by scheduleFunction() in order to get at the 'group' table.
