How to declare a method that uses a colon?

[maikawk]

I am using a Lua 5.1 compiler which has several native objects that have methods that use colons. for example

local value = nativeObject:GenerateValue("someParameter")

So I would like to do this in urn:

(define value (GenerateValue "someParameter"))

But I don't know exactly how to do it. try to create a nativeObject.lisp file with this:

(define-native someParameter)

but I don't know what your meta file should look like.

The self method can be used to call functions in a self-call (i.e. with a colon):

So your first example would become:

(with (value (self nativeObject :GenerateValue "someParameter"))
  ;; ...

I'm afraid I don't follow the other two code blocks - not sure what you're trying to demonstrate there.
