Creates a class table that can be called to create instances.

Calling the class creates a new object with the class as its metatable and a copy of its fields, runs the base class (if any) and then the constructor, which is the method named after the class. Constructor errors are printed instead of raised. The class gets ClassName and BaseClass fields.

library.NewClass('CItem', _G)

function CItem:CItem(name)
  self.name = name
end

local item = CItem('Crowbar')

Parameters

• strName String Name of the class and of its constructor method
• tParent Map optional, defaults to _G Table the class is stored in
• CExtends Map optional, defaults to nil Base class whose fields are copied into the class metatable

Returns

• Map The class table
