N00b question

Chuckmist3r · 08-02-2010, 11:09 AM

I have used these forums without being a member for awhile now, and finally I found something that I really need help on and can't find it mentioned anywhere.

I want to know if it is possible to use the line

Code:

[self performSelector:@selector(path5) withObject:nil];

with "path5" being a NSString of the method name. I only want to do this to save space, because my game is running about 314MB right now, and would prefer not to get much bigger.

Is this possible? and if so could you please explain how this is done, I have tried multiple variations of the code and can not get it to work.

Thank you in advance,
Charles

I believe there is a method NSSelectorFromString

Code:

SEL sel = NSSelectorFromString(@"myMethod");

Yes, I tried that and for some reason it gave me an error, but after looking back through my code, I realized I had declared my path5 string to the wrong method, so Thank You very much for the help, it works now.
