This very simple library just wraps CallRemoteFunction, to generate all the specifiers for you and check that the parameters are correct at compile-time.? This code compiles but doesn't work:

// FS

forward FunctionInFilterscript(a, b[]);



public FunctionInFilterscript(a, b[])

{

}



// GM

main()

{

____// Incorrect parameters, but no warning.

____CallRemoteFunction("FunctionInFilterscript", "ii", 0, 42);



____// Name spelt incorrectly, but no warning.

____CallRemoteFunction("FunctionInFilterScript", "is", 0, "hello");

}

This code gives an error:

// FS

remote FunctionInFilterscript(a, string:b[])

{

}



// GM

remote FunctionInFilterscript(a, string:b[]);



main()

{

____// Type mismatch error.

____call FunctionInFilterscript(0, 42);



____// Undefined symbol error.

____call FunctionInFilterScript(0, "hello");

}

That's very useful for spotting bugs early.
