As stated above, This is the main way to call a function



But you can also declair a Function as a Constant allthough this does not always work if Additional Paramiters are required.



This 2nd example turns a Function into a Constant so you dont need Brackets, Theres a better example of this HERE where i use this method to make several commands from 1 function.

You can "code" functions using Lua (2 or 3 plugins available, paid and free). With Lua you can construct your command as a string, then call it. Thus, functions aren't set in stone.
