Lets say you have a function inside a table, in this case ill put it in a module
local module = {}
module.Fire = function()
end
return module
Lets say i do this
module.Fire = nil
Does it remove/garbage collect the function
If you need me to explain more dont hestitate to ask
Yes, it is garbage collected if no other references are pointing to that block of memory because it is an anonymous function (lambda). So the memory block would be stale and eventually garbage collected; but if other things reference that memory block outside of the module then setting it to nil will not garbage collect that anonymous function.
Thanks for your help. You explained better than the last post
