## Functions (2)

### `call_script_function(script_name, function_name, pattern, return_type_string, args_)`

Calls a script function with the given arguments. Returns the return value as the given type.

- **Parameters:**
  - `script_name` (string): Name of the script.
  - `function_name` (string): Name of the function. This parameter needs to be unique.
  - `pattern` (string): Pattern to scan for within the script.

  - `_args` (table): Arguments to pass to the function. Supported types are the same as return types.

**Example Usage:**
```lua
local value = scr_function.call_script_function("freemode", "wear_sunglasses_at_night", "69 42 06 66", "bool", {
  { "int", 69 },
  { "float", 4.20 },
  { "int", 666 }
})
```

### `call_script_function(script_name, instruction_pointer, return_type_string, args_)`
