How do I call a private function within a postpatch about harmonyx HOT 8 CLOSED

Nevermind, I figured it out! The code doesn't work, but I know how to do it!

This is a general C# question, not a Harmony/BepInEx question. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/reflection-and-codedom/reflection and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/135443/how-do-i-use-reflection-to-invoke-a-private-method

I saw this when I 1st looked the problem up, have absolutely NO idea how to use it. What would I most likely replace this with? Would it be the script name I patched? (Example: [HarmonyPatch(typeof(Revolver), "Update")] (Putting Revolver instead of THIS is my best guess, but doesn't work) This is probably very important to learn, do you know?

Original code for reference: MethodInfo dynMethod = this.GetType().GetMethod("Draw_" + itemType, BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); dynMethod.Invoke(this, new object[] { methodParams });

I probably should have mentioned: The function is inside of the Revolver script where I'm patching Update.

Normally, when I make games with unity, you can call private functions as long as they're defined in the same script they're called in. I read through the reflection help guide, and everyone's saying to avoid reflections at all costs. It can't be this hard, right? Is there any other way, like editing the function to be public and hoping it doesn't break anything?

this would be __instance

I'll ask the lethal company discord, they're always helpful, but this puts me a step in the right direction! Thank you!

Wait actually I have another question. How would I get ___Instance? Do I have to ref Script ___instance or is it automatic?
