Let's think about this. I have a list, each item of a list haves a function. Look example:

var
    x = list("myFunction1" = myFunction1());
    
proc/myFunction1() {
    world << "x";
}


Works fine, but the, how do i call the "myFunction1" (The one in the list) so it prints the "x"

You're not creating a "function pointer", you're just setting "MyFunction1" to the value returned by myFunction1(). If you want to dynamically call a function, you need to use the call() process.

teststuff/var
    Functions = list();
    
var
    teststuff/teststuff;
    
    
client/New()
    ..();
    var/teststuff/test/a = new();
    call(a.Functions[1])();
    
teststuff/test
    New()
        world << "I've been created!"
        Functions = list("test" = /teststuff/test/proc/test);
        call(Functions[1])();
    
    proc/test()
        world << "Test"


test() doesn't get called. :/

You want the second format: call(Object,ProcName)(Arguments). That way you can specify the source object.

Also, Functions[1] is equal to the text string "test", not your function path.
