fireMonoMethod

--- Execute mono method from LUA, uses first found instance if inst = 0
-- Based on: https://opencheattables.com/viewtopic.php?t=475
-- EX: valueReturned = fireMonoMethod("SaveManager", "get_playerData", {100, true})
-- fireMonoMethod( className: string OR number, methodName: string OR number, instance: number, args: table{any} )
-- @param className: name (string) or id (number) of the class containing the method
-- @param methodName: name (string) or id (number) of the method to execute
-- @param instance: address of the class instance to execute from/on
-- @param args: table of arguments to the method
-- @return Result of invoking the method
