Passing parameters to/from a script.

[stabby_dave]

Hi.

I'm writing a script (lets call it "ModuleFitted")to be used for ED as a callable object by other scripts. The script will be used in the format: "if ModuleFitted then...". You pass it a parameter ie "docking computer" and, if fitted, it'll return a value of true, else false.

I've got the code already written and I know how to pass the parameter to the script, but how do I get a true/false value back from it? All I can think of is to have the script set a global bool to show the result. It'll work, but ideally, I'd like it to pass the parameter back directly.

Is this even possible? If so, how do I do it?

Cheers.

"script"? Are you referring to a VoiceAttack command?

If you're using the "Execute Another Command" action to call that command as if it were a function, you can use command-shared scope variables (prefixed with ">>") to return any values you need, as they will be available in the calling command, provided you enable the "Wait until this command completes before continuing" option for that action.

Yes, it's a VoiceAttack command.

Command scoped variables are my fallback position. If I use them, the syntax would be along the lines of "call command", then "check result". If I can get the called command to pass it back, either directly or by reference, I can do "if 'command' = true". That's (for me) is a more preferable way of doing it, but if it isn't possible, then at least I can still do what I intended.

Commands can't directly return a value in that sense, no.

Ok. Thought that might be the case.

Thanks for the help.
