start_script(commmand, who, par)

start_script(commmand, who, par)

to launch text command and pass parameters?

You may already know this but just in case, you use an array of paramaters. Start_Script("script", array{who, par}), and handle it accordingly in your script.

Yes I know but a thing is a generic mode to launch EVERY textcmd command (more flexible) and another is a workaround to launch some textcmd with special parameter handling....

Anymore was a very stupid thing, none special.

The generic method is a better solution, because... well... it's generic.

Rather than alter the way the code works, adding an entire list of useless script launchers, why not just either:

1. Externalize the code you want to launch, and use functions instead of launching another script?
   
   textcmd.src
   

   Code:

   include "textcmd.inc"; program _TextCmd(who, text)     TextCmd(who,text); endprogram

   
   
   textcmd.inc
   

   Code:

   function TextCmd(byref who, text)     // Do stuff. endfunction

   
   
   MyFunctions.src
   

   Code:

   include "textcmd.inc"; program MyProgram(...)     //...     TextCmd(who,text);     //... endprogram

   
   
2. Write your own function so that the parameters are easier for you?
   
   textcmds.inc
   

   Code:

   function LaunchTextCmd(command, byref who, text)     StartScript(command, array{ who, text } ); endfunction function testTCParms( byref first_parm, byref second_parm )     if( TypeOf(first_parm) == "Array" )         second_parm := first_parm[1];         first_parm := first_parm[2];     endif endfunction

   
   
   Every Text Command
   

   Code:

   include "textcmds.inc"; program TextCmd(who, text)     testTCParms(who,text);     // Do textcmd stuff. endprogram

Either way, it'll take a little bit of time; but if it can be done with a script without causing any trouble in performance, it should.
