Script starting values

[Gonar]

Hi eb
I am preferring the creation of libraries, except when i want one script to rule them all, cause at libraries you can add some argument information and put some starting values. Is there any way to put starting values and information at DnD icon of "Execute a script"? like when you select from the list your script, you put some starting values at "Execute the script" windows while you show some info about them. The information and starting values would be put at the start of the script.

We've had this suggestion before but nobody has any ideas on how to do it, and we are a little pressed for time.

I will try to suggest a practical idea (maybe, its a 30sec brain function ) that you dont need change resources. (Also random values putted at example)
At cmbScript_click (the combobox that list the scripts) you can put some code to check the scripts starting lines and if it meets something like:
<arguments/>
argument0 = "Object","-1"
argument1 = "X","100"
argument2 = "Y","100"
argument3 = "Direction","90"
argument4 = "Speed","4"
argument5 = "Gravity","0"
</arguments>

Put at labels of the "Execute Script" window, that write argument0,argument1,... ,the 1st "" of its line, like "Object","X","Y","Direction",...
Then check if the TextBox that handle the user input of its one argument values, for being "", and if it is, change the value to the 2nd "" of the argument line, like "-1","100","100",...

Also put the cmbScripts_click called at each "Execute Script" window load, so even if someone doubleclick the DnD icon for edit or something, do a recheck.

I know that it isnt the best idea, but its a fast suggestion that use the "execute script" window resources. i dont know if this is a help.

Also sorry for my english and for my programming logic

Well on the bright side, LateralGM is open source, you can easily change anything in it if you are experienced with Java.

You shouldn't at all be afraid, Java is one of the easiest programming languages to learn, and one of the most powerful, it is a great solution for making software that works on different operating systems.
