(Is there a way to send Variables to a Script) - Game Maker Studio 2 - GML

  • 772

In other languages ​​when you work with a function, it is written...

public void funcion_ejemplo(int variable1, int variable2){
  // la función trabaja con las vaiables que reciba
}

So when I want to use this function I would call it and send it data, like this:

funcion_ejemplo(12,5);

In this way I send variables to this function so that it is executed with different variables.

Now at GameMaker we have the Scripts, which we call:

Create_bomba();

enter image description here

. Is there a way to send variables to this script? . In case you don't find a way, I was thinking of creating global variables, and that the scripts use these global variables

funciones

    The case of scripts is similar to functions... but not the same.

    As stated in the documentation , scripts can take arguments:

    When you create a script the values ​​that you choose to pass into it are called arguments and you'll want to access these arguments - either when using the script action, or when calling the script as a function from a program or from another script.

    Free translation by me:

    When creating a script, the values ​​you choose to pass are called arguments, and you'll want to access these arguments, either when using the script action, or when calling the script as a function from a program or from another script .

    If we continue reading, we come to the key point:

    These arguments are stored in the built-in variables: argument0, argument1, ... up to argument15.

    My translation:

    These arguments are stored in the built-in variables : argument0, argument1, ... until argument15.

    That is, the arguments are accessed in a somewhat special way. The language incorporates 15 predefined variables to access them:

    if !is_real(argument0)
{
   return 0;
}
else
{
   return (argument0 * argument0);
}

    There are more things about the arguments: built-in variable argument, function argument_count, ... I refer to the documentation .
