Is there a way to start a script in the middle !

Ie my main routine consists of "Calls" like most so i was wondering if i wanted to start at a certain call and then work forward from there.

Code: Select all

 call UnDock
      call WarpToBelt
      call LoadMining
      call ApproachRoid

      BailOut&#58;Set[$&#123;LavishScript.RunningTime&#125;+&#40;1000*240&#41;]

      call LockAndLoad
      call CheckCargoFull
      call DockAtStation
      call WaitDocked
      wait 50
      call DragToHangar
      call StackAll
      call LogoutTimerFunction
      wait $&#123;Math.Rand[100]&#58;Inc[100]&#125;

is it even possible please.

Sure. Learn about branching methods, like "if". http://www.lavishsoft.com/wiki/index.ph ... Structures

I'm sure if you think about it you might be able to come up with something. Also remember that any function, including main, can take parameters.

Thanks for the pointer Lax, I took a look and still no better off, I think i am being a little too ambitious. I read the section you linked but i still cannot even begin to understand how i would start a script part way through by passing a parameter.

Ok... here's a simplistic example...

Code: Select all

 
      if $&#123;MyParameter==1&#125;
      &#123;
         call UnDock
         call WarpToBelt
         call LoadMining
         call ApproachRoid
      &#125;
      BailOut&#58;Set[$&#123;LavishScript.RunningTime&#125;+&#40;1000*240&#41;]

      call LockAndLoad
      call CheckCargoFull 
      call DockAtStation
      call WaitDocked
      wait 50
      call DragToHangar
      call StackAll
      call LogoutTimerFunction
      wait $&#123;Math.Rand[100]&#58;Inc[100]&#125;

but when it cycles my parameter wont be 1 ? or am i missing the boat

Parameter:Set[1]

You're missing a lot of boats.

How about like this.
if you use this while you are docked, it'd undock you with the ExitStation call, if you were already undocked, it'd go straight to WarptoBelt and skip the ExitStaion call.
Of course you have to fix up something that'll end up to be the CheckDocked part that'll tell it if you're docked or not.

Code: Select all

function DoStuff&#40;&#41; 
&#123; 
   call CheckDocked 
   if $&#123;Return.Equal[1]&#125; 
   &#123; 
	echo Currently Docked, so Undocking NOW.
	call ExitStation	
   &#125; 
   else 
   &#123; 
	echo I'm Already Undocked.
	call WarpToBelt
	call LoadMining
	call ApproachRoid
   &#125; 

   Wait $&#123;Math.Rand[50]&#58;Inc[200]&#125; 
&#125;
