When you select a script from the list, its description will automatically be filled in below.

The Parameters field is used to pass values into your SIL program. To add a parameter click the Add Parameter button.

Note

Parameter names must be unique, otherwise the most recent definition will overwrite previous ones. This includes parameters with no name.

The parameters will be passed into the program using the argv variable. The values will be available using a construct like argv["parameter_name"] or argv[position]. For the above example, the number of rockets can be retrieved using argv["rockets"] or argv[2].

Tip

 Parameters can be reordered using drag and drop.

Tip

You can use the runnerLog routine to print info in the console as the program runs. Note that the console buffer is limited to 512 lines every ~0.5 sec and the console will only display the latest 512 lines.
