Notes
|
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["groupname"] or argv[2]. You can reorder the parameters using drag and drop.
Once you run the script, the program console will be displayed.
| Tip |
|---|
You can use the RunnerLog function 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. |
