Remember that name is not variable! It’s name of instruction (but it actually could be variable - read anScript advanced). Calling instructions is quite simple (e.g. firstInstruction(a), secondInstruction(b, c)). You can pass arguments to your own instructions by reference or value (see examples).
instructionCreate(name) or instructionCreate(name, var arg, ...)semi-tag, to make non-direct call add
{at the and of line
Create instruction named name from code of block that ends on line with closing curly brace (}).
instructionCreateLines(name, var.i howManyLines) or instructionCreateLines(name, var.i howManyLines, var arg, ...)not recommended for beginner
Create instruction named name from code of block that consists of howManyLines lines, howManyLines includes line with instructionCreateLines instruction and doesn’t include empty lines or lines with comments.
instructionCreateIdentifier(name, var idn) or instructionCreateIdentifier(name, var idn, var arg, ...)not recommended for beginner
Create instruction named name from code of block that ends on line with identifier (identifier(var idn)).
instructionExecute(name) or instructionExecute(name, var arg, ...)Execute instruction named name. Number of parameters must match number of parameters when instruction was created (or could be variable for instructions with variable number of arguments). If instruction named name wasn’t found, check whether value of variable named name is name of instruction (if it is, execute it).
More about instructionExecute: anScript advanced
name() or name(var arg, ...)Execute instruction named name (simpler syntax than instructionExecute).
instructionExecuteInNewThread(name) or instructionExecuteInNewThread(name, var arg, ...)actual implementation could be described rather as asynchronous
Execute instruction named name in new thread.
instructionCAR()Perform one iteration of CAR (code at runtime).
instructionCreate(ins,a)
variableAssign(a,3.14.f)
}
variableCreate(b,70.i)
/Now b has value 70.i
ins(b)
/Now b has value 3.14
instructionCreate(ins,a)
variableAssign(a,3.14.f)
}
variableCreate(b,70.i)
/Now b has value 70.i
ins(*b)
/Now b has value 70.i
