How do I call one script directly from another script?

Very simple, just by using its name. When you make a script, it can be used exactly like any normal plotscripting command. Permit me to give an example.
#------------------------------------------------- script, show a box in greyscale and wait, begin greyscale palette update palette show text box(3) wait for text box reset palette update palette end #------------------------------------------------- plotscript, my main script, begin # call your script just as if it was a command show a box in greyscale and wait end #-------------------------------------------------
You can also give arguments to your scripts. Example:
#------------------------------------------------- script, show a box in greyscale and wait, box to show=0, begin greyscale palette update palette show text box(box to show) wait for text box reset palette update palette end #------------------------------------------------- plotscript, my main script, begin # call your script just as if it was a command show a box in greyscale and wait (3) end #-------------------------------------------------
Not only that, but your scripts can also return values. Here is another example.
#------------------------------------------------------------ script, area of a circle, radius=1, begin # Area equals PI times Radius Squared # the OHRRPGCE only uses integers, so we are going to # pretend PI is 314 and divide the result by 100 variable(PI) PI:=314 variable(result) result:=PI * (Radius ^2) # now we divide the result by 100 before we return it. # the result will be rounded off to an integer return(result / 100) end #------------------------------------------------------------ plotscript, my main script, begin variable(area) area:=area of a circle(25) show value(area) end #------------------------------------------------------------
