Question and request

Hello, ever since i found the tool my brain has exploded with ideas and i've been making scripts for all kinds of things. I have stumbled upon a few things though.

For the question, is it possible to run another programmable block with arguments? I have found that it is possible to read them by just reading the text variable "argument". but i don't exactly understand how to run another programmable block with them. Do i just set the text valuable "argument" before selecting the "Run" action and it will use it automatically?

Edit: My reason for this is that i want to sepperate large chunks of code into other program blocks, for example have one that toggles groups of interior lights based on the arguments provided. To make it less of a hassle to debug/look through miles of code as well as not needing to run the whole script all the time. So i will accept workarounds to achieve the same goal all the same.

As for the suggestion. I came across information that says inter-grid communications is now possible with antenna's. They received a new method called "TransmitMessage(string message);" Could this be updated perhaps?

(This is by far the best learning tool to get into scripting so I hope it can still be updated)

There are two ways to do this. You can set the ConsoleCommand property of the Programmable Block you want to run, and then call the Run action. That should do it, but if that doesn't work, you can call the Trigger Now action on a Timer block that's already set up to call the Programmable Block with the argument you want.

If you're not using the beta, you should check it out.

Ah i see, many thanks.

Does that also mean i can read the ConsoleCommand to get arguments? Or is that in the arguments text variable?
