Converting an EZ-Script with Goto statements, Labels, Return, Repeat, If Statements, and random number generation to JavaScript can be quite involved, especially for a script as long as 1400 lines. However, I can guide you through the process and provide you with the JavaScript equivalents of these constructs.

In JavaScript, instead of using Goto and Labels, we use functions to organize code into reusable blocks. The Return statement is used to exit a function and optionally return a value. Loops in JavaScript can be created using for, while, or do...while statements. Conditional logic is handled with if, else if, and else statements. Random numbers can be generated using Math.random().

Here's a simplified example of how you might start converting your EZ-Script to JavaScript:

EZ-Script:

:Start
Goto(RandomImpersonation)

:RandomImpersonation
$randomNumber = GetRandom(1, 10)
If($randomNumber = 1)
  Goto(ImpersonateDrSmith)
ElseIf($randomNumber = 2)
  Goto(ImpersonateWillRobinson)
...
Return

:ImpersonateDrSmith
# Code to impersonate Dr. Smith
Return

:ImpersonateWillRobinson
# Code to impersonate Will Robinson
Return

JavaScript Equivalent:

function start() {
  randomImpersonation();
}

function randomImpersonation() {
  var randomNumber = getRandom(1, 10);
  if (randomNumber === 1) {
    impersonateDrSmith();
  } else if (randomNumber === 2) {
    impersonateWillRobinson();
  }
  // ... other conditions
}

function impersonateDrSmith() {
  // Code to impersonate Dr. Smith
}

function impersonateWillRobinson() {
  // Code to impersonate Will Robinson
}

function getRandom(min, max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

// Start the process
start();

In this JavaScript example, we define functions for each section of your EZ-Script. The start function begins the process, and randomImpersonation decides which character to impersonate based on a random number. Each character has its own function, such as impersonateDrSmith and impersonateWillRobinson.

Please note that this is a simplified example, and your actual script will likely be more complex. You'll need to translate each part of your EZ-Script into JavaScript functions, loops, and conditional statements. Additionally, you'll need to handle global variables and integrate with ARC's JavaScript API for controlling your robot.

Given the complexity and length of your script, it may be best to break down the conversion process into smaller, manageable parts and test each part thoroughly before moving on to the next. If you encounter specific issues or need help with particular parts of the script, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to assist you.

Ugh, this is why ezscript needs to be shot. Your code doesn't work as you think it does because ezscript is so broken.

Here is an example...

A condition consists of IF, ELSE IF, and ELSE. An ELSE cannot have a condition included because it's the "all else that's left over"...

In your code, this should NOT compile and, therefore, does not work as you think it does. The $resposne_dr_smith = 2 will never reach anything. This doesn't actually work at all...

if ($response_Dr_Smith = 1)
    ControlCommand("Dr_Smith", Track_0)
    Sleep(2000)
  ELSE ($response_Dr_Smith = 2)

There's a lot of code there... but it's mostly just many IF conditions. So that can be replaced with javascript easily - however, you'll need to type a lot. I can provide a bit of help in a future response after i look at it for a bit.

Canceled. Nothing to see here.

Why did you delete the last script?

Thanks DJ. Actually I did not realize the script wasn't working correctly. It would run and respond with different characters and responses. I did think over time that I really didn't get enough responses from the Dr Smith section though. I really want to get this converted and will be studying and working on it soon. In the mean time I guess I need to look at the problem you found and get it fixed. LOL. Thanks!

Argh, i started to edit your original script but noticed you changed it. So i just did a bunch of work for nothing. But anyway. I was able to use search and replace to change most of it. The only thing left is to change the goto's to functions. And then add more opening braces { on the end of the IF conditions. I even fixed the broken ELSE conditions.

revised: revised script 1.txt

But, that's the old version of teh script you uploaded so i dunno to do now.

@DJ,

Here's a second long EZ Script I want to work on converting to JavaScript. It's the same impersonation skit but only runs once with one character's impression but selects randomly. Foy your approval and amusement. LOL:

Hahah here's your code as a file: SAVE FILES INSTEAD OF GIANT PASTES.txt
