Variable Examples
# Move a servo slowly in increments of 10
# from position 10 to 90
$position = 10
:loop
servo(d1, $position)
print("Position: $position")
Say("$Position")
sleep(1000)
$position = $position + 10
if ($position > 90)
goto(end)
goto(loop)
:end
Say("I'm Done counting!")
# Simple demonstration of variable usage
# All variables must be assigned before
# being used in a function
say("I'll do some math for you")
$y = 5
$x = 5 + 3 + $y
servo(d1, $x)
say("X equals $x")
# This script will read the position of
# the servo on D1
$servo = GetServo(d1)
Say("Servo 1 is at position $servo")

BRAVO ! DJ
I go on vacation and there are 3 big updates waiting for me! Awesome!
DJ,
Is it possible to add ScriptStopWait as well?
I link to different scripts, starting and stopping many within Script Manager.
Sometimes scripts are not getting stopped and I have to currently add Sleep delays. Could you add ScriptStopWait to overcome this?
Thanks,
Lumpy
Lumpy, no there isn't - script stop will stop - the issue you are experiencing has been addressed in the thread you started regarding it.
