Procedures and functions

Post by NickDay »

Unless I've overlooked it, MSICode does not include syntax for procedures and functions (the closest it gets is 'include script').
I've wondered for a long time whether this will ever be added, e.g. in the native engine, so thought I might as well ask.

Hi Nick,

You are write, the Include Script command is indeed the closest thing to a function. What exactly are you unable to do with this mechanism?

I haven't hit something it stops me doing, Aviv. It just strikes me as an unusual for a language to not support procedure and function calls, so I wondered whether I was missing something, or if it was under development. No problem.
