Masterend in Macro does not allow to pass parameters

Jochen Suehlo — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:14:36 GMT

I created a simple Macro, where I needed to define different variables which should be passed to the Caller. This works fine with the following Script:

! Macro butter = "Apple" END butter ! Caller CALL "var_define" PARAMETERS RETURNED_PARAMETERS butter TEXT2 0, 0, butter

But I need to write different other scripts as well in the macro (UI, 2D, Parameter, etc.)
For this reason I have to define a "MASTEREND" in the Master-Script, because otherwise the other scripts would not be executed, because of the "END" in the Master-Script.
But now the following script does not work: the variable "butter" and its value is not passed to the Caller.

! Macro butter = "Apple" GOTO "Masterend" END butter "Masterend": ! Caller CALL "var_define" PARAMETERS RETURNED_PARAMETERS butter TEXT2 0, 0, butter

Any ideas to solve this problem?

Hi,

the end statements need to be duplicated in each script which wants to return a value.

! Macro master butter = "Apple" ! Macro 2D ! no code END butter ! Macro 3D ! lots of code END butter ! Macro UI ! no code, return value not used in caller - leave empty
