Facility Control

Does anyone know if there is there a way to create a global ogscript function with code I can execute from any panel button (via ogscript) without having to redefine the entire function every time in that particular task?

Basically I want to have several buttons, each with ogscript tasks, and each one would call that global function and pass a few different parameters, or maybe even run the function a few times with different parameters. It would make for a lot cleaner code and easier to maintain since my buttons are doing relatively the same thing with a few variables thrown in.

Thanks!

You can use a lookup table to do insert the same piece of code multiple times. If you look at some of the DashBoard U examples, you'll see this being put to use.

Here is a minimal example:

         function saySomething(greeting, name)

{

   ogscript.rename('NameLabel', greeting + ' ' + name + '!');

}


      %const['GlobalScripts']['saySomething']%

saySomething('Hello', params.getValue('params.name', 0));
   

      %const['GlobalScripts']['saySomething']%

saySomething('Good-bye', params.getValue('params.name', 0));

Ah, very good. Thanks James! I've modified this for my function and it works very well.
