Passing parameters with ScriptManager.start

[Terri_Farms 0]

Hi All,

I've been trying to write a script that is able to launch other scripts using the ScriptManager.start function.

My current code has it starting the other script, but I want to be able to pass parameters to this newly launched script. This is the current code used to launch the new script:

ScriptManager mg = new ScriptManager(getClient().getInstance());
mg.start("IronMiner", "args", "test1", "test2");

However, the new script does not seem to receive these arguments and only executes the onStart function that does not take arguments.

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

    @Override
    public void onStart(String... params) {
        log("Started with params: " + params);
        for (String p : params) {
            log("Param found: " + p);
        }
        super.onStart(params);
    }

does this work for the child script?

When the child script is called it doesn't call the onStart(String... params) method but the normal onStart() method.

Seems to be a bug

It''s happening because you're creating your own ScriptManager instead of using the one the client uses.

Try starting it through ours (Instance#getScriptManager).

Actually, the way he is doing it actually seems to run the script, just without the params.

Doing it the way you suggest seems to not even launch it:

        MethodProvider.log("Starting script");
        getClient().getInstance().getScriptManager().start("ScriptName", "Test1", "123param");
        MethodProvider.log("Script launched");

However, if you run a script with that code and then try to run the script you want to launch with the params manually, it starts it with the params you set in that code

I've just tried using the client's ScriptManager:

getClient().getInstance().getScriptManager().start("IronMiner", "params", "test1", "test2");

But this doesn't launch the new script at all.

You can use this code (its ugly and fucking weird but it will work)

        MethodProvider.log("Starting script");
        String scriptName = "ScriptName";
        String[] scriptParams = new String[] {"param1", "param2"};
        getClient().getInstance().getScriptManager().start(scriptName, scriptParams);
        ScriptManager m = new ScriptManager(getClient().getInstance());
        m.start(scriptName, scriptParams);
        MethodProvider.log("Script launched");

Yeah it won't start a script with one already running (the one calling it), it's another reason why you'll have to hack around to do it (like Neff suggests above). We currently don't have an official way to handle it, but I'll look into it for something we could do in DB3.
