Commands

In osl you can define a custom command using the def command, as with all other custom syntax. A custom command will not return a value, and will simply allow for a script to reuse commands.

Syntax

def "my_command" "input1" (
  // run command stuff
)

Example

def "logtimes" "times, string" (
  loop times (
    log string
    // log the input string
  )
)

logtimes 5 "hello world"
// logs hello world 5 times

This has a flaw however, it fully uses only global variables, meaning that the variables can be accessed from anywhere and meaning that making a recursive command is almost impossible. To ensure it uses local we can use: this from Local Scoping

def "logtimes" "this.times, this.string" (
  loop this.times (
    log this.string
    // log the input string
  )
)

logtimes 5 "hello world"
// logs hello world 5 times
