I've been running my head into a wall trying to figure out how I can pass a location with arguments to my script so I wouldn't have to keep on hardcoding params and reuploading the script for it to work.

Right now, my script works appropriately when I invoke it like this:

>sec_chk(o:#s.testloc.test)

that uses hardcoded variables in the script like so

code:

var o = args.o.call({arg1:"foo", arg2:"bar"})

Which isn't really flexible, since every time I switch to a new system I'll have to edit/reup the script. Ideally, I'd invoke my script, like this:

>sec_chk{o:#s.testloc.test{arg1:"foo", arg2:"bar"}}

But I don't think that's gonna be at all viable, probably because of some misconceptions about the function of scriptors, or at the very least just because I can't get the parser to stop freaking out over nested curly braces (which can't be escaped here). So, I started thinking of other ways that I could get a list of arguments the avoid the issue, mainly a loop that iterates through Object.keys(args) to just pull out the variables that I specify in the script and then just reassemble them. That hasn't worked out very well and I'm pretty sure I'm missing a simpler way to do all this, any ideas?

Works perfectly, thanks for the help.

I don't think it will really help anyone, but here's the barely functioning script. It'll just run get_access_level and get_level on all the addresses in a given page. The hope is that it will quickly determine for you if there's any script that may have been planted in a bunch of innocuous-looking locations.

code:

function (context, args) {
	//invoke with sec_chk{o:testloc.test, fArgs:{arg1:"foo", arg2:"bar", arg3:"whatever"}}
	var o = args.o.call(args.fArgs)
	
	o = o.toString()
	var entry = o.split(",")
	var ret = ""
	
	for (var i=0;i<entry.length;i++) {
		ret += entry[i]+":\t\t\t"+#s.scripts.get_access_level({name:entry[i]})+"\t\t"+#s.scripts.get_level({name:entry[i]})+"\n"
	}
	return ret
}

I should probably work on making the output less ugly, but at least it's working and I can move on for now

Nearly all my coding has been done in C# in unity, is their an equivalent to Debug.Log in this that i can use to get output part-way through a script, or post messages to the console as the script runs? Need to be able to see where things are going wrong!

I'm interested in this too, I've been using returning a tell to myself using

code:

ret=#s.chats.tell({to:"staplegun", msg:i})

as some basic feedback to figure out where my script is at but it really feels like a bad way of accomplishing it.
