can anybody tell me why this does not work? the parameters definitely contain values, i can see their content via !alert...
works when called manually. i have absolutely no clue...?!

*Script exec !LabelMove Fish %{\2} %{\3}

mzscript 0.9beta12 btw.

If you call another (nested) mzscript bang before that, it will wipe out the parameters for the current one. Only thing I can think of... Unless you've got a !VarSet \2 in there someplace, but that'd be too strange and obvious.

Did you try an !alert in exactly the same place in the script? Or better yet, use !alert '!LabelMove Fish %{\2} %{\3}' ?

in fact, it's like this:

*Script bang !SetFishSize
*Script exec !SetFishSetting vFishSize %{\1}
*Script exec !ifeval ("%{%#FishMinimumSize%#}" > "%{\1}") {!SetFishSetting vFishSize "%{%#FishMinimumsize%#}"}
*Script exec !SetupModules %{vFishSize}
*Script exec !LabelRefresh Fish FishImage fish%{vFishSize}.png
*Script ~bang

; !SetupFish
*Script bang !SetupFish
*Script exec !SetFishSize %{\1}
*Script exec !LabelMove Fish %{tx} %{\3}
*Script ~bang

*Script start !SetupFish $FishStartSize$ $FishStartX$ $FishStartY$

i've many bangs calling other bangs with parameters... thought it would work like programming languages do.

is the any way of getting around this elegantly? the only one i can think of is to set a lot of mzscript vars, yet in a way based on structural depth, so it is kind of dynamic (if you know what i mean... hm... :D).

Afaict you can only use temporary variables with the 0.9 betas.

thanks, but RabidCow has already helped me out (potentially :D ) (see http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=4&action=view&catId=7&id=3459)
