Passing variables to a Script

[Ruckus 0]

I've been messing around with some scripts and I haven’t been able to find a answer to a question and hope someone has either done this or has the knowledge to do this.

I'm calling a script from a trigger:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[trigger1,G1,"east"]exec"creategroup.sqs"

I'm able to get the script to create a group and add units to it without any trouble (with local variables).  The question I have is I'd like to pass a variable (G1 in this case) so the script can use this variable name for the created group, so I might be able to reference it later in the map.

I'm unsure how to get the script to use "G1" as the name of the group.  I assume that the variables passed to the script are the contents of those variables and not pointers per se.

I have not initialized "G1" as a group variable, I’d just like the script to use the name that I pass on.  Does anyone know, or has anyone done something like this before?

Any help is appreciated

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">call compile format ["%1 = creategroup %2",_this select 1,_this select 2];

Script will see it as G1 = creategroup east.

I suppose that third parameter in script is side of the group.

Thanks Gaia.  I tryed this method as I had seen this used in OFP code,  but the wiki showed using "{ }" marks instead of the quote marks.  When I couldn't even get the example to work, I assumed I didn't understand something.

I'll give that a try. Thanks again

thanks it works fine....I had to put quotes around the G1 variable, then it works as you said.
