ACC.exe - bool and str parameters for scripts?
I haven't used ACC.exe but remind me again - are bool and str parameters for closed scripts not possible? I coulda sworn they were possible before...
Re: ACC.exe - bool and str parameters for scripts?
You do remember that behind the scene, all variables in ACS are really ints?
Re: ACC.exe - bool and str parameters for scripts?
Ah, right. I remembered incorrectly - they were only "possible" because of GDCC. In quotes because I suppose anything other than ints were hacked in.

Re: ACC.exe - bool and str parameters for scripts?
Strictly speaking, due to the nature of everything being ints in ACS, strings can be passed to scripts. This does require the string to be added to ACS's string table as well as the index of that string to be passed, though, so I'm not really sure if there's a feasible way to make use of this beyond scripts calling other scripts.
