The Skyscraper Simulator Forum

Hi! I think this will be a good idea to add for skyscrapersim

What will it do
It will make BLD files more powerful by allowing advanced actions to be performed in simulator. I propose that there should be an ability to have variables be changed as the game (or simulator) is running. For example, you click a button and it will multiply the current number by 2:

Before	After
1	2
2	4
4	8
8	16

and so forth

How should it be implemented
The AddAction command will not be restrictive. It will allow for an already defined function to run as a button is clicked.
<Function Multiply>
Set result = %param1%*%param2%
print %result%
<EndFunction>
AddAction MyAction, Floor 2, RunFunction, Multiply(%first%,%second%)

Benefits
A realistic example for skyscrapersim would be a working fire alarm panel. Instead of completely separate buttons, there would be a way to navigate through the menus. You could also make a working arcade game if you wanted to.

I would say this would be a fantastic edition to the simulator.
