By adding comment-based tags to your script, you can create argument input fields in the launcher.

When the script is executed, the values set in those fields are passed as arguments.

Example:

To create a numeric input field labeled "Offset" with an initial value of 0.000, add the following comment line at the top of your script:

// #IC_param {number} "Offset" 0.000

To receive that value as the variable "offsetVal" inside your script, write:

var offsetVal = arguments[0];

That's all you need. The value set in the launcher is passed as a number.

You can also use strings and booleans, and you can turn the input field into a dropdown list.

For details, open the file "Argument Tag Demo.jsx" in the included SampleScripts folder.

All sample scripts are plain text, so you can use them as clear examples of how to define and retrieve arguments.
