Hey all!

How could I achieve the following flow: try the A autoassembler script, and if it fails, try B. They are fairly different scripts, including the code that is injected, and they can't both be active at the same time.
Script A will sometimes fail (intentionally) because of an assert inside of it. If afterwards, script B fails aswell, then "everything" fails.

Currently, I have two separate rows in the scripts list; I enable the first one, and if it fails, I enable the second one. This is pretty clunky, though...

something like this (untested, just wrote this out of my head but you might get the idea)

Code:


[enable]
{$lua}
if scriptDisableInfo==nil then
  scriptDisableInfo={}
end

local r,di=autoAssemble([[yourscriptEnablePartOnly
...
]])
if r then
  scriptDisableInfo[memrec]={}
  scriptDisableInfo[memrec].di=di
  scriptDisableInfo[memrec].disableScript=[[yourscriptDisablePartOnly
...]]
else
  r,di=autoAssemble([[yourOtherscriptEnablePartOnly
...
]])
  if r then
    scriptDisableInfo[memrec]={}
    scriptDisableInfo[memrec].di=di
    scriptDisableInfo[memrec].disableScript=[[yourOtherscriptDisablePartOnly
...]]
  end
end
if r==false then
  error('both scripts failed. I give up')
end

{$lua}

[disable] 
{$lua}
autoAssemble(scriptDisableInfo[memrec].disableScript,scriptDisableInfo[memrec].di)
{$asm}
