Editing a Script

After you have created a BlueZone script, you may find it necessary to edit the script. Editing a BlueZone script is easy and can be accomplished with the Script Editor's GUI interface. There is no need to worry about syntax errors because the GUI editor take care of that for you.

To edit a Script:

From the BlueZone Script Editor MenuBar select File:Open. A standard Windows File Dialog will display. Choose the desired script and click the Open button. The script will appear in the Main Window as shown in the above example.

NOTE Recording and playing Scripts is BlueZone emulator specific (i.e., the script is limited to just the BlueZone emulator that created it and cannot be used to run other BlueZone emulation clients).

It's important to make sure that you have the correct emulator Mode selected when you are editing a script. Note that Mainframe is selected in the following screen shot:

TIP A quick way to make sure you have the correct Mode selected is to visually note which terminal is selected on the ToolBar. Note that in the above example, the yellow Mainframe terminal located on the ToolBar is selected.

To insert an item into a Script:

You can insert items into the script by using mouse clicks alone, or a combination of your mouse and buttons on the ToolBar.

In the Main Window, use your left mouse pointer to select the point in the script that you wish to add the item. The item will be added below the selected item.

For example:

To add a Script Event, you can highlight the desired Script Event in the Script Events pane and double click. The Script Event will be added into the script below the cursor.

Highlight the desired Script Event in the Script Events pane and click the Insert Script Event button located on the ToolBar. The Script Event will be added into the script below the cursor.
