When developing your own scripts, there may be some frequently used judgment statements,
like to statement “If there exist a certain image, click on it” we have show you earlier.

if (find(“res/20190809-131033.png”)) {

click(“res/20190809-131033.png”);

} else {

print(“No image found.”);

}

If my script uses this statement in many places,
I have to write it down everywhere, isn’t it too tired?

Fortunately, Blackey Script supports the function of custom functions.
Now let’s see how to define our own function ε≡ﾍ( ´∀`)ﾉ

The self-defined functions need to setup the function name and input parameters,
as shown below:

def function_name (parameter1, parameter2, …) {
    expression1;
    expression2;
    …
    return expression; // optional
}

The variable inside the self-defined functions are independent from the outside main script,
and currently Blackey Script only supports Call-By-Value.
Which means that when the self-defined function is called, the incoming parameters will be copied into it.
An example is as follows:

def foo(x, y) {
    print(“foo1: x, y = “, x, y);
    x = 3;
    print(“foo2: x, y = “, x, y);
    return (x+y);
}

x = 1;
y = 2;
print(“foo result: “, foo(x, y));
print(“main: x, y = “, x, y);

This code will print the result below:

foo1: x, y = , 1.000000 , 2.000000
// Pass value x = 1, y = 2 into foo function.

foo2: x, y = , 3.000000 , 2.000000
// We change the x’s value to 3 in the foo function

foo result: , 5.000000
// The return result will be 3 + 2 = 5

main: x, y = , 1.000000 , 2.000000
// The variable x outside the main script is still 1, which is not affected by internal modification

The syntax of the self-defined function is very similar to the way to define a function in Python.
But notice that we have one more pair of curly braces {}. (=´ω`=)

Here I list a few self-defined functions that I commonly use for your reference:

// Sleep by second
def sleep(second) {
    msleep(1000 * second);
}
// Sleep for 3 seconds
sleep(3);

// Wait until a certain image show on screen, wait up to given count second.
def wait(path, count) {
    while (count > 0) {
        if (find(path)) {
            return 1;
        } else {
            sleep(1); // You can still call another self-defined function in a self-defined function.
            count = count – 1;
        }
    }
}
// Wait for the OK.img image shows, up to 3 seconds.
wait(“res/OK.img”, 3);

So far, we have introduced all functions of Blackey Script.
