A cool workaround for passing local variables into functions

// usage: /* pack(data); function() { data = unpack(); ... } depack();

// you can also pass the name argument into any function */

global.__packed_data = {} global.__pack_stack = []

///@function getNextHash() -> string hash function getNextHash() { static hash_id = 0 hash_id++

hash = md5_string_unicode(string(hash_id))
hash = string_copy(hash, 0, 8)

return hash

}

///@function pack(data, *name) -> string name ///@param {any} data ///@param {string} *name function pack(data, name) { if (is_undefined(argument[1])) { name = getNextHash() array_push(global.__pack_stack, name) } global.__packed_data[$ name] = data

return name

}

///@function unpack(*name) -> any ///@param {string} *name function unpack(name) { if (is_undefined(argument[0])) { if array_length(global.__pack_stack) { name = array_last(global.__pack_stack) } else { return undefined } } return global.__packed_data[$ name] }

///@function depack(*name) -> bool ///@param {string} *name function depack(name) { if is_undefined(argument[0]) { name = array_pop(global.__pack_stack) } else if (array_length(global.__pack_stack)) and (name == array_last(global.__pack_stack)) { name = array_pop(global.__pack_stack) } if (is_undefined(name)) return -1

variable_struct_remove(global.__packed_data, name)
return true

}

///@function repack(data, *name) -> string name ///@param {any} data ///@param {string} *name function repack(data, name) { if (is_undefined(argument[1])) { if (!array_length(global.__pack_stack)) return undefined

	name = array_last(global.__pack_stack)
	array_push(global.__pack_stack, name)
}

depack(name)
return pack(data, name)

function array_last(arr) { return arr[array_length(arr)-1] }
