Is it really easier to create and post screenshots than copy and paste text in CODE blocks?

Your issue is derived from not understanding what arguments script_execute() takes, and the fact that you are calling your script right at the point where you are passing it to script_execute() due to using parenthesis. Omitting the parenthesis, and passing the arguments required for it in the script_execute() call instead, is the right way of doing it. Right now, your script returns a number, and that is what script_execute() is currently trying to interpret as a script index and execute.

answer = scr_aplusb(num1, num2);

@Dmi7ry is of course entirely correct if you do not actually need pass different scripts to script_execute()..

I'm sure it's not his level for script_execute (i.e. he just didn't know how to call scripts)

Hi, chamaeleon. Omg, you saved me. Sorry about the screenshots.

So I followed your advise, I'm sure you have tested it or so:

answer = script_execute(scr_aplusb(), num1, num2);

to

answer = script_execute(scr_aplusb, num1, num2);

It worked. Thank you so much, chamaeleon.

 

[krugen]

answer = scr_aplusb(num1, num2);

Omg, I never know it could work like this. I mean it is very obvious and straight forward but I only follow the documentation:

https://docs2.yoyogames.com/index.html?page=source/_build/3_scripting/4_gml_reference/index.html

You open my eyes, @Dmi7ry. Thanks a bunch!

Not a problem. You do know that in this particular case that you show code for @Dmi7ry's code would work just fine, right? I just assumed your end goal was more complex than just doing the equivalent of a function call.

I just want to call and pass argument to the said script.

Then just do it without using script_execute just like as if your script was a builtin function.
