GameMaker Script with Unlimited Arguments?

[Fixer90]

I am mostly aware of how GML's script system works — with arguments and whatnot. However, I am curious as to if there is a way to make a script with no limit to arguments, similar to some built-in functions in GML (ex. ds_list_add). Is this possible?

Scripts are, as far as i know, limited to 16 arguments. edit: as pointed out, this limit has been removed when using the argument[] array.

Something like

foo([2, 8, 13, 1])

is also valid and has no fixed limit.

I’m assuming the question is about the maximum number of argument, and not simply about scripts having a variable number of arguments

They aren't, you can use argument[] array and argument_count for as many as you want

There are your basic argument0 to argument15.
But there is also just "argument" as an array.
The keyword argument_count will then tell you, how many arguments you have provided.

I guess I missed another update info somewhere, thanks for correcting me @YellowAfterlife . The limit has been removed in version 1.4.1760.

if you dont know how many arguments you want you can also add some code like this.
var setArgs = 3;
for (var i = setArgs; i < argument_count; ++ i){
if (argument_count > i){
var thing = argument;
}
}
