Odd functions in Halo Script.

^case closed, I suppose.

Same for dormant scripts, this is the case in almost(?) every scripting language, because they're usually sequential, you couldn't call on something that hasn't been defined yet.

I should note that I just c&p that text from a LISP reference (it was a leaked document so I never got around to culling the info that didn't apply here). Halo Script, while it uses a LISP-like grammar, it itself is not LISP nor does it use a LISP parser. Bungie programmed their own parser/compiler for HS.

So I can't use arrays?

I could do some BEAST scripts if I could use arrays.

To a point this is true. For example:

Messagebox.show(rawr)
Dim rawr as string = "hi"

That won't work. You are referencing a value before it's defined.
