define script,3,0,0,99

ok, my question is this, what do those numbers actually represent? I have been programming plotscripts for a while now, but I still have no clue what these numbers are used for and how they are used, and whats is the meaning of them.

First of all, you forgot to name your script. Let's change that to "define script myscript,3,0,0,99."

The 3 is the number of variables in your script. I'm sure you know that much. The other numbers are the default values of the variables. You may have noticed that you don't have to pass all the values to all the functions. If a script called just plain "myscript", it would essentially be calling myscript(0,0,99).

Moogle of course means define script, -1, myscript,3,0,0,99

You can in fact pass any number of arguments to a script, and if there are too many, the extra ones are removed, and a warning is given because it undoubtably means you've done something wrong.
