Some problems with a script extension

[temnix]

I'm patching area scripts with an extension that sets a variable, this variable is set outside the script. It should be simple, but nothing changes in scripts after this patch. Here is how the added bit runs:

IF

Global("SIZE","MYAREA",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #1

SetGlobal("SIZE","MYAREA",%size%)
Continue()

END

And outside of this the code, hidden in some nesting, is:

OUTER_TEXT_SPRINT 5 size

EXTEND_TOP ~%area%.BCS~ ~The Space-Fun Continuum/Script/ARSIZE_#.BAF~ EVALUATE_BUFFER

area is set above. So why aren't the scripts getting extended? There are no parsing errors.

You have inverted the name of the variable and its value:

OUTER_TEXT_SPRINT size "5"

You can also use OUTER_SET size = 5

Yes, I figured it out by now. I think I have to use text, though, because SET creates an integer, not a string. I mean, it gives 5, not "5". No?
