  • Custom instruction is a standalone sequence designed to perform a particular task and can be called from anywhere within the script of currently edited object.
  • Any instruction which does not return any value is called statement.
  • Any custom instruction consists of two parts - instruction definition and instruction call

    • Defines parameters and contents of custom instruction.

    • To create new custom instruction, simply place new block anywhere in the canvas.
    • Name and parameters of a instruction can be edited via context menu (right click on block).
    • Parameters work as local variables and can be used inside the custom instruction.
    • Custom instruction can be terminated at any point using return block.
