    The routine has a parameter.  You can't run a parameterized routine using the right-click context menu because you need to have some way of indicating the value of the parameter.  Work-around: create a "harness" function that, all it does is call your routine with the proper parameter value.

You can't run function with parameters by 'Run this routine' action. 

Try to create an additional function to run need test manually from the script.

teleport_debug()

{

   teleport("myTestItem")

}

It appears I can run the routine when I'm on the Test items page, and if I make a keyword test with params then convert it to script mode it looks just like what I'm trying to do above.. so I'm not entirely sure.

 

Are you saying that I can achieve what I'm trying to do by making the params in a function INSIDE of a parent function?

    Inside of a parent with no parameters I think is the point.  You can't run it the way you have it because there's no way to give it the parameters.
