====== Begin procedure ======

This action allows you to start a procedure declaration.

A procedure contains actions inserted between a [[en:actions:ActionBeginProcedure|Begin procedure action]] and a [[en:actions:ActionEndProcedure|End procedure action]]. A procedure can be called using a [[en:actions:ActionCallProcedure|Call procedure action]] or any "If true/false/etc" parameter. When the actions contained within the procedure have been executed the execution automatically jumps after the action that made the procedure call.

Procedures have the following limitations:
  * Each procedure has an unique, non-empty name that cannot be dynamically set
  * Is not allowed to declare a procedure within another procedure
  * Each Begin procedure action has to have exactly one End procedure action
  * Variables declared within the procedure will be kept outside the procedure (this is not the case in most programming languages)
  * Procedures doesn't have any parameters (yet)

Note also that:
  * Recursive calls are allowed (a procedure can call itself)
  * You can call a procedure before it is declared
  * You should not use any [[en:actions:ActionGoto|Goto action]], conditional actions, nor jump outside the procedure because doing this will prevent the execution to go back to the calling action
  * You should not mix gotos and procedures
