Hello,

is it somehow possible to call a own script function from a Module?

```auto
def foo(params)
      print params

```

Something like

ScriptManager.call(“tools.foo” , params)

br,  
Roland

Generally speaking, you’re going to have a much easier time doing this if you just write your logic in Java, _but_, you could technically run an arbitrary script from the `ScriptManager` available on the context object your module’s hook will get during `setup()` in whatever scope(s) it’s registered for. `CommonContext` defines `getScriptManager`, which has various `runCode` and related overloads; eg:  
`com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.ScriptManager#runCode(java.lang.String, org.python.core.PyObject, java.lang.String)`
