zs.param() is returning 0 when a number that doesn't exist is referenced - not a very good return since a parameter could potentially be the number 0. The following code will work, for example

Hmm, true, I guess it should return nil instead?

But you could doublecheck zs.params() (or whatever the func is that tells you the count of params).

There isn't actually a function that returns the parameter count - I guess it's assumed that if you care about the parameter count, you'll have decided how many parameters you're going to have for an alias and fixed the number, and if you don't care you'll use the catch-all params function.

What'd be really sweet is if that whole bit of code (with potentially many zscript function calls) could be simplified to something like local params = zs.param.

Unless I am off my rocker again you do have a function that tells you how many parameters there are, %numparam. Which should be accessible as zs.numparam() or zs.func.numparam().

My excuse for not remembering that is that I woke up from a nap 10 minutes before writing that post. A dire lapse, it really is. Good call. Here's a better version:
