O.P. Is there a way to "link" scripts?
My question is: Is it possible to use variables and functions from other scripts and include them in your own? *And no, I'm not talking of copying the jscript file for my own script folder but instead use its functions while it's runnning and in its place :P*

In short: No.

A bit longer: It's not needed. If it's just a simple JScript function, why don't you just copy it? If you want to release the script to the public, you'd better ask the developer of the script you're copying from if you want to use it, but for personal use I don't see any problem. And if that's not the case, why don't you simply modify the script itself instead of trying to inherit its functions? I don't see the point... :S

EDIT: Holy crap, I'm as slow as hell these days! :(

It was exactly for not breaking any copyright laws... :P Just needed to use some return values from other script... and making the same effect without copying it would be a very hard job... (the script I want is IP Get!!!)
But thanks anyway... I'll just try to find a solution! :D

If it is a script you want to release publically, then just send a quick e-mail to the creator of the script asking if you can use it.

That being said, you don't really need their permission as the scripts by default come with an open source license anyway, so you shouldn't stop making a script because it uses someone elses code, but it is courteous to ask first.

If you're refferring to the fact that you can see the source code, that doesn't mean it is open source parsé, the user can still apply any license they want to the code.
