Can't access to the variable in object macro after just defining the variable #137
Description
# in python
> object tempCall python
return 'right'
< object
< object test python
temp_query = rs.get_uservar(rs.current_user(),"temp_query")
print(temp_query)
> object
# in rivescript
+ xyz (x|y|z)
- <set temp_query=answer is <call>tempCall <star></call>
^ <call>test</call>
Output:
answer is {_call_}tempCall x{_call_}
I was hoping for 'answer is right' as an output.
How do I make it work? Am I missing something? Please guide me. Thanks!

Unfortunately, this syntax doesn't work; the
<call>tag is the very last one processed after tags like<get>and<set>had already been handled.However, you can set user variables from inside the object macro itself as a workaround:
Background: tags are processed using regular expressions and are done in a certain order. The only set of tags that can be nested in arbitrary order are the variable-setter tags like
<get>,<set>,<add>and so on; but that's because each of those tags conveniently starts and ends with<angle brackets>so a recursive regexp can handle them from inner-most to outer-most. But tags like<call>...</call>have inner contents and would be more tricky to handle that way.
