How Octopus will invoke ScriptCS scripts.

01 - Command line

tentacle run-script -f Hello.csx -v Hello=Bar

02 - Bootstrap.d44ad7c8-3ba2-44a4-a283-7ceb9431d321.csx

#load "P:\\GitHub\\Octopus\\source\\Octopus.Tentacle\\bin\\Deploy.csx"

03 - Configure.41aa7a71-af29-4e8d-9539-615b498a37a9.csx

// This file is generated

using System;
public static class Octopus
{
  public static readonly OctopusParametersDictionary Parameters = new OctopusParametersDictionary();

  public class OctopusParametersDictionary : System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string,string>
  {
    public OctopusParametersDictionary() : base(System.StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
    {
      // Variables:
    this[System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String( "SGVsbG8=" ) )] = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String( "QmFy" ) );
    }
    public string Hello { get { return this[System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String( "SGVsbG8=" ) )]; } }
  }

  // Functions:
  static string EncodeServiceMessageValue(string value)
  {
  var valueBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value);
	return Convert.ToBase64String(valueBytes);
  }

  public static void SetOctopusVariable(string name, string value) 
  { 	
    name = EncodeServiceMessageValue(name);
    value = EncodeServiceMessageValue(value);

	Console.WriteLine("##octopus[setVariable name='$name' value='$value']");
  }
}

04 - Deploy.csx

// This is the user's script:

using System;

Console.WriteLine("Hello! " + Octopus.Parameters["Hello"]);

@PaulStovell, am I supposed to be able to call Octopus.SetOctopusVariable(name, value) from my PreDeploy/Deploy? Tentacle crashes when I do it.
