What kind of object?

Hi @Lordrhavin, I'm assuming you're using ExtendScript because you didn't tag UXP.

Application.doScript() is synchronous. You can see here:

function main() {
    $.sleep(500)
    alert('main')
};

app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, 'Do Script');

alert('end');

You can supposedly pass arguments to the function (that's the undefined parameter above), but it seems to expect an Array of Strings, which limits things a bit. However, I use doScript all the time for managing single Undos and it seems fairly unproblematic to handle scope. You can call the app.doScript from inside a function, after all.

Does that help? I'm really not super knowledgable on this, so I hope I haven't misunderstood your question.

Edit to more directly answer your question:

> "But how do I pass an object to this asnc function? Is a skript-global array of those objects the only way?"

You can simply use doScript to execute a function that itself has the scope you need.
