I'm trying to figure out parameters in python. I created a model and it has some parameters in it. When I run it and create a GP service from it, it asks me to enter those parameters and then runs. I have a python script that I added to a toolbox hoping it would ask for those parameters as well. when I add the script to the toolbox and run it, it says this tool has no parameters. I assumed the in the script arguments from my example that the first_point = arcpy.GetParametersAsText(0) would ask me to enter the first point. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA
