How to convert the following ThinkScript to EasyLanguage?

====
def EI = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = high, "price l" = low, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = 5, "atr reversal" = 2.0);
def EISave = if !IsNaN(EI) then EI else GetValue(EISave, 1);
def chg = (if EISave == high then high else low) - GetValue(EISave, 1);
def isUp = chg >= 0;
def EIL = if !IsNaN(EI) and !isUp then low else GetValue(EIL, 1);
def EIH = if !IsNaN(EI) and isUp then high else GetValue(EIH, 1);
def dir = if EIL != EIL[1] or low == EIL[1] and low == EISave then 1 else if EIH != EIH[1] or high == EIH[1] and high == EISave then -1 else dir[1] ;
def signal = if dir > 0 and low > EIL then if signal[1] <= 0 then 1 else signal[1] else if dir < 0 and high < EIH then if signal[1] >= 0 then -1 else signal[1] else signal[1];
plot upArrow = signal > 0 and signal[1] <= 0;
upArrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
plot downArrow = signal < 0 and signal[1] >= 0;
downArrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);

The big problem is ZigZagHighLow, I guess. I see the code for EasyLanguage zigzag code here at traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/2019/03/TradersTips.html

but, I cant put together. Any pointer would be highly appreciated.. Thanks!

Are you asking the opposite? The EasyLanguage code is there. Do you want to convert to ThinkScript?

If so, this should be posted over in the ThinkScript section.

Well, I see the zigzag code as posted in the previous URL, but I cant plug that into a strategy/indicator.. basically buy and sell points should be identified in zigzag code. Thanks!

Okay, understood. I don't think you can write a strategy for zigzag, at least one that can be properly backtested. I looked at this last year for a little bit, but threw it away. When watching a live chart, you will see how the zigs and zags are formed.

Maybe someone else has a different perspective.
