Pass group which triggered Event Script

Hi All,

I'm trying to write a script which will syncronise my Trigger Groups with a Custom Application (49) so that I can get groups working in a nice way on my eDLTs (whoever thought this function through seems to have only half thought it through!).

I've labelled each of my trigger groups with a keyword 'scenes' which I can use to trigger off an event, is there a way that I can then pass to the script which group triggered the event to start so I can use that group number to get the level and synchronise it?

I want to avoid creating xx number of event scripts to synchronise each trigger if possible.

 

Something like

from_level = event.getvalue()
from_ga = string.split(event.dst, '/')

to_app = 56
to_level = 255
to_rate = 0

log(from_ga)

if from_ga[2] == '202' then -- is from trigger control

SetCBusLevel(tonumber(from_ga[1])), to_app, tonumber(from_ga[3]), to_level, to_rate)

end

 

Thanks - that's super helpful. Are the event.xxx attributes documented anywhere? I haven't seen them and really helpful!

 

Not documented as far as I know,
Easiest way to see what’s in there is to
log(event)

but it can be a bit tedious many logs just to see etc…

Also, to give back to the community, final script I ended up using:

Code:

--Syncronise the scene groups and triggers
-- Note: Assumes that there is a 1:1 mapping between the trigger groups and the lighting groups on your target application.
from_level = event.getvalue()
from_ga = string.split(event.dst, '/')

to_app = 49 --application with mirror groups
to_rate = 0

if from_ga[2] == '49' then -- is from eDLT/lighting Group which mirrors the trigger groups
    to_level = GetTriggerLevel(from_ga[3], from_level)
    if from_level ~= to_level then
    log("Change in Mirror Group " .. tostring(from_ga[3]).. " detected, updating Trigger group to match level " .. tostring(from_level))
      SetTriggerLevel(tonumber(from_ga[3]), from_level)
  end
end

if from_ga[2] == '202' then -- is from trigger control
    to_level = GetCBusLevel(tonumber(from_ga[1]), to_app, tonumber(from_ga[3]))
  if from_level ~= to_level then
      log("Change in Trigger Group " .. tostring(from_ga[3]).. " detected, updating Lighting group to match level " .. tostring(from_level))
    SetCBusLevel(tonumber(from_ga[1]), to_app, tonumber(from_ga[3]), from_level, to_rate)
  end
end

 

Thanks - this is quite useful in general. Makes me wonder what else I can do which isn't documented

 

It's documented under scripting/common functions/scripting basics/general information

 

In which document sorry? I just checked the SHAC User Manual and the Scripting UI but couldn't see this (But likely looking in the wrong place)

 

Open the SHAC configurator and go to scripting.
Select either Common Functions or edit any script.
On the right pane you see all the help.
Select Scripting Basics, then General Information
Voila

 

Found it now! Thanks
