Script Enabling/Disabling

Hi All,

Need a bit of assistance please, how do i force this script to run when enabled.

value=GetTriggerLevel(002)

if value==0 then
SetTriggerLevel(000, 003)
elseif value==1 then
SetTriggerLevel(000, 004)
elseif value==2 then
SetTriggerLevel(000, 005)
elseif value==3 then
SetTriggerLevel(000, 006)
end

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Mike

 

Not sure what you mean here. Are you trying the enable/disable the script programatically, or just get it to run when Trigger Group 2 changes?

As an aside, you can replace all that with

Code:

SetTriggerLevel(000, GetTriggerLevel(002) + 3)

 

Hi Ashley,

Yes wanted it to run when it was enabled, changed it from event based to resident and it now works.

Thanks for assistance.

 

If you run this as a resident based script it will be issuing Cbus commands every time the script executes. You don't say how often you are running this but if it's every few seconds or less you are continuously outputting a lot of data which is not a good thing.

It should be an event based script set up on Trigger GA 2. That way the script will only run when the trigger level changes.

 

It is currently running once every 60 seconds only when enabled. the issue i was having was once the script was enabled it wasnt checking to see if trigger 002 had changed.

 

Were you enabling the script manually or programatically? It seems to work fine for me as an event based script.

 

Script was enabling after event, if the trig changed whilst enabled it worked fine but it wouldn't react when enabled if no change.

 

I see. You wanted the script to run immediately it was enabled to update its state. Unfortunately events don't work like this. Personally I think event based scripts should run when first saved or enabled as you want them set up the initial conditions. Might be a good suggestion for a future update (assuming there are any ).

I'm curious as to why you need to disable and enable it continuously?

 

this is a bar that has set schedules that trigger scenes when open, otherwise they are in staff mode (Full lighting). when they open (times differ everyday week to week) they need the correct scene to activate.
