Need a tip to generate a sequence.

[Mark F]

I responded to your other thread (about creating a loop) that asked the same question. :smile:

You are looking for the "multigroup". The multigroup is a list of commands that are executed one after another. Instead of "add command", use "add multigroup". To complete the multigroup, add new commands in it or copy/paste commands to it and learn an event (button) for it. When the button is pressed, the multigroup will execute the commands, in order, from top to bottom.

States have always confused me. :wink:

Any commands that you want to execute as a sequence need to be in the same state.

Hi again.

Well i would like to know if it is possible to create a sequence (Group of commands (events) that are launched one after one (a kind of script if u prefer)

for example i want that one of my button, display something, then launch a software, then ... etc...

any help please!!!???!!!

[giova]

ok so if i understand, commmands must be at the same state, isn't it?

I think i've understood States, so i'm gonna trying to explain what i've discovered:

INFORMATIONS BELOW ARE NOT OFFICIAL, THEY HAVE TO BE CHECKED.

I think u are mostly confused by the checkbox (All exept 1)

The State define the necessary number of time where u have to press the remote's button.

So:
State = 1 => U have to press once
State = 2 => U have to press twice
etc...

(All exept 1 checkbox):
If Unchecked, the command will be Launched when State Become Egal to the Specified State of the command.

If Checked, , the command will be Launched when State will leave the Specified State of the command.

As u said, we can make a "Script" a "Sequence", in this case states must be the same for all commands that u want to be in the "Script". And as u said, commands will be Launched One by One, beginning by the uppest command, and finish with the Bottomlest one.


So if u look at the exemple given in the help file :

"Use one remote with many profiles, how to switch groups on and off."


When Girder Starting, State is egal to 1

So If u press Once, all commands with state egal to 1 and with "All Exept 1" Uncheked will be Launched.

When commands have finished to be Lauched, Girder put automaticly state egal to 2, so :

If U Press a second Time, then All Commands with State egal to 2 and with "All Exept 1" Uncheked, and all commands with state egal to 1 and with "All Exept 1" checked will be Launched.

Then State become egal to 3

If U Press a third Time, then All Commands with State egal to 3 and with "All Exept 1" Uncheked, and all commands with state egal to 2 and with "All Exept 1" checked will be Launched.


Q:Ok so what is the difference between
command with State 1 and "All execpt 1" checked, and commands with State 2 and "All execpt 1" unchecked?

A:Nothing, behavours are the same for the both, it is just to make your Group easyer to read , analyse, and so modify.

Hope, i've be Right and clear enough.
Sorry for my poor English
