-BlackOut
+==== Intro ====
-BlackOut
-Brightness
-Brightness 100 // 0..100 (percents)
-BrightnessDelta
+Currently, the main purpose of "scripting" is ability to add custom relation on various events, like a MIDI, DMX, ArtNet, Channels. The script typically has a few lines, and a line has one Command. Command may have a parameters. Typically parameter is a number (constant).
-BrightnessDelta 0
-CaptureToClipboard
-CaptureToClipboard
-ChannelOut
+==== Numbers ====
-ChannelOut 1, 1000 // set first channel to 1000 (max value)
-ClickFXStopAll
+Supported float point , integer and hexadecimal numbers. As example:
-ClickFXStopAll
+-20
+.01
+xBF
+All hexadecimal numbers much have 0x prefix, similar to C language, but without ending H
-ClickFXTabMode
+There is not strict separation on integer and float point numbers.
-ClickFXTabMode 1 // 1-Master, 2-Cue, 3-Zone, 4-ProTrack
-ClickFlash
+Separator between command parameter could be space (" ") or a comma (",")
-ClickFlash   // optional argument: 1 or 2 (Grid number)
-ClickFxVlj
-ClickFxVlj 1 // Toggle first FX-VLJ
-ClickLCTabMode
+==== Special characters (separators) ====
-ClickLCTabMode 1 // 1-Master, 2-Cue, 3-Zone, 4-ProTrack
-ClickLive
-ClickLive   // optional argument: 1 or 2 (Grid number)
-ClickLockSize
+ '.', ';', ',', ':', '!', '�', '''', '^', '+', '-', '*', '\', ' ',
-ClickLockSize 1  //0,1,2 Off, On, toggle
+ '`', '[', ']', '(', ')', '{', '}', '?', '%','|','&','=':

-ClickScrollA
-ClickScrollA -5 // scroll speed, recommended -5..-1, or 1..5. Zero will stop.
-ClickScrollAniSpeed
+==== Predefined constants ====
-ClickScrollAniSpeed -5 // scroll speed, recommended -5..-1, or 1..5. Zero will stop.
-ClickScrollB
-ClickScrollB -5 // scroll speed, recommended -5..-1, or 1..5. Zero will stop.

-ClickScrollColor -5 // scroll speed, recommended -5..-1, or 1..5. Zero will stop.
+TRUE - numeric analog 1
+FALSE - numeric analog 0
+ANY equal to numeric -1. Used in a few WaitFor command
+OFF equal to numeric 0
+ON equal to numeric 1
+TOGGLE equal to numeric 2
+AsIs equal to -2.
+This is required for commands like "MasterPause". I hope it should be handy to see ON or OFF instead of 0 or 1.
-ClickScrollFade
+A few examples of using commands:
-ClickScrollFade -5 // scroll speed, recommended -5..-1, or 1..5. Zero will stop.
+  VirtualLJ off
+  MasterPause Toggle
+  WaitForMidi 0x90, 10, Any

+Syntax: if ( expression )  operator
-ClickScrollZoom -5 // scroll speed, recommended -5..-1, or 1..5. Zero will stop.
-ClickSelect
+expression - covered with brackets. Must be an expression with
-ClickSelect  // optional argument: 1 or 2 (Grid number)
+numerical result that gives "0" or not a "0". So, for numerical
+variable it's possible to write "if (variable) ...".
-ClickSoloFlash
+Compare operators are: ">" ">=" "<" "<=" "=" "<>". They produces numerical result "0" or "1".
-ClickSoloFlash   // optional argument: 1 or 2 (Grid number)
-ClickTCTabMode
+You can combine comparing operations with "&" and "|" bit-wise operators (but be sure that left and right side are "0" or "1"). It's recommended to cover complex operations into brackets - like "if ((1>2) & ((3+2)>1))"
-ClickTCTabMode 1 // 1-Master, 2-Cue, 3-Zone, 4-ProTrack
-ClickToggle
+operator will be executed if condition gets non-zero result. If you want to place other operator after "if (condition) operator" - it must be divided with ";" - but it's better to place next operator on the next line ;-)
-ClickToggle  // optional argument: 1 or 2 (Grid number)
-ClickTrack
+=== GOTO operator ===
-ClickTrack   // optional argument: 1 or 2 (Grid number)
-CloseUmax
-CloseUmax
-CodeColorMarker
+Syntax:  goto label
-CodeColorMarker 0x00FF00 // green color marker
-CodeName
+"label" is  a name of position for a jump. The label can be placed before any operator and separated by ":"  character. As example:
-CodeName "MyCode" // define name of
-CodeShortcut
+mylabel: WaitForBeat 4
-CodeShortcut "Ctrl+D"
+... do something...
+goto mylabel
-ColorBGR
-ColorBGR 0x0000FF // blue color
-ColorOn
+Operator GOTO can work with the labels inside the string variables. It means that you declare string variable, assign a label name to variable, and then you a variable in GOTO.
-ColorOn 1// 1-enabled, 0-disabled
+Example:
-ColorRGB
+var s
-ColorRGB 0x0000FF // red color,
+s="mylabel"
+goto s
-ColorSlider
+DisplayPopup "It does not work"
-ColorSlider 0 // 0..255
+exit
-ColorSliderDelta
+mylabel:
-ColorSliderDelta 0
+DisplayPopup "It works"
-ControlCue
-ControlCue 1,1
-ControlFromFxTab
-ControlFromFxTab
-ControlFromLcTab
-ControlFromLcTab

+=== VAR operator ===
-ControlFromTcTab
-ControlFromUI
-ControlFromUI
-ControlMaster
+PangoScript allow define local variables. The lifetime for the local variable defined by lifetime of the Scripter that execute PangoScript. As soon as the Scripter freed, all its local variables are removed as well.
-ControlMaster
-ControlProTrack
+All variables must be declared before the using. No need to specify the type of variable. The variable automatically adjust the type depending on value. Internally supported integer, float and string variables.
-ControlProTrack 1
+The declaration start from VAR operation and the follow one or more variable names. As example:
-ControlProjector
+var MyVariable
-ControlProjector 1
+var a,b,c
-ControlSelCues
+Before using the variable must be initialized by some value. Otherwise BEYOND will generate error and stop script execution. Example:
-ControlSelCues
+var MyInteger, MyString
+MyInteger = 10
+MyString = "Hello!"
-ControlSelProTracks
+All variables declared as VAR are local.
-ControlSelProTracks
-ControlSelZones
-ControlSelZones
-ControlZone
+GLOBALVAR operator
-ControlZone 1 // name as "Main Graphics", or zone number 1...N
+The variable can be declared as global. In this case, it visible in ALL scripts of BEYOND.

-HtmlClearBody
-HtmlClearHead
-HtmlClearHead
-HtmlHead
+There are a few functions for access of incoming data
-HtmlHead
-HtmlHide
+Dmx ( Channel, OutputMin, OutputMax )
-HtmlHide
+Parameters:
+Channel - index of DMX channel, acceptable value from 1 to 2048
+OutputMin, OutputMax - defines the range resulting value of the function. Oupout value will start from OutputMin and increase up to OutputMax
+result  = OutputMin +  (DmxChannelValue / 255) * (OutputMax-OutputMin)
-HtmlUpdate
+Example:
-HtmlUpdate
+  Position Dmx(10, -100, 100), Dmx(11, -100, 100), Dmx(12, -100, 100)
-Hue
+in this example we use Position command that has 3 arguments - X,Y,Z and we use DMX IN values (three channels, 10,11,12), and map the values range -100 to +100.
-Hue 0
-HueDelta
+Dmx ( Channel  )
-HueDelta 0
+or
+Dmx( Channel, OutputMin, OutputMax)
+Parameters:
+Channel - index of DMX channel, acceptable value from 1 to 2048
+Result of the function is value of DMX channel as it is, without anr range adjustments
-HueShift
+OutputMin, OutputMax - defines the range resulting value of the function. Output value will start from OutputMin and increase up to OutputMax. Internally channels are normalized to 0...1 range
-HueShift 0
+result  = OutputMin +  (ChannelValue) * (OutputMax-OutputMin)
+Example:
+  DisplayPopup Dmx(10) // display the value of 10th DMX channel.
-HueShiftDelta
+Note: version with min/max used for simplification of use of function in operators where you may need to transform DMX value range (0..255) to some other range. As example Size operator, you may want to use size range like 0...100, or 10...100, or -100..100.
-HueShiftDelta 0
-InRangeTrigger
+Channel ( Channel, OutputMin, OutputMax )
-InRangeTrigger 0,100,"MyLabel" // Min Value, Max Value, Label name
+or
+Channel( Channel )
-InRangeTriggerCmd
+Parameters:
-InRangeTriggerCmd 0,100,"Blackout" // Min Value, Max Value, Command
+Channel - index of Channel, acceptable value from 1 to 255
+OutputMin, OutputMax - defines the range resulting value of the function. Output value will start from OutputMin and increase up to OutputMax. Internally channels are normalized to 0...1 range
+result  = OutputMin +  (ChannelValue) * (OutputMax-OutputMin)
-IncreaseTrigger
+If function has one argument then result is normalized channel value (range from 0 to 1)
-IncreaseTrigger 0,100,"MyLabel" // Min Value, Max Value, Label name
-InvertPlayersTime
+Example:
-InvertPlayersTime
+  Size Channel(10, 5, 100), ChannelIn(10, 5, 100), ChannelIn(10, 5, 100),
-InvertProTrackTime
+in this example we use Size command that has 3 arguments - X, Y,Z and we use Channel 10 value for all 3 axis.
-InvertProTrackTime
-InvertRotationX
+Channel ( Channel )
-InvertRotationX
+Parameters:
+Channel - index of Channel, acceptable value from 1 to 255
+Result of the function is channel value. Channel value is normalized, the range from 0 to 1.
-InvertRotationY
-InvertRotationY
-InvertRotationZ
+CC (Channel, Controller, OutputMin, OutputMax)
-InvertRotationZ
+Get a value of of MIDI controller. BEYOND memorize all values of incoming MIDI controllers (Contrl Change Message) and you can get an access to it.
+Channel - value 0..15
+Controller - value 0..127. Thsi is Data1 in MIDI messages
+OutputMin, OutputMax - defines the range resulting value. Result  = OutputMin +  (ChannelValue/127) * (OutputMax-OutputMin)
-LessThanTrigger
-LessThanTrigger 0,"MyLabel" // Value, Label name
-LinePerCycle
+ExtValue( OutputMin, OutputMax )
-LinePerCycle 24
+There are a few pretty big tables of code-sources. A tables such as DMX, ArtNet, ControlChange, PitchBand, NoteOn initiated by channel/message that has a value. This function allow get access to the channel that intiate the code. Better explain on example. Lets say I want to connect DMX channel to Master Live Control, Position X. In this case, code that will do ths is this:
+    PositionIndex 1, ExtValue(-100,100)
+In this example PositionIndex is a live control command, see below. 1 is index of axis. And finally ExtValue() is a fuction that take DMX channel value in map to rangle -100 to 100.
-LoadCue
+ExtDelta( Delta )
-LoadCue "c:\MyAnimationFile.bani" // Enter correct file name!
+Function equal to ExtValue but made specially for MIDI encoders. There are many controlled with wheels and knobs that generate Control Change message and the data2 value is 00 or 7F. That is all, no values in between. For such cases has a sense to use "delta" version of commands and ExtDelta() for getting exact value of delta. Function return -Delta or +Delta. Only two values, no exceptions. Example of use
-LoadCueFromBlob
+PositionDelta 0, ExtDelta(1), 0   // move vertically.
-<internal commmand>
-LoadPlaylist
+another example:
-LoadPlaylist "c:\MyPlaylist.BeyondSL"
-LoadWorkspace
+AngleDelta 0,0, ExtDelta(45) // rotate by Z on 45 degrees.
-LoadWorkspace "c:\MyWorkspace.BeyondWorkspace" // Enter correct file name!
-LoadZoneFromBlob
+Random( MaxValue )
-<internal commmand>
+Function return random value in range 0..MaxValue. Note, MaxValue included into the range
-MakeSecuredFile
+RandomIn( MinValue, MaxValue )
-MakeSecuredFile "Input file name", "Output file name", ClientHardwareSerial
+Functino return random value in range MinValue..MaxValue
-ManualBeat
+Param( ParamIndex ) - newer name of OscParam() function. It get the value of parameter supplied into the script. See commend about OscParam()
-ManualBeat
-MasterAudioVolume
+OscParam( ParamIndex )
-MasterAudioVolume 100 // in percents
+Specialy designed for use in "OSC to CODE" table.. When BEYOND receive OSC message and supply it into interpreter to execution, then we can supply up to 10 parameters with OSC message. BEYOND put them into local array, and you may use it inside the Code. Note, data is there only during execution of current script. As soon  we exit from execution of this script, data will be lost. OK, parameter index is from 1 up to 10. BEYOND check how many parameters the OSC message has, and if you will try to access non existing paramater then script will stop with error. So, if OSC message has 3 parameters, then you can use index from 1 to 3. Accepts f, i, and s type of OSC parameters. You can freely mix float and integer.
-MasterAudioVolumeMute
+ParamRange( MinValue, MaxValue) function return TRUE (1)  if the first parameter inside the specified range.
-MasterAudioVolumeMute 1 // On(1), Off(0), Toggle(2)

-OscOutTTS
+A few words about commands of BEYOND. Each command of BEYOND has information about:
-OscOutTTS "","" // Address, Type Tag String, Arguments (optional)
+Sender - who initiated the command
+Server - who is recipient / server of the command. As example - zone, cue, master, and so on
+Server index - index of server, of there are many such servers. As example - Projection Zone
+Command - the command itself
+Arguments - depends on exact commands.
-OutOfRangeTrigger
+Lets consider example. We want to set the size of second projection zone to 50%. In this case, command will have such values
-OutOfRangeTrigger 0,100,"MyLabel" // Min Value, Max Value, Label name
+Sender - BEYOND set it automatically, no worry about
+Server - Zone
+Server index - 2
+Command - Size
+Arguments - 50,50,50
-OutOfRangeTriggerCmd
+For the script, to make a complex command that include all fields is not practical. Because the process has two parts. The first part - you define the destination. By default it is Master. The second part is a Command itself. BEYOND memorize the setting of destination and all consequent commands will use it.
-OutOfRangeTriggerCmd 0,100,"Blackout" // Min Value, Max Value, Command

-Position
+==== Property Animation ====
-Position 0,0,0 // X,Y,Z position.
-PositionDelta
-PositionDelta 0,0,0 // X,Y,Z
-PositionIndex
+Property animation designed for linear change of property from one state to another during some period of time. Technically, this is sort of micro script, but BEYOND does this job automatically. Internally BEYOND has internal list of the tasks for object property animation. The list is dynamic. The only way to create request for property animation is a script.
-PositionIndex 1,0 // one axiz only: 1 is X, 2 is Y, 3 is Z. Second paramater is Value, 0 center, 100 is max
-PositionX
+Note, the execution of property animation performed right after execution of all script by dedicated thread of BEYOND. The time resolution is ~ 40 "FPS".  For animation of laser related properties it might be not perfect because laser projector frame rate may be much higher.
-PositionX 0 //-100..100
-PositionY
+AnimateProp PropertyName,  StartValue, FinishValue, DurationMS, FinishEvent
-PositionY 0 //-100..100
+PropertyName - string that contain complete name of object and its property. The property must be numeric.
+StartValue - number. Specify start value of the property during animation
+FinishValue - number. Specify final value of the property during animation.
+DurationMS - duration of animation in milliseconds
+FinishEvent - optional parameter, string. Specify name of Event that will be activated at the end of animation. Action equal to call of PulseEvent() procedure.
-PositionZ
+Exmaple:
-PositionZ 0 //-100..100
+AnimapeProp "Master.Brightness", 100, 0, 1000
+// command change value of Master brightness from 100% to zero during 1000 ms (one second)
-PreviewMaster

-ReStartCell
+BEYOND offer more functions that can be mapped to MIDI sliders/buttons of overage MIDI console has. The soluion is map a few function to one slider, and enable only one of them. For making this possible BEYOND intoduce conception of "layers". You organize some set of functions grouped into layers, and after that you can change the layer, what give quick access to the groups of functions.
-RestartCell // restart current cell
-ReStoreZoneSelection
+MIDI Sufrace Layering allow connect multiple BEYOND features to one MIDI command (message). Layeing work with Main Grid, Secondary Grid, Sufrace Buttons, Surface Sliders, FX and Zone selection. Currently available 12 layers. Counting starts from 1 and up to 12. The function of BEYOND may belong to more than one layer. In this case this function stay active in all layers where it enabled. If the function of BEYOND is not enabled in current layer, then it will not react on assigned MIDI message, same as will not generate a feedback messages.
-ReStoreZoneSelection
-RebootConnectedFB4
+Simplified Layer control.
-RebootConnectedFB4 // If you need to use this command then please contact Pangolin (report@pangolin.com) and tell what is wrong with your FB4. Thanks.
-RefreshDmxIn
+Each MIDI Mapping object has preperty Layer. When you write to this propetry then it change Layer of all tables. Such operation equal to using of 12 commands descrived below.

-ResetPosition
+"Trigger" is a special mode for the scripter. The trigger as two part - Definition and Action. The the Definition part you define the type of the trigger, range of values and labels for corresponding sections of code. In the Action part has one or more code sections that will be activated - depending on the definition. Lets talk a bit more about when trigger may be in help and why it done this way.
-ResetPosition
-ResetProTrackFX
+The simplest and classic example is when DMX  come into some range of values, and the fact that the value is in range now it create some reaction. If the is not the same as "if value is in range then we do something". No., It is like - we do it every time as value come into the range. The next time it will happen when the value will go out of range and back to the range.
-ResetProTrackFX
-ResetRotation
+No doubt it is possible to make a trigger by means for "standard" PangoScrtipt commands, but it require much more complex script code, more lines, and at the end it will be more slow. The Trigger use a hybrid method. You define what to check and the ranges, and BEYOND software do the idle job for you - BEYOND read the state and compare with ranges, take care about the state and other things. All it done in native code. If you will do it all in PangoScript then it will require much more CPU time. So, this part can be more optimal. What say in PangoScript is a reaction (action). You need to define a section(s) of code that will be activated.
-ResetRotation
-ResetRotationX
-ResetRotationX
-ResetRotationY
+Trigger definition commands
-ResetRotationY
-ResetRotationZ
+DefineDmxTrigger ChannelIndex - this command set the scripter into trigger mode, and define that trigger react on DMX channel number "ChannelIndex "
-ResetRotationZ
-ResetZonesFX
+DefineMidiTrigger Message, Data1 - this command set the scripter into trigger mode, and define that trigger react on MIDI message. You need to specify the message n
-ResetZonesFX
-Restart
+DefineTrigger String-Expression, Caption - this command set the scripter into trigger mode, and define that trigger depends on expression. The expression is math formula. it has a syntax of string. The dumb exampe: DefineTrigger "2+2".  In this example 2+2 is expression. But, according to syntax of this command we put expression inside "..". The Caption is just text string for PangoScript tab
-Restart
-RestartCue
+The top level logic of these command is this. The most possible, the triggers will work with  MIDI and DMX consoles. The trigger must be fix, and effective, because it will work on a high speed, because we have a trigger specially made for MIDI and DMX. BEYOND precalculate values and do it all in native code. But, not doubt will appear a need in some universal method, and in this case will help universal command DefineTrigger. This command work with expression, it is more slow because BEYOND need to calculate expression all the time, but it is very flexible, and work for all types of input data. You can use objects, variables, functions, expression and so on. It can work with Audio, Kinect or DMX, Universe or GamePad and any mix of this. So, for DefineTrigger we need to supply text of expression to trigger engine, and it is a string.
-RestartCue 1,1 // page, cue
-RestorePlayer
-RestorePlayer
-ResyncByCueClick
+Trigger range commands
-ResyncByCueClick On  // options: On, Off, Toggle
-RotoSpeed
+Here a formal description of commands, examples and logic after that.
-RotoSpeed 0,0,0  // rotation speed by X,Y,Z axis. degree.
-RotoSpeedDelta
+InRangeTrigger MinValue, MaxValue, LabelName
-RotoSpeedDelta 0,0,0 // increment of rotation speed. X,Y,Z axis.
+The action will be activated when values comes in range between MinValue and MaxValue. When it happen the scripter does goto to LabelName
+MinValue - number, a minimum value of the range
+MaxValue - number, a maximum value of the range
+LabelName - string that contain label name
-RotoSpeedX
+InRangeTriggerCmd MinValue, MaxValue, Command
-RotoSpeedX 0 // rotation speed, degree
+The action will be activated when values comes in range between MinValue and MaxValue. When it happen the scripter execute Command.
+MinValue - number, a minimum value of the range
+MaxValue - number, a maximum value of the range
+Command- string that contain a PangoScript command
-RotoSpeedY
-RotoSpeedY 0 // rotation speed, degree
-RotoSpeedZ
+OutOfRangeTrigger MinValue, MaxValue, LabelName
-RotoSpeedZ 0 // rotation speed, degree
+The action will be activated when values comes out of range of MinValue and MaxValue. When it happen the scripter does goto to LabelName.
+MinValue - number, a minimum value of the range
+MaxValue - number, a maximum value of the range
+LabelName - string that contain label name
-RunApp
+OutOfRangeTriggerCmd MinValue, MaxValue, Command
-RunApp "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe", "" // full exe file name, parameters
+The action will be activated when values goes out of range of MinValue and MaxValue. When it happen the scripter execute Command.
+MinValue - number, a minimum value of the range
+MaxValue - number, a maximum value of the range
+Command- string that contain a PangoScript command
-Saturation
-Saturation 0
-SaturationDelta
+IncreaseTrigger MinValue, MaxValue, LabelName
-SaturationDelta 0
+The action will be activated when value increase and stay in range of MinValue and MaxValue. When it happen the scripter does goto to LabelName.
+MinValue - number, a minimum value of the range
+MaxValue - number, a maximum value of the range
+LabelName - string that contain label name
-ScanRate
-ScanRate 100
-ScanRateDelta
+DecreaseTrigger MinValue, MaxValue, LabelName
-ScanRateDelta 0
+The action will be activated when value decrease and stay in range of MinValue and MaxValue. When it happen the scripter does goto to LabelName.
+MinValue - number, a minimum value of the range
+MaxValue - number, a maximum value of the range
+LabelName - string that contain label name
-SelectAllCat
+About the logic
-SelectAllCat
-SelectAndFocusZone
+The most simple is InRangeTrigger command. When values comes in range, then something happen. We can define a few ranges, and when value comes into the range then something will happen. What will happen? We considered a few options, and appeared that in simplest case one simple command will be enough. I mean, Blackout, or EnableLaserOutput, or StopAllCue , who knows. In many cases one command will be enough. But, what is not enough? I this case we should do goto to a second of code. In fact, you simply put a name of label, and BEYOND will do a goto (this process is optimized too). So, we have two options - Command or Label for Goto.
-SelectAndFocusZone 1 // zone index, 1..N.
-SelectCat
+There is inverted version of InRangeTrigger - OutOfRange trigger. The only different is goes to be activated when value goes out of range. All the rest is equal. There in Min and Max value, and there version of command for Command and for Label.
-SelectCat 1 // category index, 1..N.
-SelectCatName
+The third variation of trigger allow define reaction on the increase or decrease of the value. it work like this: scripter memorize current value, and if the new value is bigger (or smaller) than current state then it active the trigger.  Command IncreaseTrigger create a reaction when new value is more than current. Command DecreaseTrigger create a reaction when new value is less than current.
-SelectCatName "Graphics" // define correct Category name.
-SelectCue
+No doubt, we can add more commands, add more functionality to trigger. The range oriented commands is a classic. The increase/decrease has a practical use too.
-SelectCue "Cue01" // Enter correct Cue name!
-SelectFixt
+Rule of 3 words: Type, Range, Interaction
-SelectFixt 0 // index(es) or name(s)
+T - type of the trigger - DMX, or MIDI, or universal
+R  - range,  when value in range the we do something
+I - interaction, the trigger is only a way to do some action, we need define what it will do.
-SelectGrid
+Example 1: Enable/Disable laser output from MIDI
-SelectGrid 1 // 1-main grid, 2-grid at bottom. 0-recently active
-SelectMidi
+DefineMidiTrigger 0xB0, 0x00, "Enable Laser test"
-SelectMidi 1 // select MIDI device pair, 1..4.
+InRangeTriggerCmd 0,63,"DisableLaserOutput"
+InRangeTriggerCmd 64,127,"EnableLaserOutput"
-SelectNextCat
+This trigger react in the MDI slider 0xB0, 0x00, and has values in range of 0..127. When slider in lower half the laser output will be disables, and when in higher half, then output will be disables. Now command bby comamnd:
-SelectNextCat
-SelectNextCatGrid1
+DefineMidiTrigger 0xB0, 0x00, "Enable Laser test"
-SelectNextCatGrid1
+DefineMidiTrigger  is  command
+xB0, 0x00 - this is slider parameter
+"Enable Laser test"  - this is optional parameter - caption of this scripter
-SelectNextPage
-SelectNextPage
-SelectNextPageGrid1
+InRangeTriggerCmd 0,63,"DisableLaserOutput"
-SelectNextPageGrid1
+InRangeTriggerCmd - command, define the range and command
+,63 - the range
+"DisableLaserOutput" - command as string.
-SelectNextTab
-SelectNextTab
-SelectNextTabGrid1
+InRangeTriggerCmd 64,127,"EnableLaserOutput"
-SelectNextTabGrid1
+InRangeTriggerCmd - command that define second range
+,127 - second range
+"EnableLaserOutput" - command that will be executed.
-SelectPage
-SelectPage 1 // tab index, 1..N.
-SelectPageName
-SelectPageName "Graphics" // define Page name!
-SelectPrevCat
+Example 2: Same as example 1, but with goto
-SelectPrevCat
-SelectPrevCatGrid1
+DefineMidiTrigger 0xB0, 0x00, "Enable Laser test 2"
-SelectPrevCatGrid1
+InRangeTrigger 0,63, "D1"  // D1 is a name of  label, see below
+InRangeTrigger 64,127, "D2" // D2 is a name of  label, see below
+exit // we need to exit because we should stop script execution after the declaration
-SelectPrevPage
+D1:  // this is label used 1st range
-SelectPrevPage
+DisplayPreview "Disable" // visual indication in Preview panel
+DisableLaserOutput // Commamd
+exit // we should stop script execution, otherwise it will do below
-SelectPrevPageGrid1
+D2: // this is label used 2nd range
-SelectPrevPageGrid1
+DisplayPreview "Ensable" // visual indication in Preview panel
+EnableLaserOutput
+exit // we should stop script execution. This is good practice to have it.
-SelectPrevTab
+Commentaries for this example. The script itself is bigger, and there are sections for definition and for corresponding scripts. There are two typical mistakes
-SelectPrevTab
+. Do not forger to put exit instruction
+. Ensure that label name in code and in definition is the same. Otherwise, it will not work. Label is case sensitive.
-SelectPrevTabGrid1
+And general advice - use DisplayPreview, DisplayPopup or qlog for debug purpose. It might be good idea to create a trigger definition with all jumps, and put inside commands like DipsplayPreview only, without real functionality. Once you see that the logic works fine, the put there the rest of code.
-SelectPrevTabGrid1
-SelectProTrack
-SelectProTrack 1 // index(es) (1..N) or name(string). Can be used more than one argument
-SelectProjector
+Example 3: Slider at first time do Enable Laser, and and second time Disable Laser
-SelectProjector 1 // index(es) (1..N) or name(string). Can be used more than one argument
-SelectTab
+This code based on previous, but it use variable. Variable organize a
-SelectTab 1  // tab index, 1..N.
-SelectTabName
+DefineMidiTrigger 0xB0, 0x00, "Enable Laser test 3"
-SelectTabName "Graphics" // define Page name!
+InRangeTrigger 64,127, "Trick1"
+var counter // declare variable
+counter=0 // initialize variable
+exit
-SelectZone
-SelectZone 1 // zone index, 1..N.
-SelectZoneName
+Trick1:
-SelectZoneName "Main Graphics" // enter Zone name
+DisplayPreview Counter  // debug action
+if (Counter=0) EnableLaserOutput  // action when Count is 0
+if (Counter=1) DisableLaserOutput // action when Count is 1
+Counter=(Counter+1) % 2 // increment counter and divide by modulus 2, so, it will be 0,1,0,1,0,1 and so on
+exit // stop this section
-SetActiveGrid
-SetActiveGrid 1 // or 2
-SetAttractionSlider
+Example 4: The same as example 4, but with Goto
-SetAttractionSlider 10
-SetAudioGain
+DefineMidiTrigger 0xB0, 0x00, "Enable Laser test 3"
-SetAudioGain 10 // 1..15
+InRangeTrigger 64,127, "Trick1"
+var counter
+counter=1
+exit
-SetAudioInGain
+Trick1:
-SetAudioInGain 10 // 1 is min, 15 is max, 10 default
+DisplayPreview Counter
+Counter=(Counter+1) % 2
+if (Counter=0) goto When0
+if (Counter=1) goto When1
+exit
-SetAudioInRelease
+When0:
-SetAudioInRelease 75 // 1 is min, 99 is max (slowest) 75 is default
+EnableLaserOutput
+exit
-SetAudioRelease
+When1:
-SetAudioRelease 75 // 1..99
+DisableLaserOutput
+exit
-SetBpm
+Well, example, is similar, and show that you can use additional Goto instructions.
-SetBpm 120
-SetBpmDelta
+Example 5
-SetBpmDelta 1
-SetButtonMSL
+What I want to demonstrate by this example - BEYOND does a goto when it execute a trigger. It means this. You can do goto by means of script command. But trigger engine use the same goto. Look a the code, comments below
-SetButtonMSL 1
-SetChannelToChannelRatio
-SetChannelToChannelRatio 0 // 0..100
-SetCueCaptionColor
+DefineMidiTrigger 0xB0, 0x00, "Enable Laser test 3"

+Two ranges, and main action in range of 64..127. The main action is after label Trick1. It has a dead loop. At least, it looks like dead loop. You see message panel with Yes and No and it will work until you move the slider down. It will break this endless loop.

+Example 7: Out of range.
-writeln "Hello world!"
-ZoneFXTimeScale
+This example based on previous. The only change is OutOfRangeTrigger. This section will be activate when BPM is too slow or too  fast. This is only example without big sense, but it it easy to test, because you can see BPM value on toolbar and have the slider that control it.
