Multiple timers

[proton]

Hi again,

I can get this simple task working for some reason:
I have a “trigger” method that when enabled switches 3 of my buttons ON (value 1):

— Called when a modulator value changes
— @mod http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
— @value new numeric value of the modulator

trigger = function(–[[ CtrlrModulator –]] mod, –[[ number –]] value)

ret1 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB001”)
ret1:setValue (1, true)
————————————————————
— /// first timer here to delay the second button ///
————————————————————
ret2 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB002”)
ret2:setValue (1, true)
———————————————————–
— /// second timer here to delay the 3rd button ///
———————————————————–
ret3 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB003″)
ret3:setValue (1, true)
end

It kinda works with just one timer (but sometimes I get timer error on panel loading – maybe ” if ret1 ~= nil than” would help) but with two timers it always goes south or the first timer does not stop and continues forever without letting the second timer to work.
Any ideas or examples for multiple timers in one method ???
Thank You!!!

Do you stop the timers?

yes, something like this:

— Called when a modulator value changes
— @mod http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
— @value new numeric value of the modulator
Trigger = function(–[[ CtrlrModulator –]] mod, –[[ number –]] value)
ret1 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB001”)
ret1:setValue (1, true)
———————————————–
— /// timer:setCallback (0, timerCallback)
— /// timer:startTimer(0,100)
— /// timer:setCallback (0, timerCallback)
———————————————-
ret2 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB002”)
ret2:setValue (1, true)

— // timer:stopTimer(0)

————————————————–
— /// timer:setCallback (1, timerCallback)
— /// timer:startTimer(1,200)
— /// timer:setCallback (1, timerCallback)
————————————————–

ret3 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB003”)
ret3:setValue (1, true)

— // timer:stopTimer(1)

end

This is a strange code for me. Timers are independent functions, so for each timer you have to create a function.

This is how I do it, you call the first timer and from this first timer you call the second timer.

— Called when a modulator value changes
— @mod http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
— @value new numeric value of the modulator
Trigger = function(–[[ CtrlrModulator –]] mod, –[[ number –]] value)
ret1 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB001″)
ret1:setValue (1, true)
———————————————–
— /// timer:setCallback (0, timerCallback0)
— /// timer:startTimer(0,100)
end

function timerCallback0 (timerId)

ret2 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB002″)
ret2:setValue (1, true)

timer:setCallback (1, timerCallback1)
timer:startTimer(1,200)

timer:stopTimer(0)
end

function timerCallback1 (timerId)

ret3 = panel:getModulatorByName(“pB003″)
ret3:setValue (1, true)

timer:stopTimer(1)
end

Oh, yes sure,
I’m copy – pasting here on my iPad from the top of my head but your version looks much better i was totally missing the “function timer Callback0” and Callback1 in my script as I can recall!
Thank You das, I’ll try it as soon as I get home!
Cheers!

Thank You das, works like a charm!
I appreciate it very much!
Have a great day.
