Topic: Can someone explain 2 scripting functions repeat_start_instant and param_bigger

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,

I'm back to creating scripts for Virtual DJ 2020 (v8.4) and am lost trying to understand 2 functions:

1) repeat_start_instant:
- Does this function repeat from the beginning of the script until the repeat_stop? (or)
- Does this function repeat everything after the repeat_start_instant call until the repeat_stop? (or)
- Does this function repeat everything until a delimiter like : and return back to where the repeat_start_instant is called? (or)
- Does it repeat in some other way not mentioned?
(and what if the repeat_stop is never used, will part of the script loop forever until VDJ is closed?)



2) param_bigger: (for example sampler_volume 2 & param_bigger 99% ? true action : false action)
- Do I need a 2nd : after the false action to end the conditional statement if my variable doesn't meet either condition and I want it to bypass the condition?

Welcome back

1 the second one, till the script ends
you can in some cases "break it up" if your script allows it.

repeat_start_instant 'rsiTwoSteps' 30ms 2 & cycle 'counterVar' 2 & var 'counterVar 1 ? FIRST LOAD OF SCRIPT : SECOND LOAD OF SCRIPT

something silly I just thought up, but I'm sure you'll get it

repeat_start_instant 'rsiTwoSteps' 30ms 2 & repeat_start_instant 'rsiFirstStep' !? repeat_start_instant 'rsiFirstStep' 30ms & FIRST LOT OF SCRIPT [since there's no repeat count you'd need a condition to repeat_stop 'rsiFirstStep' ] : repeat_start_instant 'rsiSecondStep' 30ms & repeat_start_instant 'rsiFirstStep' !? SECOND LOT OF SCRIPT [since there's no repeat count you'd need a condition to repeat_stop 'rsiSecondStep' ]

[a rare showing of the '!?' inverse query, useful sometimes]

2 param_bigger is a binary choice, it's either > or its <= .
