Break Script

[Linton9]

Hi,

I've created a script which repeats itself using "WDCustomScriptClick,1" at the end of the script.

What I need now is the script to break this loop and stop it from repeating indefinitely.

Cheers

Hi Linton,

you could do it this way:
Create a normal button (not CS button) and the following node chain: button input node --> script output node.
In the script node, enter:
if Button input value = 1
then "your script list", and as last script [WDButtonClick,'ID'].

As soon as you press the button, the script cycle starts.
To break this routine, there are several possibilities.
1. (pausing the routine): create a CS Button with the script [WDNodeDisableOutput,'NodeID'], to continue the routine, use [WDNodeEnableOutput,'NodeID'].
2. (stopping the routinge): create a CS Button with the script [WDNodeSetParam,'NodeID','ParamID','Value']. With this you can change the Button ID parameter inside the Button Input Node (displayed with the little index 1) to eg. 0, so the script output node won't get a new trigger. To be able to start the routine again via Buttonclick, set the Button parameter ID back to its origin value.

Hope this is not confusing..

Best regards,
Julia

Julia,

Should have mentioned I am using Widget Designer standard, not pro...

So the node related stuff wont work - correct?

Cheers for your response! Hope there's a way without nodes! Keep us posted...
