Trouble With Multiple Directives and #focused

alexs1

Testing out #focused in b43, I've noticed there are some issues with running multiple directives.

Here is the script I'm using for reference:
#name FCB Record/Sub/PrevLoop
#repeat 300
#sustain 400
#focused

if mode == :reset
Record

if mode == :record
Record

if mode == :substitute
Play

if mode == :play
Overdub

if mode == :overdub
Overdub

function OnRepeat {
if repeatCount == 1 Substitute
}

function OnSustain {
if sustainCount == 1 PrevLoop
}

What happens when I try to run it on multiple Focus-locked tracks is that it only seems to execute on one track and somehow processes the repeat function (on that one track). When I remove #repeat and #sustain, the script is working as expected. Haven't had much luck in general getting double-click or sustain to work with #focused or in focused, fwiw.

alexs1 Oh, good find!

When the second trigger comes in, it looks around for any script that is waiting for a repeat on that trigger. With #focused there may now be more than one, but it's only finding and processing the first one.

Not using #focused and using in is also an interesting case. Since there is only one script running, you would need to use in inside the OnRepeat as well:

#repeat
in focused Play
function OnRepeat {
  in focused Mute
}

Repeating a script is like starting it over from the beginning, but just jumping into the OnRepeat. OnRepeat doesn't know that "in focused Play" was done the last time the script ran, so you have to do the in again to target the same tracks. Another thing #focused makes simpler, if it worked.

Gotcha! Is that a quirk of the build, then? Or is there a way to revise the script to have them work on focused tracks?

That's a bug, I just fixed it but until then you'll need to not use #focused and instead use "in focused" in both the main script body, and inside the OnRepeat
