  • Hi All
    Engineer mode is useful, but you have to be in front of your computer. Any supporters for making the 10 default customisable cells in Engineer Mode accessible within triggers? It would be very handy and should be an easy change as the values must already be stored within the program as names. For example, cell one could be called engineer1 and so on. You could carry out a calculation in engineer mode (say backvolume*backamount) and:
    1. Fire a bet in a trigger if that value exceeded the figure for any selection etc.
    2. Access the value by selection within a trigger: s_1_engineer1 is > 15 etc.
    The screen part of MF Pro has lots of ways to set up variables that are not available within triggers, so this would be useful.
    Regards

  • Hi Ed,

    What prevents you from using any of the expressions you watch in the Engineer mode in your triggers? Why do you need an alias, e.g. engineer1, to check its value?

  • Hi Oxa
    Really struggling with a trigger. I want to:
    1. Have a user variable that is the calculation each resfresh for every selection in a race: it's something like back_price * back_amount.
    2. Have another variable that holds the highest value to date for the variable in No.1  i.e it checks value of Variable No.1 each refresh with this variable and, if it's higher, rewrites Variable No.2 with the new, higher value in Variable No.1.
    3. After the trigger has been running for at least 2 minutes I fire a bet off if the value exceeds the highest figure recxorded to date.
    I've returned tp MF Pro after a long lay off and version 7 is quite different (much better on the whole). However, I thought in version 6 I could:
    A. Set a user variable name that contained a selection variable such as sel_index_myvariablename and then it would create a variable for each of the runners. Then I'd be sailing and this would be easy.
    B. Please correct me if I'm wrong but the remember variable can't hold the result of calculations on the selection variables thart are remembered.
    Bit confused, because I can see that on the home screen I can even define new variables and in engineer mode, also. I've read the manual twice but am being a bit thick about this!
    Regards
    Ed.
