[TR] Addition to existing trigger

Could I request an amendment to a trigger you wrote for me please?

Trigger name is avb.mft dated 23/10/2015.

I would like to add a condition to the AvB selection to back the one carrying the lesser weight.
The form figure condition can remain as is.

Thanks again,
bobh

Hello!

Please attach the trigger file to be amended.

Humblest apologies, I was simply waiting to see the trigger pop up in the triggered betting screen, and did not realise you had replied to me!

Trigger file is attached.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Please specify what you mean by "the one carrying the lesser weight". As far as I understand, you are referring to a weight that the horse is loaded with, not the horse's own rate, right? In that case it can be either Jockey's Claim (which is not always claimed) or the "Extra equipment" field, which is a string field and sometimes remains empty or contains non-numeric values.

So what is it you want to measure as weight in this case?

Hi Oxa,

I mean the weight allotted by the handicapper, ie silk_weight.

In the AvB market, I am just looking to have a condition that would select the horse carrying the less silk_weight.

I hope that explains the request.

Sorry, there is still something I need to clarify about your request.

Do you want to only back on the chosen selection (after it has satisfied all the existing conditions in your backing trigger) if its weight is the minimum out of all other horses participating in that race? Or only if its weight is less than the weight of the other horse in the AvB market.

Hi Oxa,

Apologies, but the time difference (UK to Aust) makes it difficult to respond immediately.

I am wanting the condition to refer to the lower weighted horse in the AvB markets only.

There is no "Full mode" in AvB markets, and I have been trying to work out how to obtain information from the normal win markets for use in AvB markets.

I am hoping your advice on silk_weight will make things much clearer for me.

Thanks for your trouble,

bobh

Please see your amended triggers attached.

Thanks Oxa,

I would never have been able to solve this problem from the example(s) in the manual and the learning triggers, and this makes it a lot clearer for me.

Thanks again,

bobh

This prompts me to make more examples.
