How is Time tracked
« on: 26 Aug 2013, 13:06 »
I need my trigger to be triggered in 85' of the Footbal match.

Do I need to put in just 85 or do I need to calculate in half time pause which is 15min, and that would take total of 100 minutes?

Thanks.

Hi
It is minutes since the game turned in-play at the start. So your 100 is correct.
You can add a bit in for stoppage in 1st half as well.
45+3+15+40=103 or thereabouts.

OK, nice...

one more question.

Are triggers dependent on each other. Do they trigger one after another, or are they only dependent on Critera?

for example.

If i have in my trigger block:

Trigger 1
Trigger 2
Trigger 3

and critera for Trigger 2 is True, bit Trigger 1 was never fired. Will Trigger 2 be fired?

Hi
It is both really, depending on the conditions you set.
For example:
Trigger 1 lays the fav
Trigger 2 greens up
Trigger 3 distributes loss

You only want either Trigger 2 or Trigger 3 to fire depending whether your position in profit or in a loss. So you would put in conditions to do this.

Internally, the program reads through the whole list of triggers and conditions in the trigger file and actions each trigger and it's conditions.

Best way to understand it is to try making a trigger yourself and try it in test mode.
Have a look at this video:

edit: although that video is for the previous version, the principle is the same.
In the example you give, yes, Trigger 2 will fire.
