Scripting:TWBaseTrap

All the scripts with "Trap" in their name inherit from this base trap script and they typically do something in response to being sent messages - usually a TurnOn or TurnOff message. All TWTrap...whatever... scripts support the following arguments in the Editor -> Design Note. [ScriptName] here is the name of the script as you entered it into the S->Scripts property.

Note: standard Trap Control Flags property is not used or supported.

[ScriptName]On

Use this parameter to specify which script message should activate the script. The default is TurnOn.

[ScriptName]Off

Use this parameter to specify which script message should deactivate the script. The default is TurnOff.

You can use [ScriptName]On="TurnOff"; [ScriptName]Off="TurnOn" to simulate the Invert Trap Control Flag; [ScriptName]On="Null" can be used to simulate NoOn and [ScriptName]Off="Null" can be used to simulate NoOff.

[ScriptName]Count

Set the maximum number of times that the script will work. You can use [ScriptName]Count=1 to emulate the Once Trap Control Flag. The default is 0 (infinite). Sending the trap a ResetCount message will reset the counter.

[ScriptName]CountFalloff

Specify a time, in milliseconds, that it takes for the count to decrease by one. This defaults to 0, which means that no falloff happens and when the count is reached, the script will stop working until a ResetCount message is sent to it. If you set a falloff, the count of the number of times the script has worked is decreased over time, eventually dropping back down to zero if no further activations have happened. Note that, unless [ScriptName]CountLimit is true, activations will increase the count of number of times the trap has worked, even if it has had no effect.

[ScriptName]CountLimit

If set to true, the count of number of times the script has worked will be a

[ScriptName]CountOnly

Both TurnOn and TurnOff are counted against the [ScriptName]Count by default. You can use [ScriptName]CountOnly=1 or [ScriptName]CountOnly=On to ignore TurnOff, and [ScriptName]CountOnly=2 [ScriptName]CountOnly=Off to ignore TurnOn.

[ScriptName][On/Off]Capacitor

Use this parameter to specify the number of times that a trap will need to receive its triggering message before it activates. For example, an script with [ScriptName]Capacitor=3 will only activate on every third message, while one with [ScriptName]OnCapacitor=4; [ScriptName]OffCapacitor=2 will activate on every second TurnOff message but only every fourth TurnOn message. The default is 1 (activate for every message)

[ScriptName][On/Off]CapacitorFalloff can be used to specify the time, in milliseconds, that it takes for the trap to "lose charge", and the activation count to go back down by one activation.
