 |
|
Regards.
How does "execute asynchronous" differ to standard AA script enabling and disabling?
Does it have any effect on enabling/disabling nested scripts (f.e. nested scripts are executed after execution of parent script and subsequently nested scripts are disabled before disabling parent script)?
Or it does something completely different?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

The main thread usually handles AA scripts and Lua. If something in a script blocks the main thread, CE can't do anything else and it becomes unresponsive until the script finishes.
Executing a script asynchronously will create a thread to execute it. This won't block the main thread, but it also means you can't access GUI objects (only the main thread can).
If an AA script is set to activate/deactivate its children when it is activated/deactivated, the parent script is synchronized before all child scripts (for both cases) regardless if any particular script is executing asynchronously.

Thanks ParkourPenguin.
...and what about activating/deactivating nested AA scripts that are not set to activate/deactivate its children? Is there a deterministic sequence for their execution?
I am asking that because I sometimes use a single hotkey to activate/deactivate many (also nested) scripts and would like to know the activation/deactivation sequence as well as if there is a way to control that sequence.
Thanks again.

If you are activating / deactivating each memory record, you're responsible for sequencing.
With regards to separate hotkeys, I don't know if there are any guarantees in which order CE checks them. I guess you could look for a pattern and hope it doesn't change in future versions of CE, but you'd be better off controlling it yourself.
e.g.:
| Code: | function activateAll(memrec)
memrec.Active = true
for i = 0, memrec.Count - 1 do
activateAll(memrec.Child[i])
end
end
function deactivateAll(memrec)
for i = memrec.Count - 1, 0, -1 do
deactivateAll(memrec.Child[i])
end
memrec.Active = false
end |

Thanks again.
...but, again, more questions for me...
How do I refer to a specific AA script from LUA?
For example: I have AA scripts named a, b and c with their appropriate child scripts named aa, ab, ac, ba, bb, bc, ca, cb and cc. What would be LUA script that would activate script b and then b's child scripts bc and then ba?
Also, how do you assign LUA function to a hotkey?
Sorry for so many questions, and thanks for all your answers.

Using the two previous functions:
| Code: | local al = getAddressList()
local memrec = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription('a')
local enabled = false
if my_special_hotkey then my_special_hotkey.destroy(); my_special_hotkey = nil end
my_special_hotkey = createHotkey(function(hk)
if enabled then
deactivateAll(memrec)
else
activateAll(memrec)
end
enabled = not enabled
end, VK_CONTROL, VK_Q) |
Most of CE's Lua API is documented in celua.txt.
| Code: | MemoryRecord Class:
properties
...
Count: Number of children
Child[index] : Array to access the child records
...
Addresslist Class:
...
methods
getMemoryRecord(index)
getMemoryRecordByDescription(description)
getMemoryRecordByID(ID) |
Many examples can be found by searching for them.
