Scene Help please!

[dw89 8]

Hi Guys,

Probably easy to you guys but I'm a bit new to scenes and could do with some help:

1) What does 'Active' Scene checkbox do? Does it mean that the first trigger bit of code runs automatically?

So far I've unchecked the Active box and when I did the test on something simple and pressed 'run' it looks like it bypassed the IF statement and just executed the commands e.g. turn off this turn off that. Could someone explain what does what quickly for me? I looked in the manual and couldn't find it and I've not found a post which explains so far.

2) I wrote this basic LUA just to check if something's on first before wasting time shutting it off but I keep getting an error saying '= expected before tonumber' or something like that. Makes no sense to me so I commented that out and then it's doing it near _luxValue! Arrgh. What's wrong please?

I don't know anything about Lua really, but normally script would have the 'if' condition all in brackets

So...

Hi Wobbler,

Thanks for the reply. I agree, you can use brackets but you don't necessarily have to.

However I only removed them to see if it made any difference to the error I was getting in the LUA debug window in the scene.....but it didn't...I still get the same error e.g. 'expected = near to _luxvalue' or something like that.

Doesn't seem like hard code (not to me anyway) so I'm obviously missing something that's particular to LUA (which I am new to) or the HC2 scene code which I don't understand as yet.

Any help much appreciated

KR, Dave

I copied your code into a content aware editor, it didn't recognise upper case IF THEN ELSE END as valid Lua. Not sure if that is actually the case with a Fibaro, however it would explain the statements all executing without processing the conditional logic, if upper case keywords are not valid.

Also the last fibaro statement has a full stop instead of a colon and no semi-colon to end the line.

Also commenting out the _luxValue line broke the nested if statement, as you would have had an 'end' statement with no corresponding 'if'.

Try the code below. I have no more ideas.
