Controlling variables within HC3 Block Mode

[Ronald H 1]

Is it possible to increment or decrement variables within Block Mode, or can this only be done via Lua, and thanks for help on forum policy

Regards Ron

I tried a completely new scene, I played with it a bit and I think I solved it this way. I will see if it will work as I need.

 

 

local hitCounter = hub.getSceneVariable("hitCounter")

local lastHitTime = hub.getSceneVariable("lastHitTime")

local notified   = hub.getSceneVariable("notified")

local currentTime = os.time(os.date("!*t"))

local pumpPower = tonumber(hub.getValue(187, "power"))

 

 hub.debug("scene692", hitCounter)

 hub.debug("Scene692", pumpPower)

 hub.debug("Scene692", notified)

 

 if lastHitTime == nil or currentTime - lastHitTime >= 60 then

     hitCounter = 0

     hub.setSceneVariable("hitCounter", hitCounter)

 end

 

 if pumpPower >= 1000 then

     if hitCounter == 0 then

       lastHitTime = currentTime

       hub.setSceneVariable("lastHitTime", currentTime)

     end

     hitCounter = hitCounter + 1

     hub.setSceneVariable("hitCounter", hitCounter)

 

     if hitCounter >= 5 and notified == 0 then

        hub.alert("simplePush", {1026}, "Pump is hunting!", false, "")

        notified = 1

        hub.setSceneVariable("notified", notified)

    end

else

     notified = 0

     hub.setSceneVariable("notified", notified)

end

Hello, I have a similar application but I stuck at setting and reading the value of the global variable. The value printed is always Nil. Why?

 

This is the only code in the LUA scene.
