Hi. I'm getting new to VDJScript. Enter the code into the PADS in two buttons. Why is 'action' different for buttons?
button 1
get_var 'action' &
(holding ?
set 'Holding' 1 & var_list :
set 'Holding' 0 & var_list) &
var 'Holding' ?
set 'action' 1 & var_list :
set 'action' 0 & var_list
button2
get_var 'action' &
holding ?
set 'action' 1 & var_list :
set 'action' 0 & var_list
button 1
get_var 'action' &
(holding ?
set 'Holding' 1 & var_list :
set 'Holding' 0 & var_list) &
var 'Holding' ?
set 'action' 1 & var_list :
set 'action' 0 & var_list
button2
get_var 'action' &
holding ?
set 'action' 1 & var_list :
set 'action' 0 & var_list

don't use holding in brackets.

It says here that it should already work. Or not? This makes writing VDJScript much easier.

I can't imagine this script without (**) (so I can, but its length will be triple and its extension very difficult)
get_var 'DeckSlideShowActive' &
(holding ?
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 1 :
var 'DeckSlideShowActive' ?
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 0 :
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 1) &
var 'HoldingKeySlideShow' ?
repeat_start_instant 'RD_SlideShow' 500ms &
var 'HoldingKeySlideShow' ?
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 0 &
(video_fx_select "Slideshow" && video_fx) ?
repeat_stop 'RD_SlideShow' &
video_fx_select "none" & video_fx & set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 0 :
(video_fx_select "Slideshow" && is_video) ?
repeat_stop 'RD_SlideShow' &
video_fx_select "none" & video_fx & set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 0 :
repeat_stop 'RD_Shader' &
set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 1 & set 'DeckShaderActive' 0 &
(video ? nothing : video) &
video_fx_select "Slideshow" &
is_video ?
nothing :
video_fx :
video ?
(video_fx_select "Slideshow" && video_fx) ?
nothing :
is_video ?
nothing :
video_fx_select "Slideshow" & video_fx :
repeat_stop 'RD_SlideShow' & video_fx_select "none" &
set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 0 :
effect_button 'Slideshow' 6

that won't work, outside of the first brackets will be performed almost instantly, certainly before holding has time to set HoldingKeySlideShow to 1.
You need to rethink it.

It's exactly how you write. What is the reason why he doesn't have time to set HoldingKeySlideShow to 1? Is it written somewhere that explains this behavior? I thought that the first condition would be executed first and then the rest of the script would be executed.
This script works fine.

What you need to understand (without me going through your code) is this:
action=(a) & (b)
In this case a & b are run one after another. "b" does not wait "a" to do something.
While the execution is not technically paraller but sequential, you should consider it as parallel.
So, in your case in the "a" block you have a "holding ?" statement.
The holding script introduces a 1000ms delay before it gets executed.
Therefore, by the time the "holding ?" script toggles your variable, the code on "b" block has long ago finished executing.
I hope this clears up things a little.

What you write within brackets is independent from the rest of the script, so
(holding ? a : b) & (c)
c does not depend on holding so can be executed immediately
a or b will depend on holding, which is only known on release or after some time.
Since we now have brackets in script, I'm not sure why bother with using a var to remember if holding is used or not in the first place.
You can simplify all of that using
holding ? (a & b & c) : (d & e & f)
(holding ? a : b) & (c)
c does not depend on holding so can be executed immediately
a or b will depend on holding, which is only known on release or after some time.

I'm a developer in C and C ++, so I'm beginning to know where the problem is (thread processing), but I'd like to read about this problem when scripting. Your post inspired me to edit a script that works.
get_var 'DeckSlideShowActive' &
(holding 200ms ?
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 1 :
var 'DeckSlideShowActive' ?
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 0 :
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 1) &
wait 210ms &
var 'HoldingKeySlideShow' ?
repeat_start_instant 'RD_SlideShow' 500ms &
var 'HoldingKeySlideShow' ?
set 'HoldingKeySlideShow' 0 &
(video_fx_select "Slideshow" && video_fx) ?
repeat_stop 'RD_SlideShow' &
video_fx_select "none" & video_fx & set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 0 :
(video_fx_select "Slideshow" && is_video) ?
repeat_stop 'RD_SlideShow' &
video_fx_select "none" & video_fx & set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 0 :
repeat_stop 'RD_Shader' &
set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 1 & set 'DeckShaderActive' 0 &
(video ? nothing : video) &
video_fx_select "Slideshow" &
is_video ?
nothing :
video_fx :
video ?
(video_fx_select "Slideshow" && video_fx) ?
nothing :
is_video ?
nothing :
video_fx_select "Slideshow" & video_fx :
repeat_stop 'RD_SlideShow' & video_fx_select "none" &
set 'DeckSlideShowActive' 0 :
effect_button 'Slideshow' 6

thanks, I think that explains it all.
