Multiple Channels in If Statement

[lueck]

This is probably very simple, but I can't figure it out. I'm trying to get a sound if any of about 70 inputs proves true.

I'm using :

if ((input_timer1[0]) > 10)

system.sound.Play("c:\windows\media\notify.wav")

endif

This works fine for one channel, but I don't want to have to add it 70 times. Is there a way to use a range of channels or a group of channels?

Not from the channel event, since these are unique for each channel, but if this script was running in a Sequence loop, then definitely. There are two choices depending on your channel names. If your channel names are simply input_timer1, input_timer2, etc. then you can do this:

for (private i = 1, i < 71, i++)
   if (evaluate("input_timer" + i + "[0]") > 10)
	  system.sound.play("....")
   endif
endfor

If the names are sequential like that, I'd put all the desired channels in the same channel group, then get a list of them by doing:

private string list = channel.listAll("groupName")

where groupName is the name you gave to that group of channels. Then you can do almost the same thing:

private string list = channel.listAll("groupName")
for (private i = 0, i < numrows(list), i++)
   if (evaluate(list[i] + "[0]") > 10)
	  system.sound.play("....")
   endif
endfor

Thank you. I do have it a sequence and this will really help.
