Issue with Match

[Bob]

2 problems with my match.

1. It seems to match someone every single game game. 

2. When there is a double match I'm only getting one credit.

I've attached:

- a screen shot of the part of my log that is reporting this

- my match.yaml mode file

 - screenshot of the credit section of my config.yaml file

Any ideas??

just bumping this up. 

Been all through this and can't see any issue.

Help!

Regarding #2, you are getting one credit because match_has_match only occurs once regardless of the number of winners. Break the match_has_match entry in your credit events into multiple entries -- match_has_match{winners==1}, match_has_match{winners==2}, etc. and include the appropriate number of credits for each case.

Not so sure about #1. Could you share your machine_vars.yaml file in the data folder?

Thank you! I will try that but it makes sense.

My programming is limited to what is on the MPF site and example code form other games but I’ve never seen that option.

Is there another site that I can use that will up my knowledge base? It seems there is so much that I still need to learn, but I’m not sure how.

 

I’ve attached by machine_vars.yml file

 

And thank you for the transistors and CPU’s. Part’s received!

Muscling your way through trying to get your game working is not a bad way to learn. 

Jan did a video on events that may help:
Events and Event Handler in the Mission Pinball Framework - MPF Software (youtube.com)

Here is the MPF docs info on conditional events:
Conditional Events - The Mission Pinball Framework

I use MPF Monitor and its Events window to find events and conditionals that I want to use in my game. "Playing" the game using the Monitor has been useful for both creating and testing new logic.

I took a course on Udemy for python to help brush up on my programming skills. It was $22 on sale. Udemy regularly has sales on courses. This is the one I did which is listed at $200, so maybe wait for a sale:

I have only been using the MPF site and other game code I can find. I'll take a look at those other sites. I don't mind muscling my way through but that last bit of code for the match surprised me. 

It's a surprisingly simple approach when you read it but with all the code I've seen for match, why are they not using it? This stuff is so humbling ....

Did yo have a look at the MAchine_Vars file i sent?  

[cobra18t]

I did look at the machine_vars file that you posted, but it did not point me to the possible cause I was thinking of. Are you sure you are getting match every game or are you just getting a credit every game? Maybe one of the other sources of credits is firing every game?

Do you have a service menu mode? Have you tried adjusting the match_percentage setting in the service menu?

[bobp...@rogers.com]

Yes. It’s actually matching every game.

Nope, no Service mode

[Bob]

what is this match_percentage setting you mention?

I've been searching for any reference to the same with no luck.

Does it only run in a service mode?

[Bob]

could it be because I have priority in the mode at 1000?
