Sequence of Events

[Thomas Trickel]

Is there any way to control the sequence of events or the sequence that variable_player responds to events. 

I have the following:

variable_player:
  mission_spot_group_shot_hit:
    score: 1000

  mission_spot_1_shot_hit:
    mission_selected:
        action: set
        string: 'target_practice'
  mission_spot_2_shot_hit:
    mission_selected:
        action: set
        string: 're-entry'
  mission_spot_3_shot_hit:
    mission_selected:
        action: set
        string: 'launch'
  mission_spot_group_shot_lit_complete:
    mission_selected:
        action: set
        string: 'science'
  mission_completed_event:
    mission_selected:
        action: set
        string: 'blah'

            note: the mission_completed_event handler is only because I was getting

                         an error when I tried to assign 'none' to the mission_selected variable

Why does player_mission_selected get assigned launch when the events triggering the assignment occur before the events triggering the assignment of science to player_mission_selected?

Thank you

I've attached the whole mode.

Hey Thomas,

You can check logicblock/accruals : https://missionpinball.org/latest/game_logic/logic_blocks/accruals/

Something like

accruals:

   mission_spot_accrual:

    events:

      - mission_spot_1_shot_hit

      - mission_spot_2_shot_hit

      - mission_spot_3_shot_hit

    events_when_complete: mission_spot_accrual_complete

and 

variable_player:

...

  mission_spot_accrual_complete:

    mission_selected:

        action: set

        string: 'science'

may do what your looking for.

Thank you Sam.

That did the trick. Just had to set disable_on_complete to false instead of the default true.

Clearly I need to spend more time plowing through the documentation.
