Place sub-event before main event actions

Hi, I couldn't find the answer by searching.

I'd like to make my sub-event trigger immediately after the event fires, then do then perform the main event actions.

For example:

Preferred:

Event: Buttmode == True

etc conditions...

Sub-Event: ExtraButt == True

    Sub-Event Actions: ButtPoints += 1000

Main Event Actions: ButtPoints += 10

                      ButtMode = False

                      ExtraButt = False

How it is now:

Event: Buttmode == True

etc conditions...

Main Event Actions: ButtPoints += 10

                      ButtMode = False

                      ExtraButt = False

Sub-Event: ExtraButt == True

    Sub-Event Actions: ButtPoints += 1000

If main event actions fire first, then the sub-event won't fire because ButtMode is assigned to false. How do I move the sub-event up before the main event actions?

Thanks!

Did you try this to confirm that the sub event won't fire?

I'm not positive, but I thought that once the main condition is met then all events and sub events proceed even if something happens to counter the original condition.

Event: Buttmode == True

etc conditions...

    Main Event Actions: ButtPoints += 10

                      ButtMode = False

Sub-Event: ExtraButt == True

    Sub-Event Actions: ButtPoints += 1000

The condition that would be messed up by what you describe would be something like a while condition.

Sorry, let me revise my original example. I got carried away with the butts. Add an action to main events where ExtraButt is also assigned to false

Event: Buttmode == True

Sub-Event: ExtraButt == True

    Sub-Event Actions: ButtPoints += 1000

Sub-Event: (empty)

    Sub-Event Actions: ButtPoints += 10

                      ButtMode = False

                      ExtraButt = False

I'm not sure I understood your events, but I guess this would work.

There are two sub-events to the main event, and one fires right after the other.

If ExtraButt == True, then it adds 1000 points, and right after it runs the second sub-event, which adds 10 points and sets everything to false.

If ExtraButt == False, then only the second one fires

Hmm... I guess an empty sub-event would do the trick... I'm just getting into this, and somehow I'm kind of scared of the "tricks" I'm going to have to do.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Whats wrong with a function, and/or a wait?

Whats wrong with a function, and/or a wait?

So, you're suggesting with a function I would do:

Event: Buttmode == True

etc conditions...

Main Event Actions:   CheckForExtraButt()

                      ButtPoints += 10

                      ButtMode = False

                      ExtraButt = False

Function ExtraButt()

    Event: ExtraButt == True

      Actions: ButtPoints += 1000

Is that correct?

With that workflow I would have a separate function for each simple if condition I needed to check before the other actions.

Not sure what you mean by a "wait". Are you saying to add to the main event's conditions a wait .5 seconds or something? So that the sub-event gets asynchronously checked?

Thanks for all the tips

You should post your CAPX. This will go faster without the pseudo code.
