blocking pushbutton functions for a party

[managementboy]

Hi,

last party we had one of our guest accidentally pressed the "away" button, putting the whole home into a deep sleep (no music, no power etc). Does someone know of an easy way of blocking the execution of such things? I have an object I use to set the apartment into a "party" mode. I guess I would like to add a tag to those objects I want to disable for a while and re-enable after the party is over.

Thanks!

Hi Elkin,
I suppose you have event-based script for "away" functionality. Simply add If Else defining if there is Party mode, the Away functionality is not working.

Hi Elkin,

for now I have decided to have a Party-Object (true-false) and a short code sniplet to add to those places I want to block execution.

Code:

party = grp.getvalue('Party') -- are we in party mode?

then in the necessary user functions, for example those I use to turn DMX lights on/off I add this snipplet at the beginning of the function:

Code:

 if (party == true) then
   return
 end

Still looking for a cleaner solution...
