Monitorable Properties

For dynamic values and conditional events, the prefix for shot groups is device.shot_groups.(name).

common_state

: The name of the common state of all shots in the group. Will be None if there is no common state. State names depend on the profile of your shots (by default lit and unlit).

Shot Group Overview:

Shot Group:

We're creating a shot group called "outlanes", which contains 4 shots that we defined in our Shots: section of a mode.

Rotate events:

These will cycle the lights thru your shots, based on which flipper button is pressed in this case.

Reset_Events:

Describes an event that will cause this shot group to reset back to its original state.

Enable/Disable Events:

Describe events that will cause this shot group to be enabled/disabled, in this case we are using Ball_Started and Ball_Ending.
