flipper_cradle_release

This is an MPF Event

The content on this page is technical documentation for an MPF Event.

Posted when one of the flipper buttons that has previously been active for more than 3 seconds has been released.

If the player pushes in one flipper button for more than 3 seconds, and then the second one and holds it in for more than 3 seconds, this event won't be posted until both buttons have been released.

Note that in order for this event to work, you have to add left_flipper as a tag to the switch for your left flipper, and right_flipper to your right flipper.

See timed_switches: for details.

This event does not have any keyword arguments
