Fire Events for this collection - ??

Suppress individual events for each member - of the collection

"For Each" support in script!

Example.

For each light in RedLights
light.State = LightStateOn
Next

Where 'light' is just a temporary name you assign to each element as you use it. This saves the trouble of messing with the size of the collection.

Note: These are the Keycodes used in the script from the above demo that change the light states.

If keycode = PlungerKey Then
Plunger.Fire
'This section will turn scripted lights to the Off State when Plunger/Enter is released

If keycode = LeftFlipperKey Then
LeftFlipper.RotateToStart
PlaySound "FlipperDown"
'This section will turn scripted lights to the on State when LeftFlipper/Left Shift is pressed

If keycode = RightFlipperKey Then
RightFlipper.RotateToStart
PlaySound "FlipperDown"
'This section will turn scripted lights to the Blinking State when RightFlipper /Right Shift is pressed

'States are as followed 0 = LightStateOff so you can type 0 or LightStateoff
' 1 = LightStateon
' 2 = LightStateBlinking

'************************* Array
'Using an array to change a group of light states

LightsArray = Array(Light1,Light2,Light3,Light4,Light5,Light6,Light7,Light8)
For a = 0 to 7 'a can be any letter 0 to 7 = 8 lights
LightsArray(a).State=2 'makes the 8 lights blink
Next

'************************* Collections
'The Green Lights & Red Lights & Blue Lights are Collections of lights
'To see their collection, In the Editor select
'Table / Collection Manager (Select a collection) / Edit

' Collection Using "For Each" support!
For Each Light in GreenLights
Light.state = LightStateBlinking 'or 2
Next

For Each Light in Redlights
Light.State=2 'or LightStateBlinking 'These are the 3 red lights above the flippers
Next

'It can also be done like this but the "For Each" is simpler
For a = 0 to 11 '0 to 11 = 12 lights, 0 counts as the 1st number
BlueLights(a).State=2 'these are the 12 BlueLights blinking clockwise
Next
