Code sub-actions

Run C# code

For advanced users: runs a small program written in C# (a programming language). Beginners can skip it, because the other steps do the same things without code.

Setting	What to put in
Code	The C# program. It runs inside Cuebot with full access to your computer, so only use code you trust. Beginners: use the normal steps instead.
Timeout (seconds)	Stop the code after this many seconds so it cannot get stuck. 0 = no limit. Starts as: 30.
Code name	Optional. A name so other code or "Run C# method" can call a method of this code. Most people leave it empty.
Description	Optional note for yourself about what this code does.
Precompile on application start	Tick to prepare the code when Cuebot starts instead of the first time it runs. For advanced users only. Starts as: false.
Delayed start	With "Precompile": wait until Cuebot has finished starting and is connected before preparing the code. Starts as: false.
Save result to variable	Tick to save the code's yes/no answer in a variable and always carry on. Unticked, a "no" (false) stops the action. Starts as: false.
Variable name	The variable that receives the answer when "Save result" is ticked, without % signs.
References	Extra program files (.dll) the code needs, one full location per line. Most code needs none.

Run C# method

For advanced users: calls a ready-made C# method that you wrote in a "C# code" step. Beginners can skip it; the normal steps do the same jobs without code.

Setting	What to put in
C# code	The "Code name" you gave a C# code step, or the name of its action.
Method	The name of the method to call. It needs no inputs and gives back yes/no or nothing. The default is Execute. Starts as: Execute.
Timeout (seconds)	Stop the code after this many seconds so it cannot get stuck. 0 = no limit. Starts as: 30.
Save result to variable	Tick to save the code's yes/no answer in a variable and always carry on. Unticked, a "no" (false) stops the action. Starts as: false.
Variable name	The variable that receives the answer when "Save result" is ticked, without % signs.

Run Python code

For advanced users: runs a small program written in Python (a programming language). Beginners can skip it, because the other steps do the same things without code.

Setting	What to put in
Code	The Python program. It runs with full access to your computer, so only use code you trust. Python is installed the first time one runs. Beginners: use the normal steps instead.
Timeout (seconds)	Stop the code after this many seconds so it cannot get stuck. 0 = no limit. Starts as: 30.
