Tutorial step 18 - resetting a shot profile

[ttrickel]

I've reached the end of Tutorial step 18: Add your first shot.

The tutorial ends with the creation of a shot profile and that works great - as far as it goes.

What I'd like to do is reset the shot profile on mode start or on mode stop. Unfortunately, I can't find the correct syntax.

It seems something like the following should work but it doesn't. What am I missing?

shots:
my_first_shot_mode2:
switch: s_reentry_left
show_tokens:
led: l_re-entry_left
profile: mode2

shot_profiles:
mode2:
states:
- name: flashing
show: flash
speed: 5
- name: lit
show: on
loop: false
block: true

event_player:
mode_mode2_stopped:
my_first_shot_mode2_state_name:
flashing

Not saying this is the best way for advanced logic. But you can add this to your shots: section for that shot. Then add the mode_started (put your modes name). Then every time the mode starts, it will reset the profile to its first state and enable the shot.

Thanks for the quick response. But, I must be really dense.

Is this what you meant? If so, it doesn't work for me. The state_name stays at lit in the events monitor and the led just stays on solid.

shots:
my_first_shot_mode2:
switch: s_reentry_left
show_tokens:
led: l_re-entry_left
profile: mode2
restart_events: mode2_started
