GlovePIE:Multiscript Switch Script
From WiiLi
Update: Batch File Version 1.1 is available: Similar to first batch implementation but includes 8 script paths defined by default for easy editing. I've edited LED code to allow for the 8 scripts. Also the debug window now shows script name defined by var.Script#Name. Lastly I've added optional speech code to say the scripts name when switching between selected scripts. Version 1.1 can be found below the basic implementation(Version 1) code.
Batch File Version Status: Working
The batch file version of this script requires 3 parts: a batch file, adding some code to the scripts you want to be able to switch between and the script switch script.
Warning this version forces to kill cmd.exe and GlovePIE.exe processes. Be aware that if working with these programs any unsaved changes will be lost!
In the following examples the "GlovePIE.exe" file is located @: "C:\Program Files\GlovePIE029\GlovePIE.exe"
The first part of this script is a batch file: The Batch file in this example is located @: "C:\go.bat"
This file should be a normal text file with a ".bat" extension. The contents of the file should be as follows:
taskkill /F /IM GlovePIE.exe %1 %2
The second part of this script are the other script files which you want to be able to switch between. In this example the scripts which can be accessed using the script switch script are:
"C:\MyScripts\Test1.PIE"
"C:\MyScripts\Test2.PIE"
"C:\MyScripts\Test3.PIE"
"C:\MyScripts\Test4.PIE"
Every one of these scripts must contain the following code:
//Hold down Wiimote.A & Wiimote.B & Wiimote.One & Wiimote.Two for 2 seconds to close the current
//script and activate script switch script
if !var.init
var.BatchFilePath = "C:\go.bat"
var.GlovePIEPath = "C:\Progra~1\GlovePIE029\GlovePIE.exe"
//Make sure script path begins with a dash "-" so script opens running
var.ScriptSwitchPath = "-C:\MyScripts\ScriptSwitch.PIE"
Execute("taskkill", "/F /IM cmd.exe")
var.init = true
endif
if Pressed(HeldDown(Wiimote.A && Wiimote.B && Wiimote.One && Wiimote.Two, 2s))
Execute(var.BatchFilePath, var.GlovePIEPath + " " + var.ScriptSwitchPath)
endif
//Script contents here
The third and final part of the script is the Script Switch Script itself.
The Script Switch Script in this example is located @: "C:\MyScripts\ScriptSwitch.PIE"
The contents of this file should be as follows:

* Use the Plus and minus to scroll through the scripts
* Press Wiimote.Home or Wiimote.A to select the current script
* The following script allows for 8 scripts.
* Current selected script may be identified by:
* LEDs, debug window identify selected script (Optional: say script name)
*
* To use this script you must:
*
* 1. Change var.BatchFilePath to path of a batch file with contents:
* taskkill /F /IM GlovePIE.exe
* %1 %2
* 2. Adjust var.SayScript = false if you want to disable speech
* 3. Adjust var.TotalScripts = # of scripts you want to switch between
* 4. Adjust var.Script#Path & var.Script#Name settings for all scripts up to
* the var.TotalScripts you've defined
* *You do not need to delete the path and name settings of scripts greater
* than the var.TotalScripts*
* 5. If you add more than 8 scripts you will have to add led, debug window,
* speech and execution settings.
* Note: If you have a large number of scripts which you want to be able to
* switch between using GlovePIE I suggest:
* a. Editing this script to include a mode/genre select (using the d-pad)
* b. Create a single script switch script to execute other script switch
* scripts (one for each genre/related scripts)

The following is another implementation of the Script Switch Script which does not require the use of batch files. Currently this version DOES NOT work properly.
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT! ExitPIE does not work properly. The GUI disappears but the process remains in memory. If the ExitPIE function bug is eliminated in the future the following script would a better implementation than the batch file solution for obvious reasons.
Warning: Save your scripts before running these scripts. The function ExitPIE is used which closes the current script without prompting for save. This means any changes you have made to the script will be lost.
This script has 2 parts: The first part is the switch script file. The second part is a partial script which must be contained in all the scripts you want to be able to switch between.
You must change the paths in these scripts for them to work.
GlovePIE's directory in this example is contained in the "C:\Program Files\GlovePIE029\" directory
All scripts are contained in the "C:\MyScripts\" directory:
"C:\MyScripts\ScriptSwitch.PIE" - Script switch script
"C:\MyScripts\Test1-4.PIE" - Sample scripts which you can switch between
ScriptSwitch.PIE - Script Switch Script:
/* Use the Plus and minus to scroll through the scripts
* Press Wiimote.Home or Wiimote.A to select the current script
* Current script allows for only 4 scripts.
* Use the LEDs to identify selected script
*
* If you add more scripts you will have to:
* 1: Change var.TotalScripts = 4 to the new number of scripts
* 2: Add new var.Script#Path = "-<ScriptPath>" for each new script
* 3: Create a new elseif var.CurrentScript = # for each new script (add scripts in order)
* 4: Adjust LEDs code
* 5: You will probably have to add more detail to remember which script is which
* - For this I would either change the debug box to display the script name or use GlovePIE's speech feature

This next script must be contained in all scripts you are switching between. It simply opens up the script switch script and then closes the current script.

//Hold down Wiimote.Home for 3 seconds to execute the script switch script if !var.Initialize var.GlovePIEPath = "C:\Progra~1\GlovePIE029\GlovePIE.exe" //Make sure script path begins with a dash "-" so script opens running var.ScriptSwitchPath = "-C:\MyScripts\ScriptSwitch.PIE" var.Initialize = true endif //Holding down Wiimote.Home for 3 seconds executes the script switch script and then closes the current script if Pressed(HeldDown(Wiimote.Home, 3s)) Execute(var.GlovePIEPath, var.ScriptSwitchPath) ExitPIE endif //Add script content here
