shared variables between actions

Is there any way to do this? I've got a system that plays videos, but from mulitple actions - I wanna be able to make a queue system so they play one after another.

currently I'm using this system:

using System;

public class CPHInline
{
    public bool Execute()
    {
        //initialization
        string userName = args["user"].ToString();
        string userMessage = args["message"].ToString();
        
        //message mentions wolok, not sent by wolok, video overlay isn't currently in use (is disabled)
        if(userMessage.Contains("test") && userName != "WorldLOck1q" && !CPH.ObsIsSourceVisible("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay"))
        {
            //Video initialization
            CPH.ObsSetMediaSourceFile("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay", "C:/Users/Chris/Desktop/ChrisTCC/Twitch/Streamer.Bot/Video Clips/Monke.mp4");
            
            //play video
            CPH.ObsShowSource("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay");
            CPH.ObsMediaRestart("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay");
            CPH.SendMessage("done.");
            CPH.Wait(3200); //3 seconds
            CPH.ObsHideSource("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay");
        }
        return true;
    }
}

using System;

public class CPHInline
{
    public bool Execute()
    {
        //initialization
        string userName = args["user"].ToString();
        string userMessage = args["message"].ToString();
        
        //message mentions wolok, not sent by wolok, video overlay isn't currently in use (is disabled)
        if(userMessage.Contains("test") && userName != "WorldLOck1q" && !CPH.ObsIsSourceVisible("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay"))
        {
            //Video initialization
            CPH.ObsSetMediaSourceFile("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay", "C:/Users/Chris/Desktop/ChrisTCC/Twitch/Streamer.Bot/Video Clips/Monke.mp4");
            
            //play video
            CPH.ObsShowSource("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay");
            CPH.ObsMediaRestart("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay");
            CPH.SendMessage("done.");
            CPH.Wait(3200); //3 seconds
            CPH.ObsHideSource("(Video Overlays)", "Video Overlay");
        }
        return true;
    }
}

basically adding a check during my if statement to check if the overlay is enabled turns out - it isn't working as intended. I just want it to fail the if statement, but it seems like it just queues the video somehow

You're missing a key concept of OOP it seems: Objects can have fields and properties. You don't have enough code or explanation to go in the details, but for example, you could have a field/property at the class level (outside of the method's scope) that would be your queue, and you would add/remove items into that object.

and where would I put that class? I'm self-taught, I have no idea what the heck that means

Yawnder•2y ago

public class Potato {
  public string ThisIsAPublicProperty { get; set; }
  private string thisIsAPrivateField;
  public void ThisIsAMethod() {
    DoSomething();
  }
}

public class Potato {
  public string ThisIsAPublicProperty { get; set; }
  private string thisIsAPrivateField;
  public void ThisIsAMethod() {
    DoSomething();
  }
}

As long as your instance of that class lives, these members will persist.

yeah but where? if I put the class in this action would scripts in other actions be able to access it?

Yawnder•2y ago

What scripts? What actions? These aren't things in C#.

Chris TCCOP•2y ago

ah crap wrong discord I just noticed 🤦‍♂️

Yawnder•2y ago

(Well, Action<T> is, but I don't think you're talking about that.)

Chris TCCOP•2y ago

sorry mate, I posted wrong discord, I'm working on a script for a program called Streamer.bot
