Best way to get the status of megatrigs for a Macro Page?

AposMus:

Did some experimenting and Halion parameters uses 32bit integers.
These are signed integers though, so strictly speaking it’s a 31 bit number with the most significant bit of the 32bit value used for the sign.

This will give you a positive max of 2147483647. If Megatrig gets triggered an average of once a second, that’s enough room for just over 68 years. So you should be alright.

A little trick for brevity is that you can set large values using hexadecimal numbers.

This wil look a lot neater:
defineParameter('YourParamHere', nil, 0, 0, 0x7FFFFFFF, 1)

Excellent…and thank you. You’ve helped reduce my worries.

I ultimately went with a value of: 9223372036854775807

I’d read somewhere that it’s the largest integer for 64bit. Even if this version of LUA stores this stuff on 32bit scales, It seems to be working just fine with that value.

I’m not sure where I came up with that HUGE number in the earlier post…lousy research on my part…maybe that must have been floating point stuff?
