BAM BAM - Request for support to remove need of Execute and Eval

[madmrmax]

For those that are interested, I've created a script helper which will invoke xBam.Call asynchronously. Calling xBam.Call async like this enables one function to "use" xBam.Call for a time delay invoke and not have to worry about if the call to xBam.Call is "contained" within another xBam.Call.

I added a resource for this: https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/r...nchronously-to-avoid-nested-call-errors.8517/

I have found external scripts to be more trouble than they are worth. They work fine but end users always seem to be confused with them and they question the need to create a folder named scripts for them. They find it odd they have to create it when all the other folders they need are already created. You will be addressing an endless set of user complaints caused by not saving them correctly. You're better off just saving everything to the script. You might add it to a Notepad file and save it to a folder of other snippets that you can grab when you need them.

Yup. People can use the class in the script and add it to their own table's script if they want! I love external scripts when development to better encapsulate work. Scripts for these tables starts to get overwhelming.
