Understanding Complex Trigger Actions

The only thing I ran in the IDE was the {!AmmoPressed} in order to see if it was flipping the value from ‘false’ to ‘true’. I am familiar with Java but it is not my strong suit so I wanted to make sure I understood what the expression was going to accomplish.

You should rather use the interactive Beanshell interpreter to test out Beanshell expression. Using an IDE is way overkill for what you want to accomplish. Note that the Beanshell code is not Java per-se, but rather a separate interpreter interpreting something that looks a lot like Java.

I tried that and it still results in ‘Bad Data in Module: Source: {!AmmoPressed;} Error: Expression evaluation error.

In the above, you have a spurious ; after AmmoPressed. Try to remove that. Did you check your errorLog (see How to report problems)

@sfcmikej

That I did understand. It throws the error when the expression when formatted properly as {!AmmoPressed}. I only tried it without the curly braces to see if that would resolve the issue. Obviously it did not.

OK, try the alternative with

{AmmoPressed == 0 ? 1 : 0}
