hi everyone,

 

I'm new to filemaker, looking at different video tutorials I've seen the possibility to create custom functions to simplify and optimize the script of my database. in particular it would be useful (not only to me) to create 4 custom functions to control trigger scripts:

triggerAreActive

triggerDisable

triggerEnable

triggerReset

can anyone help me?

These are the triggers that are available in FileMaker http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7465/~/understanding-and-using-script-triggers

 

do you have an example as to how your proposed function would work? as opposed to existing built in functions?

thanks for your replay, the video to which I refer is 

You can get these functions from Matt's GitHub repository  https://github.com/petrowsky/fmpstandards/tree/master/Functions/Triggers

if you want more fun with triggers check out this technique:
