Restart this macro

Stops older runs of this button so only the newest continues.

Where
+ Add actionStopRestart this macro
When pressed list with Restart this macro first, followed by a Play sound action.

Every press of a pad starts its own run, so pressing quickly layers the runs on top of each other: a sound plays twice, a countdown runs twice. Restart this macro makes a new press replace the older ones instead. The action has no settings.

How it runs

Section titled “How it runs”
  • It stops every other run of this button that is still going, from any of its lists. The run it is in carries on with the next action.
  • Other buttons are not affected.
  • The stopped runs end the same way as with Stop this macro: their sounds stop, waits end, requests are cancelled.
  • Put it first in When pressed. Anything before it still runs in parallel with the older runs.

Example

Section titled “Example”

A sound that restarts on every press instead of stacking:

  1. Restart this macro
  2. Play sound drumroll.mp3

The same works for a “Be right back” button with a Delay of a few minutes before it switches back: pressing it again starts the timer over.
