Arming and Disarming Elk M1G with F key

[Del91574]

Here's a case where Spanky advises using a delay to prevent two rules from intefering with each other. He is separating two "whenevers" so that the F key event is no longer active or expired when the second whenever rule executes. Otherwise the second rule would revese the action of the first. It is what clued me into timing rules in the first place but doesn't explain much.

Mike.

I wouldn't go as far to say that in that example, the conditional portion of the boolean needs time to fire and the panel needs to recognize the arm state change before executing a rule. Basically what he pointed out is the action for the split second the F key is pressed and the arm/disarm state changing is going to cause a clash because an arm/disarm is not an instant event.
