This is used to be able to dinamically run macros before/after events without hardcoding them.
[gcode_macro MY_EVENT_MACRO]
variable_after_eventname: 1
variable_before_othereventname: 2
gcode:
...
This will configure MY_EVENT_MACRO to run before "othereventname" with priority 2, and after "eventname" with priority 1 Priority can be any number from 0 to 999.
Example usage:
[include macro_run_ba.cfg]
[gcode_macro test1]
variable_after_pie: 1
gcode:
RESPOND PREFIX="info" MSG="Running test1"
[gcode_macro test5]
variable_after_pie: 5
gcode:
RESPOND PREFIX="info" MSG="Running test5"
[gcode_macro test2]
variable_after_pie: 2
gcode:
RESPOND PREFIX="info" MSG="Running test2"
[gcode_macro test6]
variable_before_pie: 6
gcode:
RESPOND PREFIX="info" MSG="Running test6"
[gcode_macro do_stuff]
gcode:
RUN_BA EVENT=pie TYPE="before"
DO SOME STUFF HERE
RUN_BA EVENT=pie TYPE="after"
Running command DO_STUFF will result in this output
Running test6
Running test1
Running test2
Running test5
