I'm having some trouble trying to get this to work:
action=”set ‘%Temp_Var’ get_text ‘%tocue3’ & param_cast ‘integer’”
Essentially, using a verb to set a variable. I'm pretty sure it's a quotes problem?

In a similar vain, trying something like this is also drawing a blank:
action="songpos_remain `cue_pos 1` ? True : False"
My head hurts :-)
action="songpos_remain `cue_pos 1` ? True : False"
My head hurts :-)

Might help if you could explain what you are trying to achieve by the code.
I'm sure Locodog will have the answer.

Essentially, I've been trying to compare if the song position is past a cue point and display different text on a button. Locodog offered some advice where get_text is used as part of a query but it doesn't quite work.
So I had a rethink and tried to do it a different way using variables or the songpos_remaing.... as detailed above.
Knowing if setting variables or querying verbs with a verb is possible would be helpful. I can't find any info on the wiki that says either way.

set 'TempVar' get_text "%tocue3" & param_cast 'integer'
However this action will run only once (e.g. every time you hit the button) and not constantly.
So it's better to tell us EXACTLY what you want to do...

Here is an example comparing the current position to the Cue1 position
As you may see, you actually query the BtoCuex with visibility so you need 2 textzones, one for each case.
EDIT. Actually the visibility is .. get_text "%Btocue1" & param_cast 'integer' & param_bigger 0 ? true : false
somehow the BBcode changed the " to "
<textzone visibility="get_text "%Btocue1" & param_cast 'integer' & param_bigger 0 ? true : false">
<pos x="+2" y="+11"/>
<size width="352" height="25"/>
<text size="25" color="#E1E1E1" weight="bold" scroll="yes" format="Text when HotCue is before the current position"/>
</textzone>
<textzone visibility="get_text "%Btocue1" & param_cast 'integer' & param_bigger 0 ? false : true">
<pos x="+2" y="+11"/>
<size width="352" height="25"/>
<text size="25" color="#E1E1E1" weight="bold" scroll="yes" format="Text when HotCue is after the current position"/>
</textzone>

Thanks djdad... That worked a treat and allows me to manipulate text based on Cues points and song position :-)
