eventType

As in the examples this seems to be an Enum. Either get this with Math.ToEnum(“”,“Avolites.Menus.MenuEventTypes”, “EventType”), or pass it directly, without quotes.

Possible eventTypes used for triggers:

OnValueChanged, OnSelect, OnButtonDown

A full list of eventTypes is available here: http://api.avolites.com/11.0/Avolites.Menus.MenuEventTypes.html.

keyGroup

keyGroup appears to be the handle group as outlined in Location, e.g. Playbacks, PlaybackWindow etc.

For the 'general purpose' buttons like Connect. Go, PlaybackPageUp, NextStep etc. the keyGroup is NoGroup.

keyIndex

keyIndex is the index of the button in the group - see Location.

keyName

keyName is informational only (ASSUMPTION!), in order to display which button is associated with this trigger.

Example in

Trigger - Add MIDi trigger:

    <step>Triggers.SetPendingTargetHardware(
        "PresetFader", 
        Math.ToEnum(
          "", 
          "Avolites.Menus.MenuEventTypes", 
          "OnValueChanged"), 
        "Presets",
        0, 
        "")
    </step>
 
    <!-- Or -->
 
    <step>Triggers.SetPendingTargetHardware("PlaybackSelect", OnButtonDown, "Playbacks", 1, "")</step>
