machine_var_(name)

MPF Event

Posted when a machine variable is added or changes value. (Machine variables are like player variables, except they’re maintained machine-wide instead of per-player or per-game.)

Keyword arguments

prev_value

The previous value of this machine variable, e.g. what it was before the current value.

value
