I was wondering if I can push a certain button to execute a different command with another.. sounds confusing right?
I want a certain button (button #1) on my mixer to have the VDJScript: unload
But, I want to assign another button (button #2) so that if I hold button #2 and press button #1 it loads a song instead of unloading it.
What do I type in the VDJScript?
Thanks so much!!

Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJScript%20Examples.html where what you are looking for is explained along with lots of other common examples.

Thanks I got that page saved a long time ago, but I never really realized it was there too.
Thanks again!

It is still not acting the way its supposed to.. :(

The buttons are probably not mapped correctly. What action(s) have you mapped them to?

var 'shift' ? effect 'backspin' active : effect 'Flanger' active (INITIAL COMMAND FROM VDJSCRIPT EXAMPLES)
But I changed it to:
CH2_PFL = var 'CH1_PFL' ? loop_half : sampler 1 loop 50% (JUST AN EXAMPLE!)
(Basically I want it to half the loop of sampler 1 when I press CH2_PFL. However, when I hold CH1_PFL and press CH2_PFL I want it to loop_half)
HOWEVER! When I press CH2_PFL, it only does the sampler half loop thing.. even if I hold CH1_PFL. The same thing happens!
I hope you understand!

This is because the two buttons that you are mapping are on two different decks (CH1 vs CH2)
Unless preceded with a $, variables in VDJscript are local to each deck, so CH2_PFL will not be able to see the variable 'CH1_PFL'.
To correct, simply add a $ in front of the variable name (I.e: $CH1_PFL) to turn it into a global variable which will be accessible on both decks.

Thanks but, I simply said CH1 and CH2 because of an example. Really both buttons are on the same deck.
But I am going to try it out and wish me luck!

I think you might be misunderstanding something ;)
Set these buttons:
CH1_PFL: set 'shift' while_pressed
CH2_PFL: var 'shift' ? loop_half : sampler 1 loop 50%
You need to tell CH1_PFL what to do when it's pressed - in this case set shift.

WAIT! Why can't I do this?
holding ? set '$shift' while_pressed : loop
It does not do the while_pressed.. it only toggles it.

Because 'holding' will only trigger the held action when the button is released (while_pressed needs to be triggered on both press and release for it to work.)
Try the following:
set '$shift' while_pressed & holding ? nothing : loop
Try the following:
set '$shift' while_pressed & holding ? nothing : loop
