Scripts and multiple processes

I am currently using 6 extruders in simplify. And to control the print i have set one process per extruder. Depending on what i need to print i will select one or several processes.

In setting up these processes I've been careful to keep the scripts the same across all the the processes. i am not sure this is the right way. I usually use postprocessing, start gcode and tool change. So, the question is:

which process commands the use of scripts? is it always process 1? if it is process one, what happens if its not used on the print (only use process 2-4)?
Or does it combine all the scripts, say for start of tool change, and all of the from all the processes are combined somehow?

This whole thing was pretty straight forward with one extruder but multiple it is confusing with the lack of information on the software.

thanks

Re: Scripts and multiple processes

I believe all of the processes should always have the same scripts if you are going to be combining multiple processes into a single print.

So just make sure they all have the same scripts and you should be fine

Re: Scripts and multiple processes

I think, for conflicts, it picks the first process out of the processes that are being used to print and runs with that, but I haven't tested that theory. But yeah, it can only have one script, so the easiest way to make sure that it gets the right one is to have them be all the same.
