1. When I enable the trigger it says I need some initTrig function?
2. what is runtextmacro supposed mean? Why is there an exclamation mark after the //?
3. Where am I supposed to declare the variables? I fiddled around and found I could only declare them between the runtextmacro lines

I'm just really confused and I have no idea where to start.

did you do the exercises?

Ignore that.

what is runtextmacro supposed mean? Why is there an exclamation mark after the //?

It's a preprocessor directive. We're using it to hide all the code that runs in the background other than yours.

//! runtextmacro Variables()
//Your variables go here.
//! runtextmacro Actions()
//Your code goes here.
//! runtextmacro End_Code()

Example:

//! runtextmacro Variables()
integer i = 0
integer j = 0
//! runtextmacro Actions()
set j = i + 3
//! runtextmacro End_Code()

Where am I supposed to declare the variables? I fiddled around and found I could only declare them between the runtextmacro lines

Precisely.

ok I see. Thanks.

It seems I didn't pay attention to the textmacro surrounding the big "CREATE VARIABLE HERE" comment when doing the exercises.
