Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value

Usage
trigger.model.setblock(blockNumber, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER, targetCount,
branchToBlock)
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
The number of times to repeat
The trigger model block to execute when the counter is less than the
targetCount value
Details
This command defines a trigger model building block that branches to another block using a counter to iterate a
specified number of times.
Counters increment every time the trigger model reaches them until they are more than or equal to the count
value.
Example
trigger.model.setblock(4, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER, 10, 2)
print(trigger.model.getbranchcount(4))
When the trigger model reaches this block, the trigger model returns to block 2. This repeats 10 times.
An example of the return if the trigger model has reached this block 5 times is:
