Details
When the trigger model reaches a branch-always building block, it goes to the building block set by
branchToBlock.
Example
trigger.model.setblock(6, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_ALWAYS, 20)
When the trigger model reaches block 6, always branch to block 20.

trigger.model.setblock() — trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER
This function defines a trigger model block that branches to a specified block a specified number of times.

Usage
trigger.model.setblock(blockNumber, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER, targetCount,
branchToBlock)
blockNumber
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
targetCount
The number of times to repeat
branchToBlock
The block number of 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. At that point, the trigger model continues to the next building block in the sequence.
The counter is reset to 0 when the trigger model starts. It is incremented each time trigger model
execution reaches the counter block.
If you are using remote commands, you can query the counter. The counter is incremented
immediately before the branch compares the actual counter value to the set counter value. Therefore,
the counter is at 0 until the first comparison. When the trigger model reaches the set counter value,
branching stops and the counter value is one greater than the setting.
