Tasker question - see inside

[TRICKorDEVICE]

I am trying to pull this one off:

Tasker + Password Lock plugin - Tasker | Google Groups

The post that says this:

Profile:Home unlock
<State WiFi Near> = "home SSID"
<State Variable Set> = "%USERPRESENT = 1
:Enter: Password Lock = off.
:Exit: Password Lock = on, "password"
Set variable %USERPRESENT = 0
Profile: "User Present"
<Event - Display Unlocked>
:Enter: Set variable %USERPRESENT = 1

is what I want to do...help a noob, I can't figure out what the enter means. I assume the exit, means exit tasks.

Is this not possible on some phones/versions of tasker?

I believe ENTER means you need to type in or do whatever it says.

It would appear to be referring to the "enter" and "exit" tasks you can assign to each profile in Tasker.

You just need a better understanding of how Tasker works and that just comes with using it, reading the docs and playing with sample profiles.

I really don't know how to explain this any better than to break down the profiles in the OP. If you don't understand profiles, contexts, tasks and actions and how they relate to each other then you'll never get Tasker. I suggest reading the docs.

Profile:Home unlock Profile 1
<State WiFi Near> = "home SSID" Context 1
<State Variable Set> = "%USERPRESENT = 1 Context 2
:Enter: Password Lock = off. Enter task
:Exit: Password Lock = on, "password" Exit task
Set variable %USERPRESENT = 0 Exit task action

Profile: "User Present" Profile 2
<Event - Display Unlocked> Context
:Enter: Set variable %USERPRESENT = 1 Enter task and action

Thank you, that actually makes perfect sense. I guess what I have come to find out is that some phones do not allow certain tasks (i.e. the unrooted Atrix does not allow the Password Lock = off task).

Am I wrong on that point?
