How do I use the $invokeObject?

[Github-User-002]

I would like to start and stop pipes programmatically via script:
const motorRunning = $getTag($getTagId('Run_DI_vacon')).value;
const valvePos = $getTag($getTagId('HR_POSVTRANS')).value;

// test and command the pipes
if (valvePos > 25 && motorRunning) {
$invokeObject('Pipe_c1', 'turnCounterClockwise');

}

....
How do I do this?
what is the intention of $invoceObject ??

I tried both client and server execution

Hi, the $invokeObject is to invoke some public function of Gauge (client script), Pipe Gauge currently don't support it.

Pipe should support (multiple) boolean operations because there are valves that direct flows in many systems ie. pump must be on AND valve open or more/less than some value. Cumbersome to have to script to check every second to change a fuxa variable if both events are true. This is true of many animations in complex systems

For some users, it's primarily about boolean conditions (e.g., pump ON AND valve OPEN), while for others, it's more about numeric comparisons (value > min AND < max) or even more advanced logic.
Designing an intuitive UI that can satisfy all these diverse needs is definitely a challenge.
