Topic: Script Help.............

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I would like a script that would clone a track on an empty deck on the opposite side. So I have a track playing on deck 1 & 2 and I want to clone deck 1 but have it on play on deck 4. Also vice versa (deck 2 playing and clone to deck 3).

Any help would be greatly appreciated & Thanks for the help
Huey

Edit, can someone move this to the PC forum, I think that's where it goes.......Thanks

I think its "deck 4 clone_deck 1" "deck 3 clone_deck 2"
 
Ok that works but............if there is a song on the deck I wanna clone too it clones that track back to the deck it was suppose to be cloning from. Hope that makes sense. Ok here, I wanna clone "Push it" to deck 4 from deck 1 but deck 4 has "ride it" on it. Well when I push the button to clone "Push it" it puts "ride it" back on deck 1. It clones the wrong way...........also how would I clone and loop. Wait I got the clone and loop. But I need it to clone no matter what from deck 1 to deck 4 and from deck 2 too deck 3.

Hope that makes sense.........Thanks for the time

I'm not entirely sure that makes any sense bro LOL, So I think you want to

deck 4 clone_deck 1 & deck 1 clone_deck 4

that should swap the playing tracks on the decks, but it will have a gap in the sound, It might be easier and less cpu intensive to swap the controllers me thinks, I don't know how to do it exactly but it should be similar to the 4 deck swap I had a look at the script list but I couldn't see what you would need, hopefully djdad or one of the teamers will be able to point you in the right direction. did you just need it so you can scratch but be able to alternate the deck?

you could use clone_deck & loop as it continues playing from the same spot if playing, but on my system at least, it would have a gap
 
Basically it won't clone to the deck if it has a track on it, even if its not playing. I want deck 1's track to go on deck 4, but if deck 4 has track on it that track goes back to deck 1, which is wrong.

Hope that's alittle better

okay just to clarify... option (a) If deck 4 has a track on it when your cloning you don't want that to go to deck 1, you want to leave deck 1 open so you can mix in another track in

option (b) if deck 4 has a track on it when cloning you want deck 4 to go to deck 1 when cloning

option (c) If deck 4 has a track loaded you don't want to be able to clone the decks

were any of them right?
 
Lol!! No,
I'm going from deck 1 to deck 4.
But what's happening is,
If I try to get deck 1's track to go to deck 4 , the track thats on deck 4 will go to deck 1.
It works just fine when there isn't a track on deck 4.

Thanks for the time bro, lol!

I'm gonna post a video tonight so yall can see what I mean. There is a bug with the clone or the script is wrong. Cause it should always clone from deck 1 too deck 4 and it does. It'll do the opposite if deck 4 has a track on it, which in my mind is totally wrong. I mean even the script says go from deck 1 to deck 4. But for some reason it'll only work if deck 4 is empty............ Somethings not right.

I'm pretty sure that's option (a) bro LOL

for that maybe

deck 4 clone_deck 1 & deck 1 unload

hang on a sec....

i think you mean its working the wrong way around... well why didn't you say so LMAO

all the options I can think of are

deck 4 clone_deck 1
deck 1 clone_deck 4
deck 1 clone_deck 4 & deck 4 clone_deck 1
deck 4 clone_deck 1 & deck 1 clone_deck 4
deck 4 clone_deck 1 & deck 1 unload
deck 4 clone_deck 1 & deck 4 unload
deck 4 load ? nothing : deck 4 clone_deck 1
 
I only want to clone to deck 4,
I don't ever want to clone from deck 4.

Just try the script you gave me first. Load deck 1, now hit your script. Ok deck 1s track is now on deck 4, right? Yup. Ok stop both decks and load a different track on deck 1 and hit your script again, see what happens. Deck 4s track goes to deck 1 which is not suppose to happen.....

Try it and youll see bro.

HAHA got there in the end LOL that was fun, hope it was for you too bro :P

well there's good news and there's bad news.... the bad news is that, that is weird I don't know why it does it... The good news is that I fixed it :) "deck 4 unload & deck 4 clone_deck 1"
 
Lmao!! Thanks bro!! But atleast I know I'm not crazy now. It shouldn't work that way so I'm gonna say its a definite bug!!
