Topic: How to make button light up when effect is on?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi guys.

I have made a button that will activate a clipbank (in this example called "shadow" because it has shadow dancer clips), everytime I push it, with a different (the next) clip:

<button pannel="VFXB4" action="cycle 'shadow' 24 & var_equal 'shadow' 1 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 1 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 2 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 3 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 2 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 4 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 5 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 3 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 6 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 7 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 4 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 8 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 9 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 5 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 10 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 11 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 6 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 12 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 13 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 7 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 14 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 15 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 8 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 16 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 17 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 9 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 18 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 19 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 10 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 20 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 21 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 11 & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 22 ? off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx : var_equal 'shadow' 23 ? video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx_button 12 & video_fx : off & video_fx_select 'shadow' & video_fx">

How can I make this button light up each time the clipbank is activated?

("on" and "off" verbs won't work 'cause it's a cycled button...)

video fx aren't that smart unfortunately... the only thing you could do is have the button lit when you have the effect selected and it is on, but with this method the button will turn off if you select another video effect, even if clipbank is still active.

video_fx_select "clipbank" ? video_fx ? on : off : off
