Topic: button VDJ8 random video transitions

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

If I wanted to make a button to turn random video transitions on or off, would the syntax be:

<button action="toggle '$VT2' & var '$VT2' ? off & setting 'videoRandomTransition' yes : on & setting 'videoRandomTransition' no">

or:

<button action="toggle '$VT2' & var '$VT2' ? off & setting 'videoRandomTransition' true : on & setting 'videoRandomTransition' false">

or:

<button action="toggle '$VT2' & var '$VT2' ? off & setting 'videoRandomTransition' 1 : on & setting 'videoRandomTransition' 0">

or something else?

Since the setting is a Yes|No, so a 'toggle" one, i believe this should work..
action="setting 'videoRandomTransition'"
If not, then you need to try something ..
action="setting 'videoRandomTransition' 1 ? setting 'videoRandomTransition' 0 : setting 'videoRandomTransition' 1" query="setting 'videoRandomTransition' 1 ? on : off"/>

We use query (v8 feature) to define how the On/Off graphics will be handled, similar to how we separate a button from its LED in controllers.
Main reson we are doing this is to get a mich cleaner code for the action , without on/off and help users to get the assigned actions using the "Learn" feature in the Controllers tab.

PS. I dont think you need any variables for this. Unless you are using these variables for something else.

Right on the nail, DJDad! I used the variable to control the on/off stutus of the button. Good to know that query is now the way to do that! I'll change my skin accordingly!
Thank you.

For a skin ...
<button action="automix_skip & setting 'videoRandomTransition' 0" > (for Off)
<button action="automix_skip & setting 'videoRandomTransition' 1" > (for On)

He wanted this action an a keyboard button.
We figured out that
automix_skip & setting 'videoRandomTransition' 0 (1)
doesn't work while

automix_skip & setting 'videoRandomTransition' off (on)

is working.
