Topic: CUE related script (need help)

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm trying to set a button for this


what I have done

set_cue 16 & cue_color 'pink' & cue_name "EXAMPLE"

that script works perfectly. It does what it is told.

but if I set it to

has_cue 16 ? delete_cue 16 : set_cue 16 & cue_color 'pink' & cue_name "EXAMPLE"

the part that removes if cue 16 exist works and if not exist, it sets cue 16 and colors it works but, the NAME is not working.

is this the right way of doing what I wanted to do ?

TIA

set_cue 16 & cue_color 'pink' & cue_name 'EXAMPLE'

just check my script, it's 'EXAMPLE' and not "EXAMPLE"


so here is the right syntax.. fixed all the missing 8


set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink' & cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE'

above works perfectly.


has_cue 8 ? delete_cue 8 : set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink' & cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE'

it works what it supposed to do but the NAME part is not working.

it removes if the cue exist, or add cue, color it pink if it does not and supposed to name it too.

What if there's an existing Cue "number" that you wish did not get deleted? How about a modification to this script to warn there in an existing cue number?

in this example CUE 8, that will be only one remove. If you have other cue 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 etc... 8 will be deleted ( delete_cue 8 )

I am thinking that with an existing eg Cue 18 that you set a month ago , now with this script with a cue 18 that you can activate on the fly. The possibility of modifying this script to warns there is an existing Cue 18 so you do not reset a new cue 18 etc by mistake.

then replace delete_cue to NOTHING


has_cue 8 ? NOTHING : set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink' & cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE'

maybe try use a repeat_start to call the "cue_name" bit with a 33ms delay.

I'm trying/playing with repeat_start no luck.


anyway why it does not work ?


set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink' & cue_name 8 'WORK'

Above works perfectly


now we put CONDITION

has_cue 8 ? nothing : set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink' & cue_name 8 'WORK'

it set cue 8 and color it pink but the name no work.


has_cue 8 ? nothing : set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink'

this works perfectly (deleted the name now)


has_cue 8 ? nothing : set_cue 8 & cue_name 8 'WORK'

this sets cue 8 but the NAME don't work


has_cue 8 ? nothing : set_cue 8 & cue_name 8 'WORK' & cue_color 8 'pink'

this sets cue 8 and COLOR works but again the NAME don't work


it's is skipping the CUE_NAME no matter where you place it.

@ohshit

has_cue 8 ? cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE' ? nothing : cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE' : set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink'

this one will work of what you are looking for but you need to manually delete the CUE 8 in POI (cause the nothing does not work)


has_cue 8 ? cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE' ? delete_cue 8 : cue_name 8 'EXAMPLE' : set_cue 8 & cue_color 8 'pink'


in my case I wanted the nothing to be delete_cue 8 but it does not work (no matter what command you replace nothing it just ignores it.
