Topic: adding an action poi via script - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

It would be great to be able to script adding an action poi including the action

So maybe like
set_mixpoint 'action' 'reverse'
or maybe
cue 10 'action' 'reverse'
or simply
cue 10 'reverse'

That would for instance make it easier to create pad pages for faster setting/controlling DMX light integration on specific tracks

Would be interesting, might be abused

Best idea I've heard in a while.

I missed this post oO
cue_color and cue_select exists
cue_name exists but opens an input box
but no cue type and cue_action

and cue_action 10 'reverse on' (or any other implementation) may be dangerous
cue_action 9 'reverse off' would actually not work
make cues read when reversed too (ping pong loop)

I promise I was just looking in the same direction (but you were first)

A recent addition missed feature ?
added to my perso doc ^^
Note allows name to be passed as a parameter:
get_text `get_loaded_song title` & param_cast text & cue_name 1
is working as well :)
 
been working like that for years :) , pre V8, If I recall it broke once or twice back in the 8.0 days but it got fixed quickly after I pulled it.

I was trying to re-create with a script this POI on the Pads (see the image), after a couple of days I hit this post and I see that is not possible...

I hope they implement
poi_type (hotcue, remix, action, load_point, etc...)
cue_type (marker only, invinsible, cue)
macro_action (script)
 
 
Hi!

this is what i think it is? I cannot find the way to use it in the documentation, for now the line is empty, just cue_action:, in https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript_verbs_v8.html



I'll have to wait for those wonderful and helpful video tuts from Klaus :)

Anyway, so happy to see this implementation.
Cheers
 
cue_action X "SCRIPT"
x being cue number.

Thank you LOCODOG, got it!
 
Yes ! ! So Love it .. will save me many hours opening the POI editor and all the subsequent steps/clicks, to create an action for a hotcue.

And still wishing for a script to set the cue invisible and marker only attributes.. then I would rarely need to open the POI editor, and click around.

Again thank you VDJ, for script cue_action... made my day .. wooot !
 
hi Locodoc, I didn't understand that yet.
First question: where do I have to enter this (cue_action 1 "????") ?
second question: which commands can I use as SCRIPT?
can you show an example?
 
1 wherever you want.
2 Any, obviously you can't do absolutely everything as 1 set of " or ' has to be used to hold the script, plus the limitations of apoi have to be remembered [no up/down/doubleclick/holding etc]
but that's the only limitation.
 
Very cool stuff :)

There is something you can do for MARKER ONLY
