Hi all
Many thanks for the pointers and info. Sorry for not getting back earlier, just the day it has being.
I think jfg has nailed it for me.
The Trigger Text actor seems to be what I seek.
I have been overthinking this. I, effectively, juat need a placeholder that allow me to have a one button entry for a set time which enables the streamdeck usage.
My custom timer has a countdown that works like a traffic light in terms of the colour warnings. I do a lot of death by powerpoint and I am looking to use the timer as a notification to the presenters.
By using the trigger text actor, I can set the placeholder for the time on the screen. This time may change from presenter to presenter and I am just looking to automate this via a streamdeck. Not all around me are familiar with Isadora (give it time!) etc. Previous to this, I was just editing the various sections on the patch. I now have other people coming into the workplace and this will allow me to populate the streamdeck with standard times, start, stop etc in the streamdeck.
I was confusing the issue with TC but JFG's suggestion got me thinking ref the trigger text. I have two items I wish to achieve, a placeholder and a countdown timer. I was looking at this process as one action rather than two actions if actually is.
I had a quick try out and in a rough manner it works.
Many thanks all and I will gladly accept the award for the most obtuse query of the year.
Hopefully that explains my methodology.
Thank you
