@Kathmandale @mark_m my project works!!!! im over the moon thanks for much for your help guys!!

@jameshooton

I should also have a much more detailed version on the Plugin Page soon (which can handle set durations, random durations, no fades, crossfades, and randomly select a video, picture, or sound file). It's just waiting to be approved. 

Until then, here's the file: 2020-12-07 - 3.0.7 - Random Media + Random Duration.zip

@hollyjw

it works. You must link the monitor ID to the video out of the video In Watcher.

Click on video to get this panel and enter the ID of the Monitor Control (in the picture it is 1)

@videosmith

Great! Gonna try that as first thing in the european morning!

Thanks!

@woland thanks!

...but when I was with it, it would always be looking over my shoulder, waiting to meet its other friends...

Here's an example patch

The first Scene is your "preshow" scene. In this Scene you'll just press spacebar to start the cycling Scenes going in their loop.

The next three Scenes (Cycling Scenes 1-3) are identical. They have example content in them, and an Enter Scene Trigger connected to a Trigger Delay (15 secs) that will trigger a jump to the next scene after the delay. There's also a Gate (controlled by a Keyboard Watcher) between the Trigger Delay actor and the Jump actor so that if you need to program something in the Scene, you can press "a" to temporarily disable the automatic jump.

The Final Scene is an example of what to do if you want the Scenes to continue looping forever. It's essentially identical to the previous three cycling Scenes, but instead of jumping to the next Scene (because there isn't a next Scene) it jumps to the first cycling Scene, which starts the loop again.

Hope that's helpful :)

Hi @dusx the top comparator in the second row outputs "true" when there's a match but "true" and "false" when there isn't... as you say i think its a timing issue and its input is actually going from 1 to 0 very fast, hence causing true and false output

i've managed to create a work-around by increasing the first router's number of outputs from 9 to 10 and also the first table's number of inputs from 9 to 10 and then ignoring the first of each, as per this updated patch Step Sequencer (ver 25) workaround.izz which now achieves what i was after

Try this 3.0.7 Text:ure Preview.zip

Thanks the floet to integer actor is a good idea, I will play with that1

To reset the actor in case it trackes the background I now decided to use this simple set-up with a comparator defining the max z distance.

Thanks

If you need something much more true to the laws of physics, you can look at this demo:

The DEMO FILE is zipped with the required Javascript files (all reside in the same folder).
I have included a number of resource URLs in the JS code, that will be helpful in figuring out how this works.

@tomthebom

Yes that's true it works without the trigger value actor, but only to activate the button, except you invert the values of the button. Trigger value gives you direct control to what state the button should be.

@notdoc

...and part of the problem is that i fail to read to the end of the tutorial where some important scene-control stuff gets explained... a lesson for the future :-)

@dusx thanks I've opened it but lots of infos there, I need to take more time to understand it more deeply;-)

nice to have it this way, but what about the other directon?

 What other direction? Typing and having it translated to morse code? Like this?

Morse Code v002 LWS.izz

What you can also do is use a Enter Scene Trigger and a Trigger value to 0, connect that to all your Audio Players, that way when you enter the scene all active fields get a zero causing them to become OFF instead of ON. :)

@dbini said:

does it do the same thing as the Multi Blocker?

 It looks roughly equivalent, yeah.

@jsegal99

No problem. Is there anything else I can help you with?

@reinhard

Great thanks for this! I will try it out.

@Michel Thank you!
