So far, I have an actor where I use Stage Mouse Watcher to set hor/ver positions that I pass to a selected Projector. It's working great. I feel like I can grab any box and drag it to any position thanks to tutorials and other solutions here.</p>
<p>Now I'm trying to find the best way to change the zoom of the projector, preferably using the the mouse wheel.</p>
<p>I see I can get the wheel delta x/y which I would want to add to the current zoom of the given projector.</p>
<p>What I can't seem to figure out is how to get the current value of the zoom of a projector. It's easy enough to set it, but since a projector has no outputs, I don't know how I can get the original value to which I would add the delta.</p>
<p>I'm sure I can work around it by setting the zoom each time, perhaps storing last one in a Global Val, but I'm curious if there are any more direct ways of making relative changes to the zoom of a Projector.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/7010/answered-can-i-get-projector-values</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:42:59 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/7010.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2020 15:35:57 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to [ANSWERED] Can I &quot;get&quot; projector values? on Tue, 24 Nov 2020 22:50:08 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/8">@fred</a> I can see how that would be convenient for many things.

I want to get a value, add the scroll wheel delta, and put it back in that value. But even watching for triggers, I haven't gotten it to work cleanly. Seems to add the number a bunch of times in a loop.</p><p>For now, I'll just use right-mouse-down with vertical position for the zoom.</p><p>So I have left-mouse-down to drag the box around the screen and right-mouse-down to change the zoom. It's working well enough, but it seems kinda hard to get the mouse wheel controls to do what I'm looking for.</p><p></p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/43734</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/43734</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[peuclid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2020 22:50:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to [ANSWERED] Can I &quot;get&quot; projector values? on Tue, 24 Nov 2020 21:53:42 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/4126">@peuclid</a> I have wanted access to the input settings of actors for years, I would be a great feature to have.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/43730</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/43730</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2020 21:53:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to [ANSWERED] Can I &quot;get&quot; projector values? on Tue, 24 Nov 2020 17:18:32 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/1435">@woland</a></p><p>That's so cool. I love these little tricks. I guess most actors retain their values, so using a gate just to hold the value, not as an actual gate in this case. I can do that. </p><p>I'm just starting to set up for a new show, so wanted to make it easy to quickly move things around in these early rehearsals so I can get quick turnaround for the designs.

That way you can use the output of the Gate actor as a way to monitor the zoom input of the Projector.</p><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1606237544548-screen-shot-2020-11-24-at-6.05.32-pm.png" /><p>Best wishes,</p><p>Woland</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/43726</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/43726</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Woland]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2020 17:05:54 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
