<p>But I'd like to suggest some helpful advancement. The feature is especially helpful to keep the workspace clean, even with a lot of controls.</p>
<p>But if you have a lot of controls, you need to change a lot of addresses (beside connecting those to the actors).<br />It would be amazing, if there would be some automation in the process.<br /><br />As an example, you build a group of controls, lets say to manage a movie player, but you need a second or even third player in one scene.<br />To keep it clean, one would only want to show the controls of one player at a time.<br />To achieve this, the addresses could be /Player1/Speed, /Player1/position, etc. . <br />After building the controls for player 1, one would copy/paste all controls, needing to change all the numbers in the addresses manually.<br />To avoid this time consuming process of changing all the numbers in the addresses one by one, there could be used some coding variable, which would update the numbers dynamically.</p>
<p>E.g.:<br />manually putting /Player(1)/Speed/ in the address field.<br />When this controls are copy/pasted, there is a process started, which checks the addresses of each control, recognising the numbers in the ( ) and automatically increasing them by one or maybe a number, which is set by a menu option.<br />There could even be an option like the ID auto update option to avoid double IDs. Meaning, if I copy/paste a control with the address /Player(1)/Speed, but when pasting it, there already is a controller with /Player(2)/Speed, it will give it the /Player(3)/Speed or any next free number.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/9232/logged-advancing-the-new-control-address-function-with-automation</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 20 May 2026 10:15:18 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/9232.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Mon, 26 May 2025 17:01:30 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to [LOGGED] Advancing the new control address function with automation on Fri, 30 May 2025 16:21:52 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/740">@dillthekraut</a> said:</p>

<p> Yes, this has been driving me nuts as well.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/56395</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/56395</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Woland]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2025 16:21:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to [LOGGED] Advancing the new control address function with automation on Thu, 29 May 2025 17:55:15 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/740">@dillthekraut</a></p><p>I've logged the idea to our feature request database.</p><p>We have plans to extent the functionality of the control addressing, so we will consider this as we workout the best way forward.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/56387</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/56387</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[DusX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2025 17:55:15 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
