[ANSWERED] DMX Chases
-
I've been working on some DMX tools and this has stumped me. I'm trying to create a chase effect to be used with multiple fixtures.
Here's a GIF with a reference: https://makeagif.com/i/wjXi7H (the line of LEDs to the left of the stage)
I tried using the wave/envelope generators, but I feel that there are better ways to accomplish that smooth effect, of a sort of "shadow" crossing the light stream. Any ideas?

Some Javascript to make a wrapping offset with multiple outputs would likely do the trick.
With actors the Decay Generator combined with a Sequential Trigger might do the trick. This file might be helpful: kitt-car-lights-v2.izz

@woland Thank you! The Decay + Sequential Trigger helped a lot!

Hi,
I usually do the chases using a sequence of [wave generator] shifting the phase depending on the amount of fixtures in the chase. The limit-scale allows me to set the max-min intensities of the chase.
I also use a Javascript actor to automatically assign the phases: This is actually not really needed since it's generally a one time job and you can do it by hand.
I hope this was clear. Don't hesitate to ask if I was not clear enough.
