[ANSWERED] Cue Times

[tlaloc]

Is there a way to get the fade time into an actor. Example if the bext scene should fade in 16, can I get that value programaticaly in an actor?

Thanks!

@tlaloc
Jump and Jump++ actors?

@tlaloc in addition to @dbini great suggestions, you could also try Jump to Cue - useful if you want to jump forward or backward to a scene that has a specific cue number. This is useful if you are manually addressing scenes with a specific cue number.

Additionally, Activate Scene allows you to activate a secondary scene which runs in the background whilst in the current primary scene.

There's also:

• Jump By Name (which is the basis for my MIDI Show Control template file that I use to make lighting consoles or QLab trigger jumps between Scenes, as well as cues internal to Scenes)
• Deactivate Scene (for use with the Activate Scene actor)
• Activate Scene Amount (usually best used with Envelope Generator, Ease In-Out, or Ease In-Out 2D actors)

Just to cover all the bases, here's this which shows all the options (and includes some User Actors of mine). --> FILE DOWNLOAD

P.S. If you want to be able to set scene jump times across all your scenes globally, you can use Set/Get Global Values for that. My background scene activation User Actors on the bottom right there should be pretty helpful for this too.

Just to confirm, there is no way to pull the time from the scene time shown here at 0 sec?

@woland

The reason I wish for this is if I normally use MSC to take cues/scenes, but there is an internal piece that should take the same amount of time as the scene move, I would like for that value to be able to be programmed in.

 Correct, this value is not programmatically accessible by actors.
