Topic: Skin script only when slider is on hot_cue
Hello,

I would like to make a blinking effect to a slider ONLY when the slider is on a hot_cue position.
So not when the slider is on the temporary cue.

I can visualize the hotcue with this second part of the script, but nog blinking when the hotcue is pressed.

See my script below. (this aint working).

<!--blink if active hotcue-->
<slider action="cue_pos" color="cue_color 1" visibility="hot_cue 1? blink 500ms : nothing">
<size width="787" height="100"/>
<pos x="245" y="1590-10-230+55"/>
<fader>
<size width="41" height="41" />
<off color="white"/>
</fader>
</slider>

<!--hotcue on songpos-->
<slider action="cue_pos 1" visibility="hot_cue 1">
<size width="785" height="100"/>
<pos x="245" y="1590-10-230+55"/>
<fader>
<size width="35" height="35" />
<off color="#fd0015"/>
<text font="arial" dx="+0" dy="+0" fontsize="34" align="center" weight="bold" color="black" text="A"/>
</fader>

Any ideas?

needs a space between hot_cue 1 , ?
 
Hi, i have tried this but didn`t make a difference. When using "hotcue 1 ?" it checks if it has a hotcue and not when the position is on hotcue 1.

I script it in an other way (see below). This time it looks to the position of the cue (hotcue in my case) but the problem is the blinking effect also occur on the tempory cue when i move the slider on the position of the hotcue and only when the track is in pause mode.

If the track is playing and the position goes over the hotcue you don`t notice the blinking.

It would sure not be a big problem, but it gives me deeper knowledge how VDJ skin scripting works.


<!--temporary cue-->
<slider action="cue_pos" color="cue_color 1" visibility="true">
<size width="785" height="100"/>
<pos x="247" y="1590-10-230+53"/>
<fader>
<size width="40" height="40"/>
<off color="alpha"/>
<text font="arial" dx="+0" dy="+0" fontsize="43" align="center" weight="bold" color="red" text="▼"/>
</fader>
</slider>

<!--blink if active hotcue-->
<slider action="cue_pos" color="white" visibility="cue 1 ? blink 400ms : cue 2 ? blink 400ms : cue 3 ? blink 400ms : cue 4 ? blink 400ms :
cue 5 ? blink 400ms : cue 6 ? blink 400ms : cue 7 ? blink 400ms : cue 8 ? blink 400ms :
false">
<size width="779" height="100"/>
<pos x="250" y="1590-10-230+78"/>
<fader>
<size width="34" height="5" />
<off color="white"/>
</fader>
</slider>
 
You can use something like cue_countdown param_equal 0 `cue_countdown`
This script does not accept cue numbers and returns true when the playhead position is exactly "on any cue" position.
This means that it will return true for temporary cue (cue 0) as well
 
Hi,

I would like to let blink the hotcue’s only and not the temporary cue. (When its selected).

When in playing mode you dont see/notice the blinking (maybe its there).

Is there a possibilty to use the countdown query to a hotcue only? Or maybe send an TRUE if the comparison off some script match the position of the hotcue only?
 
What's exactly the desired behavior ?
I gave you a solution to a specific problem, but I don't know what you're actually after.
I understand that you try to mimic some Pioneer gear behavior, but still I can't understand what you want.

So, explain it with as much details as possible if you want me to give a more complete / "copy-paste friendly" solution..
 
I hope i can expain it well with the help of this video.

A blinking effect under a hotcue is only wanted when the hotcue`s are selected AND not when a
temporary cue is set (the red triangle).

For that i made this stript, but don`t work.

<!--blink if active hotcue-->
<slider action="cue_pos" color="white" visibility="cue 1 ? blink 400ms : hot_cue 2 ? blink 400ms : cue 3 ? blink 400ms : cue 4 ? blink 400ms :
cue 5 ? blink 400ms : cue 6 ? blink 400ms : cue 7 ? blink 400ms : cue 8 ? blink 400ms :
nothing">
<size width="779" height="100"/>
<pos x="250" y="1590-10-230+78"/>
<fader>
<size width="34" height="5" />
<off color="white"/>
</fader>
</slider>

Use this visibility="param_equal 0 `get_cue` ? off : blink 400ms"
