Hi!
I have 4 moving heads. I want to program a scene where they go to a defined position, but not all together. I want them to start with an offset, as I can do it with EFX, so that the first moving starts getting to the position, then the second follows after a defined pause and so on.
How can I do that?
I've tried by programming an EFX with a height of 1 and a width of 1, but that didn't work.
Thank you for your help!

scenes: start offset as for EFX?

Hi,
simplest way would be to create 8 scenes, 2 for each head: one starting position and one final. Then create 5 collections: 1: all on start, 2: first one at final pos, others still on start, ... 5: all at final position
Then create chaser with these 5 steps, and set proper duration and fade time.
Alternatively, create line EFX one end of the line at start, the other at final position, and set mode to serial in one tab, and single shot in the other. I've never used this mode myself, but it should do what you want to do. http://www.qlcplus.org/docs/efxeditor.html
Third way is using scripts: create 8 scenes as in the first way. Then create script: first start all 4 start scenes, then start first final scene, some wait, start second final scene, wait, etc. and finally stop all scenes (maybe not needed).
See http://www.qlcplus.org/docs/rgbscriptapi.html or in the online help.
Maybe I'll try later if I find sometime so that I can give you more precise instructions, but I hope this will give you enough for start.

Hi Jano,
I just want one single position to get the moving heads to, there's no need having a start position.
I've already tried with a script (1. scene, pause, 2. scene...), but when the second scene starts the first moving is set to 000/000 on pan/tilt. Can't find out what I did wrong.
Edit: I've created a show now with each scene on a different line with some offset, seems to work now.
