i have had a look around and cant really find a working solution, but i may have missed it.
were running some Vertical Smoke effects that have light intrgrated into it to light up the smoke plume. works great in Qlight, but i would like to get the lights to over run by a few seconds once the smoke has stopped.
i have currently tried a few different approaches,
1. simple Scene (Smoke ON, Red Light ON) and linked that to a flash button, works great but lights turn off when you let go of the button (as you would expect)
2. Sequence using 2 steps
A. Smoke ON, Light ON.
B. Smoke OFF, Light ON with a fade out of 2s.
This works well but both i appear to find that all of the faders "fade out" so will only slow the smoke with the lights. and as the device does "over shoot" the smoke a bit it would be nice to stop the pump before the lights go off.
3. same as 2 but a 3 step squence and having 2 of step b, as a "go between" of the smoke on and fade out lights, but same behaviour as the 2 step.
3. simple chaser of 2/3 scene's {Smoke on, lights on} & {smoke OFF lights ON} with a fade out. but exactly the same behaviour as options 2 & 3.
am i being really dumb and missing something really stupid?

Try this:
You should notice that:
- the Chaser is in Run Once Mode.
- you start the Chaser by using the Button. The Cue List is only on the VC to monitor the proces, you can remove it (from your VC) if you want to.
- there are two versions of the same (red) scene. This is to be able to apply a Fade Out to one of them.
- there are two Speed Dials: one to set the Run Time (of the chaser) and one to set the Fade Out Time of the (copy of the) Red Scene.
- the Presets on the Speed Dials are just meant as an example, you need to Fine Tune it to your likings.

Have you tried a script?
startfunction:1 // red
startfunction:2 // smoke
wait:5s
stopfunction:2 // smoke
wait:2s
stopfunction:1 // red
The red fades according to the scene setting and if you're looking for a set-and-forget option this script could become a single button press.
