Hi,
I was thinking of having an "End Of Song" chaser that I can launch with one button. It would make ALL lights go black and one second later bring the lights at front of stage back up.
No problem so far. However, what if I have one RGBMatrix running together with a chaser (both on different fixtures ofcourse).
I don't see how I can get the two functions stopped in one time.(button)
Grtzz,
Mario

Hi,
me again. I think I have found a way to do what I want and that is by using a script. The script starts my two (or more) functions.
My "end-of song" button that is in the same solo-frame as the button that starts the script stops the script and thus stops the specific functions. Seams to work.
What do you think? Is there a better way to do this?
Regards,
Mario

No - the script is the best way to kill running functions hard in your scenario.
The only thing I'm afraid of - how to recover from the dark? I don't like a completely dark stage... You need to rebuild everything again ...

All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

Hi Fredje,
thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your input because I need to be reassured (still not feeling 100% confidence in my workflow)
The "end-of-song" button in the solo-frame with the script would start a chase that after 1/2 sec of darkness brings the fixtures in the front back up to white...after again 2 or 3 seconds all the fixtures fade into the preset colours so that the stage is ready for the next song.
Technically this is working. (I'm building up as I write and will share my .qwx file soon)
