Script only for RGB?

[Markus Harthum]

Hi,

I'd like to create little scripts to for example make lights ficker, or strobe like a fluorescent bulb etc. I know that this can be done with a chaser. But I'd like to write a little script so i can change flicker frequency, min/max values etc.

Can something like this done within QLC using a RGB Matrix script?

Thanks
Markus

Yes, it can be done using an RGB script. Not really complicated, but you need to write some javascript. Unless you cheat a little

For making a light flicker without writing your own script...
Create a group with 2 fixtures, and don't put them right next to each other. Leave space between the two.
Then, create a function using a random script.
The empty space will be used by the script as if it was full of fixtures, but it will not light anything.
See screenshots.
(If you want to make a single fixture flicker, you can add a second "false" fixture in the group)

Then you can increase the space between the fixtures to make them light up less often, or play with step speeds to change the effect a little.

Thanks for your reply,

i think I#m going to write my own scripts for various flickering modes, but for now its good to know the workaround! I actualy found it works quite well using your method with the text function, since this can set multiple fixtures on at the same time.
