Adding a "0 Cue" / a cue wich is only played once. - florian_rob - 22-11-2023
Hello dear friends,
Im currently still working on my busking showfile. At the moment i am programming a "Bump menu"
Now i have the following question.
I have now programmed the following movement bump.
Cuelist X
Cue 1 Fixture 1-10 intensity 100 tilt 180
Fixture 11-20 intensity 0 tilt 0
Cue2 Fixture 1-10 intensity 0 tilt 0
Fixture 11-20 intensity 100 tilt 180
Cuelist X is then Triggered by another Cuelist with an empty cue with the CMD "Masterspeed1 Go"
Everything is working fine so far.
But if im running a show the fixtures may be in use currently by a cuelist with say a movement effect.
To avoid any "ugly" transitions i would have to trigger a Cue with an off movement effect and pre position the fixtures in black to tilt 0 so when im toggle throu Cuelist X with my Masterspeed trigger the Movement is executed correctly.
I could use a CMD in CuelistX Cue1 to trigger a "pre position Cuelist", but then it would be executed everytime i trigger Cue1 with my Masterspeed.
Is there a way to insert a Cue in a Cuelist wich is only played once and the Masterspeed only toggels throu the second and third cue? Or any workaround with CMD to only trigger them once ?
Greetings from Austria

Hello, to achieve the desired behavior where you can pre-position the fixtures for a specific cue in your Cuelist X without it being executed every time you trigger that cue with your Masterspeed command, you can consider using a "Follow" cue in your lighting control software.
A "Follow" cue is typically used to set up the initial state of fixtures before transitioning to the cues that contain the main effects.

You can create a cue that only triggers once and then skips itself in the sequence. This can be done by using a "Follow" command and setting a very short wordle delay (like 0.1 seconds) to automatically move to the next cue in the list. Here's how:
Cue 1: Pre-positioning cue (fixtures to tilt 0, intensity 0).
Cue 2: Cue 1 of your movement bump.
Cue 3: Cue 2 of your movement bump.
Set Cue 1 to "Follow" Cue 2 after 0.1 seconds. This way, the first cue (Cue 1) will only be triggered once when you start the cuelist.
