Pangoscript Code Fragments

[m0f]

I tried searching for any threads re sharing of pangoscript code and couldn't find anything, so figured I'd start this thread as a place to paste anything you might find useful.

Dual (or more) purpose faders :
(This assigns a toggle button to shift the faders to allow for a second purpose for them, and could be modified for multiple shift buttons or multiple presses of a single shift button to cycle through more functions)

To start with add this to initialization script (under the scripting tab of the midi controller settings)

globalvar myfadershift
myfadershift = 0

The either run the initialization script or exit and restart beyond

Then choose a button you want to use for the shift function, in this example I used #1 of the track selection on the apc40 (90 33 xx and 80 33 xx)

So under 90 33 xx in pangoscript setting under the midi controller add this

if (myfadershift = 0) goto toggleon
if (myfadershift = 1) goto toggleoff
toggleon:
myfadershift = 1
MidiOut 0x90, 0x33, 0x7F
exit

toggleoff:
myfadershift = 0
MidiOut 0x90, 0x33, 0x00
exit

Then I'll use fader #3 in this example (B2 07 xx)

Add the following code under b2 07 xx (using brightness and scanrate as examples, modify as needed)

if (myfadershift=0) goto scanrateset
brightness ExtValue(0,100);
exit

scanrateset:
ScanRate ExtValue(0,200);
exit

Of course you'll need to modify this code as needed and apply to any fader you want a double function for.

Just made this one tonight, here's some code for a slider for variable rotation for 6 lasers. For "star geometry" circular mounting, set slider values max 30, min 0. For example with max of 30, lasers would be at 30, 90, 150, 210, 270, 330 degrees for a circular formation, and variable anywhere in between. You'll need to adjust your zone names to fit your setup.

// PangoScript code template
// .. put you initialization command here
var leftangle
var rightangle
var midleftangle
var midrightangle
var farleftangle
var farrightangle

exit // each section always should have EXIT command

OnChange:
// put your code below

leftangle = value
rightangle = 0 - value
midleftangle = 3 * value
midrightangle = 0 - (3 * value)
farleftangle = 5 * value
farrightangle = 0 - (5 * value)

ClickLCTabMode 3 // 1-Master, 2-Cue, 3-Zone
ControlZone "Far Right"
AngleX 0
AngleY 0
AngleZ farrightangle
ControlZone "Left"
AngleX 0
AngleY 0
AngleZ leftangle
ControlZone "Right"
AngleX 0
AngleY 0
AngleZ rightangle
ControlZone "Mid Left"
AngleX 0
AngleY 0
AngleZ midleftangle
ControlZone "Mid Right"
AngleX 0
AngleY 0
AngleZ midrightangle
ControlZone "Far Left"
AngleX 0
AngleY 0
AngleZ farleftangle
ClickLCTabMode 1 // 1-Master, 2-Cue, 3-Zone
exit // do not remove EXIT

OnMouseDown:
// put your code below

exit // do not remove EXIT

OnMouseUp:
// put your code below

exit // do not remove EXIT

...and then an ancient old man all covered in moss has spoken (in the voice of Deckard Cain): "Yes... yes... i recall a very old memory, there was a time when we used to code with GOTO"

I remember using it in basic back in the days of the commodore

I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a command / variable to control multi zone time shift for an entire FX layer ? There is one for master cues, and also one in each individual effect, but I can't seem to find one to control an entire layer of fx.

The reason is I find if trying to apply multi zone time shift to more than one effect, it will only work properly for one effect at a time, and if master cue multi zone time shift is turned on, the individual effect time shifts stop working. I'm not sure if it's a bug or just a general limitation ?

But if there was one that would work for an entire layer of fx, and preferably with individual control of all 4 layers at once, that would do the trick.

Also, does anyone know what the checkbox "Enable master effect shift for this effect" in the effect properties page does ? I can't seem to notice a difference either way, but think it might somehow have something to do with what I'm looking to do.
