Qlab 4 script to Stop all running cues

[stuartca...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I've used Qlab for a number of years but I've never used script cues within it.

I need to program a hot key on an external keypad that can essentially emergency stop all running cues and I believe a script cue can do this? although I'm having problems making it work! 

I'm using the below script which I found online but it does not seem to work, am I doing something wrong or missing something?

tell application "QLab" set cueList to current cue list of workspace 1 set mySel to cues of cueList repeat with myCue in mySel if running of myCue and q type of myCue is not "Script" then stop myCue end if end repeat end tell

Do I need to replace anything within that generic script which is specific to my workspace/file or should it just work?

(I'm running Qlab 4 and my workspace has light, sound and video cues in, if this makes any difference)

any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Stuart

It’s easier to just use a network cue with OSC sent to localhost, with the trigger set to your hotkey.

Or even simpler if the cues you want to stop are in a single list

Use a stop or fade cue targeting the cue list.
