Hi everyone,

I have a new dumb question.

I am generating some 'network cue' and neccessary to give a 'hotkey trigger' to fire the cue later.
I would like to switch on and give value for a hotkey trigger in a cue, using scripting. I read in 'Script Editor' how can I do, but it looks it is not enough for giving the 'value'. The truth is that, I am not sure what is the correct command line. 
I give the line:
'set hotkey trigger of cue "1" to true'. It is not enough.
Nothing is happening. 
Have to give a number or letter to hotkey trigger but how?

I'm glad to get a good answer from you.

Best,
Kalman

set the hotkey trigger of cue "1" to enabled

set the hotkey trigger of cue "1" to disabled

You can't set the trigger key with a script or OSC. Why do you need to ?

If you really need to set the hotkey trigger keystroke from a script, ensure the trigger window is open in the inspector and  use this UIscript

tell application "System Events" to tell (first application process whose bundle identifier is "com.figure53.QLab.4")

   set the value of text area 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 to "B"

end tell

Hi Mic,

Let's leave it, it seems to complicated for me, it's not worth bothering with....

But thanks for your kindness to helping me.
What doesn't work doesn't work. I mean it doesn't work for me.

Best
