Next waiting cue

[ataylo...@orcsd.org]

Hello,

Is there a way to get a list of the cues currently waiting on pre-waits to execute?  I'd like to get the next cue to fire and feed it into a titles cue for a presenter display.

Thanks,

Alexander

You could probably construct an AS query based on "active cues" and "pre wait" and "percent pre wait elapsed" to work out which running cue is going to complete its pre wait next, but how would you raise the query? Would you poll the active cues list every 1s? Or run the script on every GO?

Wouldn't it be better to program exactly what you want displayed when rather than try to query the ever-changing list of running cues on the fly and planning for all possible scenarios?

Unfortunately, I can't statically program what I want to display.  This project is looking at things from a different perspective.  Instead of what's running as cues during a show, this project is addressing managing preshow and postshow events, so it's a (potentially) smaller number of cues that won't be changing dynamically during the event, but may change on a per-event basis.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that approach.

Is there a way to get the list of a group cue’s contents via OSC or AppleScript?  Then I could iterate down checking pre-wait times, and that would do it.  Looked at the documentation and didn’t see anything relating to it.

Thanks,

Alexander

cues of cue "1" -- Or whatever

You can have lots of fun burrowing down into Group Cues inside Group Cues… For example, this routine to clear the cue number of selected cues that aren't directly in a cue list:

set userEnterIntoGroups to true -- Set this to false if you don't want the script to act on children of selected Group Cues

tell front workspace

set cuesToProcess to (selected as list)

if userEnterIntoGroups is true then

set i to 0

repeat until i = (count cuesToProcess)

set eachCue to item (i + 1) of cuesToProcess

set eachType to q type of eachCue

if eachType is "Group" then

set cuesToProcess to cuesToProcess & cues of eachCue

end if

set i to i + 1

end repeat

end if

repeat with eachCue in cuesToProcess

if parent of eachCue is not current cue list then

set q number of eachCue to ""

end if

end repeat

end tell

That’s great, thanks!
