Re: [QLab] Creating a latch switch

[Sam Kusnetz]

Hello Person-who-hasn’t-revealed-their-name

If your script works, then that’s terrific. I wanted to make sure you were aware, though, that in QLab 4, you can set a cue to respond to a second trigger while it’s running. This is done in the lower right corner of the inspector.

Cheerio

Is it possible to create a latch switch hotkey? 

For example:

• pressing a hotkey will fire a folder containing 
• • Cue to start a video
  • OSC cue to turn on the lights from a light console.

• pressing the same hotkey a second time will fire another folder containing 
• • a cue to stop the video
  • OSC cue to turn off the light again.

Last question, I don't want to target cue's by number like I did (cue "200"), but by name. How can I do that?

Cues do not have to have unique names, so this isn’t really possible in a reliable way.

Hi hxw,

Last question, I don't want to target cue's by number like I did (cue "200"), but by name. How can I do that? 

IIRC, „200“ is just one way of naming in the number-field.

QLab accepts names like „this cue“ in the number-field, too.

So, your script works too like this:

tell application "QLab 3.2"

tell front workspace

if running of cue "this cue" then

start cue "that cue"

else

start cue "this cue"

end if

end tell

end tell

With kindest regards…

The QLab 4 behaviour wouldn’t have helped anyway: no way to fire a different OSC command on retrigger…

There a few ways of doing this without using AppleScript – for example, each Group Cue could disarm itself and arm the other – but I think the most elegant is to put the two Group Cues in a separate cue list (with a GoTo Cue to loop round) and set the hotkey on that list. Each press of the hotkey toggles between starting the first or second group.
