MACRO 10099 Set Up Color Picker Cues

This was my thought process while writing m10099; I made some changes after the last round of pseudocode in this document, which you can see in the showfile itself but not here. I hope it's interesting to see how I arrived where I did with the macro.

#     HOKAY SO here's what we need to do

the pending cue gets color palette 1002
that cue
* has a time of 0
* auto follows onto the .1 after it. 
  - the .1 has a time of Manual (this can be changed by macros later, but we're not worrying about that rn)

the .1 cue: everybody gets Inactive. then the relevant channel gets Active.

after applying color palettes, we have to apply "Make Null" to each of the following cues in the stack. preceding should be okay, because there's no data until the first move instruction (to pending)
this is probably best done by selecting the next cue thru the end of the list, and then we can apply Make Null on our current operating channel.

fix up cue timing and following

as usual in eos macros, state is a massive problem.


problems arose!

every time I write a .1 cue, after writing the Pending color palette, I need to make every other pixel in the cue null. this is more important than the other Make Null that I wrote, perhaps entirely supplanting the necessity. rows not columns.


#     TODO
clear other pending cues, if you change your mind. e.g. click red on Hi Sides SL, but then decide you want them blue - both currently will retain a selection indicator. I think this is fixable with a Query selector.
Query Is In Color Palette 1003   || can't select by being in "Pending", because eos is in the .1 cue just stuck at the very beginning bc manual timing.
                                 || therefore, we can see the currently Pending (to us) palette by searching for cp1003, "Active"
we do need to also do this query to _not_ grab items that are in active but _completed_ in their cues, because that would take away the color of the active cue indicator which we worked so hard to maintain.

NEVER MIND ALL THAT QUERY STUFF all i had to do was limit my Make Null to the White channel, so that selecting a new Pending cue douses every other red


finish writing macro 10096, to populate all the executes on cue list 100/


#     Pseudocode attempt 4
clear all existing cue data for g19101 in q1 thru q25
set time to 0 for q1 thru q25

create 0.1 clones of cues
reset to cue 1

clear command line

Select last   || this will be g19101.1 the first time through, because we preloaded it; future times through will iterate from the end
