So my LD wants a fire effect with various levels. So I built a few fire effects that he likes, the problem is that I run the first effect in a que. and the next effect in the next que. But the effect starts as a bump while the first effect shuts off and the next one starts. Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance.
Do the two effects you have in two subsequent cues control the same channels? I've had similar problems recently with chase effects. The reason for this is that you can only apply one effect at a time to a channel paramater. As a result, if you have different effects in two consecutive cues and both effects have some common channels, the first effect will snap off, and the second will snap on.
For the time, I'd suggest using one effect for the fire. I guess you could try building a second cue list with a loop commands and build the levels that way and then a second subroutine....but that sounds really smeggy and dull.
Does anybody know if you can run an intensity level and an effect at the same time?
I would love to run just 1 effect but he wants small fire to start then big fire at the end. Yes both effects are running the same channels just at a different level. I told the Ld this isn't available yet with the Eos, but you know he didn't like that answer. We (Mike & I) have a few ideas we are going to try. First I think if I bring the channnels to 50 in part 1of the cue then part 2 will start the effect and take over intensity. Not sure if it will work but next time we go back to that show I'm gonna try it. Or I guess the other answer would be to add a few lights and channels and run 2 seperate effects on to 2 different sets of fire lights.
