Newbie needs help

Ok

I am a lighting neophyte. I just got a new system

element 2

4 colorsource led spots

 3 colorsource led pars

I am slowly learning my way around, but I am trying to program a cue to handle a fight scene for an upcoming show, and I am lost and hoping someone can give me some detailed instructions. My goal is to learn how to figure this all out, but I am on a time crunch and am a one-man operation at our middle school.

I have the spots set as 1 2 3 4   all in group 1

pars are 11 12 13 in group 2 

all lights in group 3

I have a fight scene that I want to enhance with low light and flashing colors and shapes from all devices, with the lights turning on and off quickly. In this new drama program, I want to avoid the kids performing very close stage fighting, so I aim to make the scene visible without needing it to be perfect.

I've successfully created an effect with colors cycling through the lights, but I want to speed up the color changes, add shaped beams if possible, and introduce a quick shuttering effect.

Can someone help me out?

    With a clear command line press the effect button. This brings up the effects that are running. Change the rate the update the cue. You can have multiple effects running on a fixture but only one in each category. So you can do an intensity effect and a colour effect but not 2 colour effects. Hope this helps a bit. Effects take a little time to get right but experiment with them and you will find something that works. Remember you can create your own effects by copying the stock effects and modifying them.
