Playing Macros in Q's

I have been trying to play 3 ques with macro's attatched to them.

 

q1000 M1 Qtime 0 follow 6

q1001 M 2 Qtime 0 follow 20:00

Q1002 M3 Qtime 0

They are 3 macros 1, GoToQ OUT 2, SUB 1 OUT SUB 2 OUT (FOH and Stage scroller power) 3, SUB 3 OUT (Mover and WDMX power)

basically switching off the movers 20 mins after i have left and ran q 1000.

This however is not working and takes me straight to que 0, i tried it in a lower que, 100 for example and the cue numbers became white bold writing like the rest of the ques, but still hasnt worked. Have i missed something here? as i cant seem to find a way to make these ques work?

 

Cheers BEcky

  • Hi Becky,

    Never sure what a programmer is after in their particular situation, so I am not certain if you NEED the Macros need to run in a Q.  I believe The GTC Out command obviates the follow 6 into Q1001 as Macro 1 took you from Q1000 to Q0 intrerrupting the follow.  If it would work to be in Q0 rather than Q1002 at the end of this deal, then try something like this.

    Macro 1 - GTC Out

    Go_To_Cue Out Time 0 [Enter]

    MacroButton 2 [Enter]

    Macro 2  - FOH + SCROLLERS OUT

    Macro_Wait 6 [Enter]

    Sub 1 Thru 2 Out [Enter]

    MacroButton 3 [Enter]

    Macro 3 - MOVERS OUT

    Macro_Wait 1 2 0 0 [Enter]

    Sub 3 Out [Enter]

    Hope that helps

    Or you could do without the Go to Cue Out macro, make cue 1000 a Blackout, aswell as Asserting the cue and putting the All fade attribute on it.

    Then to activate the sequence

    [Cue] 1 [/] 1000 [Enter] [Load] [Go]
