Goto Hidden List/Cue (Off Playback Bar)

Need some help here..

I am trying to run a cue from a cuelist, without the cuelist existing on any playback bars (only in the list directory) and I want to do this with command line only.

The following syntax will do this if the list resides on a playback master..
"Goto-3/1-enter" But I don't want to put the list on a master.

I have tried the following syntax with no luck...

"Goto-List-3/1-enter" This does not work as I get a red syntax line as soon as I hit "List".

"Goto-Cue-3/1-enter"... This doesn't work either..

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

GOTO has always applied only to the "Chosen" Master.

So since "List xxxx Enter" syntax already works, it should probably be "List xxxx/xxx Enter" or "List xxxx Cue xxxx Enter" omitting the Goto.....makes it faster as well.

[QUOTE=Firewood1;68058]I also don't understand why Goto List 3/1 isn't valid syntax. It seems pretty logical that this should work.

V1.2.0 perhaps?
This syntax cannot work and will never do simply because is incoherent and inconsistent to the hog4 syntax altogether.
If you think about it you're starting your syntax by typing a COMMAND.
We all know the Hog syntax is based on the Object command masking destination philosophy rather than the Command object masking destination one.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't understand your point at all.

The syntax already exists for going to a cue sitting on a master. So to say it cannot work and will never work? It already does! :-)

Having too many syntax commands to do the same think will confuse me.. ;)

So the Goto command will take you anywhere within the playback masters on a page, even if your in a different master, you can still goto a cue in another master thats on the same page. That works...

I'm in agreement with Marty... Since "Scene 3 enter" will fire scene 3 and "List 3 Enter" will fire the next cue in list 3, it makes perfect sense that if HES adds the functionality to fire a specific cue outa the list directory, it should be, "List 3/3 enter".

since the goto command specifically refers only to the chosen master and since you stated that it seemed pretty logical that the goto list X/Y would work I was reminding that it cannot be implemented this way for you're starting the whole syntax with a command rather than an object. Hope I've been clearer now

Yes, I see what you mean now. :-)

I guess what I said is logical as it rolls off the tongue, but when you actually think about what the Goto means, then you're right.

List #/# Enter seems great to me.
