Intensity Effect Problem

Programming a theatre show. I have an intensity effect for 16 dimmer fixtures that is recorded on a CueList 8. CueList 8 is not on any of the masters. In the main cuelist for the show, I am triggering the effect with macro command and releasing it on the next cue with a macro. When I first fire up the system and we run the show, the effect does not trigger. If I go to the cuelist itself and select it, it will run. After I do this and go back and run the show, it seems to work.

I went into cuelist options for list 8 and set it to reset on release, but that did not help either.

My concern is that the board operator that will be running the show and pushing "go" won't know how to check this before the show to make sure it works and I think I might still have something set incorrectly. I was thinking that I could set the cuelist to htp. Not sure if this is what is needed and will test tonight before the show, but wanted to get some other ideas to check for from anyone.

Thanks,
Ross

    Make sure you're using the proper comment macro! That should be GL8 and not GM8.
    I wouldn't set my effect cue list as HTP. If you did, your intensity effect wouldn't run at all. There has been a long debate here in the forum about the way the hog III handles the HTP lists and as far as I know, it hasn't been sorted out yet! you should be able to trigger your list via comment macro whatsoever. If you can't then try to move your cuelist to en empty cell and change your comment macro accordingly and see if it makes any difference. Or move it to a master and use the GM comment macro instead.
