CMY flag chase

Hi folks,

Might be a silly question but here goes:

Got a techno show coming up, for which I'm trying to write a chase that will flag one fixture at a time into white, then on the next step release it back to whatever colour it was previously.

In other words:

Before the chase starts, all fixtures are in red.

Step 1: Fixture 1 flags to white, all other fixtures stay red
Step 2: Fixture 1 returns to red, Fixture 2 flags to white, all other fixtures stay red
Step 2: Fixture 2 returns to red, Fixture 3 flags to white, all other fixtures stay red

...and so on.

This is easy enough to do if I only ever need the base to be one colour, but I haven't been able to get my head around how to have it snap to white and then 'release' the white on the next step of the cue.

Is there something simple I've overlooked?

Thanks, and happy new year!

    Hmmm....

    Honestly I see this being easiest as a separate cue list in a chase. Write a cue for each fixture to turn to white (in its own separate cue) and then in the rest of the cues make sure that there is no information for that individual light. then set the cue list to chase and give it a high priority.

    What this should do is tell the the CMY flags to go to 0 over whatever info its getting, and then drop any color info back to whatever the last color was.
