How do I send RossTalk commands from inside an XPression Scene to another XPression machine? The API doesn't list any methods for this.

Configure your Outgoing GPI in the RossTalk setup (see image).

Then in your scene you could use a script like this:

dim gpi as xpGPIBoard
engine.GetGPIBoard(0, gpi)
gpi.SendMessage("GPI 5")


That would send a RossTalk message of "GPI 5" to IP address 10.62.141.3 on port 7788.


In the SDK you want to look at Engine.GetGPIBoard and xpGPIBoard and GPIBoard.SendMessage.

#XPression

You can also create Rosstalk messages directly in the keyboard mapping menu, so if you want keyboard hotkeys that send rosstalk messages to another XPression you can do that as well.
#XPression

Well I need a RossTalk command to fire when the SceneDirector hits the script event on the track so unfortunately keyboard mapping won't help. What @garner said might help though, provided I can send the take RossTalk commands over GPI, I'll have to give it a shot.
#XPression

You can just put the same script I posted on a scene director script event.
What do you mean by "send the RossTalk command over GPI"?
RossTalk commands are sent over TCP or Serial. You can send a GPI command as RossTalk command.
