I'm trying to add a script on the Keyboard Mapping to be able to trigger a Scene Director so I can "activate" that Scene Director with a keyboard shortcut.

Is there a simple script that will trigger a Scene Director in my Message?

Thank you!

Hey Paulo- 

In the "Keyboard/GPI Mapping" area, you should be able to drag a "Script Action" into the Project Shortcuts.  Then, you'll edit the script action (Sub OnKeyPress) to do something like this...

Option 1, if you always want to play a scene director from a particular scene:

dim Scene as xpScene

dim sd as xpSceneDirector

Engine.GetSceneByName("ExampleScene", Scene, false)

Scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("ExampleSceneDirector", sd)

sd.play

Option 2, if you want to play a particular scene director for whatever scene is on framebuffer 1, layer 1:

dim output as xpOutputFrameBuffer

dim onlineScene as xpScene

dim sd as xpSceneDirector

engine.Getoutputframebuffer(0, output)

output.GetSceneonlayer(1, onlineScene)

onlineScene.GetSceneDirectorByName("ExampleSceneDirector", sd)

sd.Play

Once you get a script working, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to this GPI/Script Action.  Let me know if you have issues!

Thanks a lot Bo!

I was able to get the second script right, the one that plays anything that is on the Frame Buffer. It was very useful on the show.

But I couldn't get the first one to work, I've tried a few different variations and nothing.

Any idea of what could have happened? Did you get the same script to work on your machine?

Hey,

I think the problem with the first one is that you need to put the scene on-air as well. Try this. 

Dim Scene as xpScene
dim sd as xpSceneDirector

Engine.GetSceneByName("YOUR SCENE NAME", Scene,False)

Scene.SetOnline(1,0,0)

Scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("SceneDirector1", sd)

sd.play()
