  • 1.  Triggering XP Scene Directors via Dashboard

    Posted 04-27-2018 09:04
    On dashboard, can you create buttons that will play different scene directors within a scene? Or is it better to do separate scenes for them? Thanks, I hope someone can help?

    Not directly, but you can add a GPI within Xpression to play the scene director, and then trigger that GPI within DashBoard.

    There is now a functions list in the Keyboard/GPI mapping section, and Scene Director trigger is not in that list. How do I add a function that's not in the list? I couldn't find anything obvious. I was also looking for a clock stop/start/reset function and that's not in the list either.

    You can write a script to do just about anything you need.

    To play a scene director, you might use something like this:

    dim scene as xpScene
    dim director as xpSceneDirector
    engine.sequencer.getSceneByID(123, scene)
    scene.getSceneDirectorByName("my scene director", director)
    director.play

    To start a clock widget, maybe something like this:

    dim clock as xpClockTimerWidget
    engine.getWidgetByName("my widget", clock)
    clock.start

    Take a look at the Xpression SDK documentation inside the Help folder for all the fun things you can do.
