COMMANDS
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
Chat Command
Send a command via local chat to show or hide. This feature is great for testing purposes. The default channel is 89. |
/89show
or /89hide |
|
Performance Director - Timeline Command
time | region say : channel : command This example shows the command to "show" at 12 seconds into the Timeline and the command to "hide" at 35 seconds into the Timeline. (Note: Using "Region Say" sends the command on the entire region meaning you'll never be too far away from it.) |
12|RS:89:show
35|RS:89:hide |
|
Performance Director - Hotkey Buttons
@button<n>= Region Say : channel : command If you would rather manually control the Glow Fader, configure a Hotkey button. Also good for testing purposes. |
@button1=RS:89:show
@button2=RS:89:hide |
Please see Performance Director Commands and Hotkey Buttons for more details and complete instructions.

CONFIGURING YOUR FEATURES
|
EXAMPLES

A line of text in the notecard that begins with a # sign will not be read by the script. Therefore to disable a feature, add a # sign in front of the feature line. |

Glow effect disabled: #@gloweffect |
|
@fadein <n>
Enter a number of seconds from 0.25 to 10.0 (default is 2.0). Set how fast or slow you would like the object to fade into view. This will also affect the amount of time for the glow effect, if enabled. |
@fadein 1.0
|
|
@fadeout <n>
Enter the number of seconds from 0.25 to 10.0 (default is 2.0) Set how fast or slow you would like the object to fade out of view. |

@transparency <n>
Enable or Disable. Default is Disabled. Delete the # sign to enable and enter a number for the amount of transparency you would like on your object. If enabled, enter a number from 0 to 100, 0 being NO transparency and 100 being fully transparent. |
