​CHOREOGRAPHY DESIGN SYSTEM - MOVERS & CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

​Use the optional configuration parameters below by adding an "@" command line to your MOVER notecard.  
These parameters are entered in your notecard one command per line above the #BEGIN NOTECARD line. See NOTECARDS for entering route data.

@height_offset <number>
Using this parameter removes the need for dancers to remember to "page up" or "page down" when sitting on a mover to adjust to the proper height. Add this parameter to your notecards in the proper amount for each of your dancers. You must supply the integer, either positive for "page up" or negative for "page down."
​
  • Each "Page Up" = 1
  • Each "Page Down" = -1
​
TIP: Set this during rehearsal and while your dancers are in costume!
Example line in Mover notecard:

​​@height_offset 2

@invisible
Used mainly for props, the @invisible parameter in a Mover's notecard will render that Mover 100% transparent until you remove the command from the notecard.  ​
Example line in Mover notecard:

​​@invisible

@silent_mode
​Only owners can see the routine progress chat from the movers however you can turn that off. When this option is enabled, all output from the Mover is suppressed except for the line that shows which notecard was loaded.  Critical errors will still be sent but routine progress chat is disabled.
Example line in Mover notecard:

​@silent_mode

@spot_dancer <number>
​ONLY for use with the Performance Director HUD.
​
Parameter to be added to Mover notecard to enable the Mover to function with the Spot On Performance Timer HUD auto invite and group assignment. This parameter is only of use to people using the Spot On Performance Director HUD. <number> is the number of the dancer/mover that is included in the Director HUD group definition. If the @text is used in the Mover notecard  then the @spot_dancer number is also added to the text.
Example line in Mover notecard:

​@spot_dancer 2

This means that this mover will respond to all commands for groups in Performance Director which include Dancer 2.

Example line in Performance Director showing dancers 2, 3 and 4 in a group called "backup":
@group backup|2,3,4

@text <your text>
This parameter will make <your text> appear above the Mover. The text will hide when a dancer sits on the Mover. It is intended to allow you to name a Mover easily so that you can direct your dancers to their assigned Movers. It is suggested you keep names short and simple. When this parameter is active and the @spot_dancer parameter is active, the @spot_dancer number will be added to <your text>.
Example line in Mover Notecard:  

@text Nancy

When used with @spot_dancer for Performance Director, the dancer number will also appear in hovertext above the mover: 2:Nancy

@user_channel <number>
​Assigns a chat channel to the mover allowing the mover to be controlled via chat command or by assigning a channel to the Choreography System HUD that comes with the system. Just add a channel to the notecard inside the hud and reset it (or take it off and wear it again).  Commands that may be issued via a HUD or typed in chat are: 
  • play 
  • pause
  • reset
​The command pause will cause the mover to pause at the next Waypoint it reaches.  The command reset causes the mover to move back to the Designer Ring.

Note: Channel 0 is public chat and cannot be used.
Example line in Mover Notecard:
@user_channel 15

Example Chat Command:
/15pause

Example Timeline entry in Performance Director:
89|SAY:15:pause
