[In 11.9.1] Cue action on pause/resume

[drakkather]

Hello!
I have a question. Is there a way to have a cue that executes an action when the program is paused or when the program is resumed? For example, turn the lights on when I hit the pause button and turn them off when I hit the resume button. And I can think of more examples in case of an incident in a live performance where you have to pause for some problem, such as muting the microphones.
I've searched how to do it and I can't find anything, to see if you can help me.
Thanks!

Not automatically. I suggest you create hotkeys as required. For example, for lighting I always create a hotkeys for blackout (key B), workers (W), and full stage (F).

[drakkather]

Ok. Thank you, is a great idea.
The problem I had is that I activate the pause from a wireless remote presenter, but I can create a hotkey (linked to the remote) to an SFR cue that pauses the show and then a cue that turns on or off the lights.

It's not posible to do it through the wireless remote because It uses "Page up" and "Page down", and these buttons are not in the hotkey list, only on shortcuts list. Is there no other way?

[Mike Daniell]

"Page up" and "Page down" cannot be assigned as hotkeys as these keyboard functions are used for paging up and down the cue list.

Can you use the SCS Remote App? This supports hotkeys like "A", "B", "C", etc. See scsRemote.

No, I can´t. I'm performing on stage and I have the wireless remote in my pocket, I have to know by touch which button I'm pressing.
Wouldn't it be a good idea then, a cue whose activation (how the cue is started) depended on whether the show is paused or resumed?

[Mike Daniell]

I've emailed you details of a new version that supports "Page Up" and "Page Down" as hotkeys. If no cue is assigned to these hotkeys then the action is as normal, ie SCS will page up or page down the cue list.

[Mike Daniell]

"Page Up" and "Page Down" are now available as hotkeys in 11.9.1. If you use either of these hotkeys, then the normal corresponding action of paging up or down the cue list is overridden.
