Level changes on hot keys

Post by Paul Barnett » Tue Jun 01, 2010 7:05 am

Hi Guys , just invested ( and it's a worthwhile investment ) in SCS and have a question on hot keys.
I have created a hot key which runs an emergency services siren , I then have 3 level change follow
on cues which pan left and then right and then return to the centre.

My question is after the cue has run once the follow ons read as completed but I need to run the
hot key again , how do I auto reset the follow ons ????

Sorry if this is basic but I've had browse and can't find the answer.

Cheers
Paul

:D :D :D

Paul,

Could you email me your cue file (the .scs file)?

Thanks for the cue file, Paul. You can include your level changes with your hotkey cue by making the level change cues subcues of the hotkey cue.

Here is an SCS 'print' of the cues in your test file as you currently have them:

Before

In the Editor, starting with Q4, click Image to make Q4 a subcue of Q3, then do the same to make Q3 a subcue of Q2, and then do the same to make Q2 a subcue of Q1. Change the Relative Start Times of the subcues to delay the level changes as required. The result will look like this:

After

Now when you press S your siren will play and the level changes will take place as required, and because the level changes are included in the hotkey cue, they will occur every time you use the hotkey.
