SFR cue to stop a Control Cue (in 10.4.0)
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 6:44 am
A proposal to consider
With SCS's addition of RS232 control cues (thanks Mike) we can use SCS to control actual devices on our stage, telephones, buzzers etc. When programming a repetitive event e.g. telephone ringing, I found the most successful method was to use several subcues, each with an incremental relative start time.
The problem I now have is stopping these subcues on demand! (Mike gives us one tool then I ask for another!) One way would seem to be the ability to STOP the subcues from continuing from a SFR cue. I would then add a subcue to this SFR with the desired "reset" control cue. Currently control cues are not listed in the "Cue to be actioned" drop down, however using esc "stop all" does halt the control cues mid flow, so to speak.
Hope this all makes sense.
