Plugin "MULE creator"

mule (noun) /myül/ - a macro under lua enchantment

Please scroll down this thread to find the latest version of the MULE creator plugin.

it is a tool that enables you to create more advanced macros, by using the Lua engine to interpret and playback the content of your macro.

the plugin upload in initial post contains a typo that prevents the menu-choice "Enchant existing macro" to work

to not only create new mules, but also enchant existing macros, please change line 169 of plugin version 1.0.0.0 from

Printf('MULE: enchanting '..macro.ToAddr())

to

Printf('MULE: enchanting '..macro:ToAddr())

or download this updated plugin version 1.0.0.1:

tips:

as macroline-names cannot contain the character tilde (~) which is normally used for unequal (~=), you can instead use the logical operator not in conjunction with equal (==), e.g.

[a == b] do something

[not a == b] do something else

1.you need to put the conditions in the namefields of the macroline not in the commandfields.

2. do not use dollar sign when referencing user or global commandline variables inside square or curly brackets. the dollar sign is just to be used when recalling in regular commandline

the internal logic in mule is like this:

varname -> does the uservar varname exist then use that , else does the globalvar varname exist then use that, else does lua-expression varname exist then use that

your line 8 and 9 should look something like this

8: macrolinename : [counter < amount] macrolinecommand : {goto loopstart}

9: macrolinename : macrolinecommand : ClearAll

there should be no need for condition in line 9 as your condition in line 8 jumps bac, thus you will never get to line 9 unless that condition in line 8 is false

Quote from zangetsu

if output at 0 sequence 1 works, if output at 0 sequence 7(or whatever) does not work, if output at 0 if sequnece 1 does not

If I assume correctly what you want neither of these will works

maybe rather work on one sequence at a time ( the selected ) and use i.e

IfOutput At 0

If IfOutput Cue thru

- select the fixtures that has output of 0%

- but only the ones that has output from any cue (of the selected sequence)

Macro "Clean Cue"

works for me to embed macro in mule. are you sure that you quoted the name, had proper spelling, and din't include any action like Go+, Call or On etc.

don't know why it only works for you with macro number and not macro name.

maybe you could post the actual macros as exported xml-files.

your macro 1 has the name "clean cue ", while you try to call it via the name "clean cue"

-notice the trailing space in actual the name.

clean cue[whitespace].xml
