How to get properties of an exec ?

BECOME PART OF THE COMMUNITY - Sign up here

    Hi


    I'm trying to get the function of buttons of an executor.

    Properties are Key and Fader

    How can i get their values with lua code ?

    I can handle the exec and get its name with GetExecutor() and GetExecutor().name

    How can i get properties ?

    i've tried PropertyName and PropertyCount, but it gives me nil values.


    Thank you

    Thank you Andreas


    That's so obvious :) I haven't given this a second thought !


    But so, how and why use PropertyName(handle, index) and PropertyCount(handle) ?

    I did :

    ex = GetExecutor(205)

    count = PropertyCount(ex)

    Pname = PropertyName(ex,1)


    but this doesn't work. Plugin stops because of calling nill values.


    Thanks Andreas, you're always the best :)

    in the global context e.g. PropertyCount doesn't exist

    notice the "(Object API)" classification in the Lua editor API description

    Code: alternative 1
    return function()
  local ex = GetExecutor(206)
  local count = Obj.PropertyCount(ex)
  for i = 0, count-1 do
    local Pname = Obj.PropertyName(ex, i)
    Echo(Pname)
  end
end
    Code: alternative 2
    return function()
  local ex = GetExecutor(206)
  local count = ex:PropertyCount()
  for i = 0, count-1 do
    local Pname = ex:PropertyName(i)
    Echo(Pname)
  end
end

    RE: Set Value in Object direcly from lua without the CMD
    Lua has many ways to achieve the same:
    below are 4 ways to set the command text of the first macroline of macro 1 of the current datapool :

    local Macropool = DataPool().Macros
    local myMacro = Macropool[1]
    local myMacroline = myMacro[1]

    --Alternative 1, calling the Set function from the global Obj table :
    Obj.Set(myMacroline, 'Command', 'Fixture Thru')
    --Alternative 2, calling the same Set function via the actual object :
    myMacroline.Set(myMacroline, 'Command', 'Fixture Thru')
    --Alternative 3, calling…
