Not sure. But I took colors that I had and copied them to a place that they were in order say from 4.21 thru 4.33 for example. Then ran plugin when it came time to pick the colors choose the ones that I put in the order I wanted.

OMG. This is perfect! Very well done. The fact that I can set the colors I want as well is awesome.

Looks awesome I have wanted to create one that I could choose the colors I want in the choices.

CmdIndirectWait('Set Selection MAtricks "XWings" 2')

Thank you Andreas. I was finally able to get back to this little plugin I was wanting to make. And your solution is the one that got me wings of 2 on the X axis. If anyone wants it here it is. I originally got this idea from Thomas Kopper. I call it the Sym Tester.

local function main()

    CmdIndirectWait('Highlight On')
    CmdIndirectWait('Set Selection MAtricks "XWings" 2')
    
    local selectedFix = SelectionCount()
    SetVar(UserVars(),'SelectedFixtureCount', selectedFix)
    
    for i = 1, selectedFix do
        CmdIndirectWait('Next')
        coroutine.yield(0.5)
    end   
    
    CmdIndirectWait('Reset Selection MAtricks')
    CmdIndirectWait('Highlight Off')
    end
    
return main

Thanks, I will give that a try. I am fairly new to LUA and the LUA books don't exactly have instructions on MAs syntax.

My bad I thought this was the Plugin section of the forums. Wait a minute it is. Why am I getting a command line answer when I asked for the syntax in LUA fashion from the beginning. Thanks for the goose chase. Now can anyone point me as to the correct LUA way to write CmdIndirectWait('MAtricks "X/ w2"') so that when I click on the plugin i get X Wings of 2?

Set Selection MAtricks "XWings" 2

So I was going slow. Just only have a few lines, the 2nd line to turn highlight on works. Soon as i put in Set Selection line in I get a syntax error.

local function main()
    CmdIndirectWait('Highlight On')
    Set Selection MAtricks "XWings" 2
    
    end
    
return main

Any pointers. Just looking to take the selection I have chosen and put it in 2 Xwings. Before I move on.

Thanks

Thank you.

Great to know thank you.

So in your while loop? Say you have 8 faders 10 buttons you basically have functions that are constantly being run looking for a different value on that specific fader or buttons variable then it knows that one moved then changes variable and sends value to the MA? sounds like a very long plugin.

I once was able to trigger the encoder on MA2. But this one works for the buttons.

CmdIndirectWait('Freeze On')

i am trying to trigger wings of 2 on the x axis and running into a wall

CmdIndirectWait('MAtricks "X/ w2"')

i try many variations XWings2, wings2, etc etc

i keep getting illigal Object

does anyone know the correct syntax?

So I: Setu Repeat 1 in cues command line and next cue: Getu Repeat in the cues command line and I get: "Repeat": Type - Integer, Value - 1 in the system monitor. What i am trying to do is create a Goto cue 15. But not figuring out how to get the if syntax

if Repeat = 1 then Setu Repeat 0; Goto 15

so that it basically repeats a loop once and then the next time it passes by this cmd line Repeat isn't 1 anymore so it just carry's along to the next cue. Is that possible?

I was just wondering if when anyone else uses MA3 that it disconnects your Bluetooth Speaker. I try to reconnect it but it just goes back to my internal speakers. Soon as I shut MA3 down I can connect back to the speaker.

yes

Here you go SS.

yes. no matter how fast or slow i click the second time.

But i do see it saying something about waiting for second click

copy. I found that edit while playing around. did what you said. First run said LUA at the beginning and some numbers after. putting up a portion of screen shot.

Might have to describe to me how. I took your 4 lines and saved an .xml file called time. Put it in the plugins folder. open up plugin pool. right clicked inported time. tried to run it and the command line and sytem info just says "call plugin 2". Is there something else that i am supposed to do? New to MA3 style of plugins versus copy and paste it in like MA 2.

i have a Mac M1 and it crashes second time I press the macro.
