<!-- Ricster's reply: -->
<step>ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", Math.Cast.ToSingle(1))</step>
 
<!--
     Might also work. 
     Or even 
-->
 
<step>ActionScript.SetProperty.Float("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", 1)</step>
 
<!-- And as of 10.1 I think you can do -->
 
<step>ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", float:1)</step>

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

• ActionScript.SetProperty(“Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback”, Chases.ConnectedHandle) makes the currently connected handle active in the editor
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Float(“Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap”, 0.5) sets the property “Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap” to 0.5 which is 50%

Another example was published by kimwida: http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5579 where the chasers are referred by their usernumber and a legend is set to reflect the current overlap value:

  <step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback", handle:"chaseHandleUN=19159")</step>
  <step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", 0.2)</step>
  <step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback", handle:"chaseHandleUN=19160")</step>
  <step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", 0.2)</step>
  <step pause="0.01">Handles.SetSourceHandleFromHandle("chaseHandleUN=1293")</step>
  <step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty("Handles.PendingLegend", "Overlap 20%")</step>
  <step pause="0.01">Handles.SetLegend()</step>
  <step pause="0.01">Handles.ClearSelection()</step>

1. make this macro available
2. once a chase is active and connected, fire this macro to set the chaser to 50% crossfade
