description: | macro to turn an attribute group off resp. on in a palette |
remarks: | Idea/request by PascalvE |
This macro assumes that group 999 and palette 999 exist. Group 999 is used as temporary store for the selected fixtures. The macro turns colour values in palette 999 off resp. on.
There is a follow-up thread in the forum explaining how this can be done entirely with coded functions: http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5936
This has been reproduced in this wiki here: Off/On Attribute (snippets)

Explanation
This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax
This macro assumes that group 999 and palette 999 exist. Group 999 is used as temporary store for the selected fixtures. The macro turns colour values in palette 999 off resp. on.
Group.ReplaceGroupOnHandle
puts the currently selected fixtures into a group as temporary store- then, blind mode is entered - see Blind Mode On/Off
Group.RecallGroup
recalls the previously selected fixtures from the temp. store- the next commands are taken from a recorded macro:
Menu.Stack.PushOrReloadMenu
makes sure we are in the root menuMenu.InjectInput
are the recorded key presses:[C]
(colour)<Off>
(in the second macro <Off> is pressed twice which makes it toggle to On)[Attribute Off]
Palette.QuickMergePalette
merges the off/on value into the paletteProgrammer.Editor.Clear
clears the programmre- finally the blind mode is being exited from
How to use it
- make sure group 999 and palette 999 exist and suit your needs or adapt the macro
- fire the macro to turn colour off resp. on in this palette
