Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi all,I'm setting up my haloween show and want to have a startup sequencerun befor the show to fill up the inflatables before the animation sequence starts.I add the sequence to the startup tab and then put the main sequence inthe animation tab.I then add the show to the schedule. When the show starts, it goesdirectly to the main sequence, skipping the startup sequence.What did I miss ?I wasn't going to animate Haloween, but I just had to get some actual showexperience before Christmas and I couldn't resist..:] This Stuff is just toocool for School! See Snoopy in my avatar... He's part of the Haloween Show.His dog house returnes for Christmas with a few modifications !.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I don't see anything wrong with what you say you did. What type of sequence did you put in the startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 a simple animation sequence with 1 channel and 1 event to turn onthe fan and i did remember to set the channel settings :]oh ya.. it's one minute long .It seems to be having problems with musical sequences too.If I put 1 musical sequence in startup, and the other in the main music section,I get the Music from the startup sequence, but the lights are actuallyflashing to the main sequence. Really bizzar.Software version is 5A13Boards are CTB-16D kits version 3.0Not sure how to check the FW revision...I also loaded the software on my laptop (which has never had LOR on it)and tried the same thing. Got the exact same results.:shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I believe the startup sequence will just run once and then stop. If you are using it to inflate a figure and want it to stay inflated , it will have to be a background sequence.If you want to have time for it to inflate, build a 30 second or so blank animation sequence and put it first in the show to give time for it to inflate before your animated show starts.Also , a startup sequence must be an animation sequence or you get unexpected results (as you have seen)Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Oh BTW, I love the Snoopy!!! Can you post a bigger pic? Is it plywood and 3D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well this is an odd one. Do me a favor and if you can zip up the sequence files and audio files you using and email them to dan@lightorama.com I will take a look. Also include the show file which should be in the lightorama folder. Please have the show file setup for the example where you had a musical sequence in the startup and a musical sequence in the musical section.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 My goal is to have the four songs that I have play on the hour and on the half hour and the rest of the time would be animated. How do I do that. I thought I knew until Halloween came and went. The musical sequence played followed by a 1 minute animated sequence and another musical sequence. Drove my wife batty, (It's compromise time). The musical sequence should last approximately 14 minutes.Any and all advice is always appreciated.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then add an animation sequence that is long enough to go a half hour including the musicThen you need to schedule the show to run 30 minutes every half hour.......If you do not need it to start exaclty on the hour/half hour then just put an animation sequence at the bottom of the Music Section. Make the Animation Sequence long enough to be the filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
