Tópico: Button Showing Number Of Beats To Next Cue

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

I'm trying to modify a skin and change what is displayed on Hot Cue 1 button. I've got the basics sorted but I want it to show a beat countdown to Hot Cue 2, which I got working but it continues to count after Hot Cue 2 has passed. I'd rather it stop or remove counter. I've tried this:

<text size="15" format="`%Btocue2 > 0 ? 1\n%Btocue2 : 1`"/>

In theory that should work if you can query %Btocue2. All I get is a blank button. Any ideas and thanks in advance....

Actually, I'm having a mare.... Trying to modify the appearance of the Hot Cue button (show beats to next cue) depending on whether the next Hot Cue Position has been reached. I know it's the query that isn't working:

<button class="sidebutton" x="+6" y="+37" action="hot_cue 1" rightclick="holding 2000ms ? delete_cue 1 : goto_cue 1"><text size="15" action="var_greater '%Btocue2' 0 ? get_text '1' : get_text '1\n%Btocue2'"/></button>

Can any body save my sanity?
 
Try something like this:

<button class="sidebutton" x="+6" y="+37" action="hot_cue 1" rightclick="holding 2000ms ? delete_cue 1 : goto_cue 1">
...
</button>

<textzone visibility="get_text '%PBfromcue1' & param_cast 'integer' & param_bigger 0 ? true : false">
....
<text size="15" format="'%Btcue2'"/>
</textzone>

So the text zone will only show up if %Pfromcue1 >0

Hope this helps ;o)
 
Thanks for the advice.... Just to make 100% sure I understand the syntax.... The button element is closed before the textzone element is created and therefore the whole line would look like this:

<button class="sidebutton" x="+6" y="+37" action="hot_cue 1" rightclick="holding 2000ms ? delete_cue 1 : goto_cue 1"></button><textzone visibility="get_text '%PBfromcue1' & param_cast 'integer' & param_bigger 0 ? true : false"><text size="15" format="'%Btcue2'"/></textzone>
 
I prefer two elements. If you will place it in one element:
<button class="sidebutton" action="hot_cue 1" rightclick="holding 2000ms ? delete_cue 1 : goto_cue 1">
<pos x="+6" y="+37" />
<text visibility="get_text '%PBfromcue1' & param_cast 'integer' & param_bigger 0 ? true : false" size="15" format="'%Btcue2'"/>
</button>

should work.

Thanks...

Must have read the wiki like 20 times and slowly starting to get to grips with it :-)
 
What skin do you want to modify?
 
I'm playing around with V8 by Fruit... It has almost everything I want, but just want to tweak a couple of things.
 
One thing I'm struggling to get my head around is that if the <textzone> element is not contained withing the button element, how does VDJ knows which button to print the text on? Is it just the last defined element?
 
So I tried this today and it didn't work. I just got the normal display all of the time i.e. beat counter. ??

It doesn't.
A textzone prints a text where you tell it to print by it's <pos /> coordintes.
You can print on top of ANY element you may think off since Version 8 just layers the graphics one above each other.
In other words a <textzone /> doesn't need to be contained in anything.
 
Ah, what I thought. Thanks for the info.
