You need to set the ContextAttribute right.

I have read out a recorded macro once and use

which works just fine.

1=Intensity, 2=Position, 4=Colour, 8=Gobo, 16=Beam, 32=Effect, 64=Special, 128=Shapes

One advantage of using the keyframe method is guaranteeing single whole pixels * although sadly if you're running 11.3 I've just been told that this may not work due to a known bug in this version... A bug that makes key frame shapes ignore a randomised fixture order by any chance? Even storing a r...

That wouldn't be a circle though Depends on the Tilt values but yes it will more likely result in an ellipsoidal form. Doesn't bother me though as I have it spinning round my proscenium arch. so you couldn't apply it around an existing position yes and no. If you set the values to the absolute maxi...

Really? Somehow this didn't work for me when I tried something else. Setting the spread to the number of fixtures (I didn't use fixtures with cells) and direction to random gave me an ugly looking effect...

or use key frame shapes, make 2 palettes for pan only (left and right, no tilt values in the palette) and then just apply the palettes to the fixtures whichever way you want it (left half of rig start at left, right half of rig start at right etc)

this is what the macro looks like

However I am not sure how Math.GetCurrentTimeStamp needs to be formatted in the API string

there is an option called Cross Fade HTP in playback options which turns intensity into LTP values.

I think it has to be enabled for every playback involved.

T and B mean Track and Block and tell whether a shape from a previous cue is tracked into the next cue(s) or not. So basically in your case you should record your 3 cues (without block cues inbetween) and simply set the switch to B(lock) which prevents your Pan shape tracking into your Tilt shape etc

this is nothing that should be voted on. This is something that should just be implemented and not be talked about ever again. Also an option to import items at their original position would be veeeeeeery helpful. Just as a reference: on a Hog a showfile and its underlying database gets a bit clutte...

Not possible

well, if you set up the sACN trigger right, it's not as cumbersome as you might think.
An inverted dimmer channel triggering a block shape would basically turn a size master into a fixture that can be programmed into any cue you like

is it possible to run Masters.SetMaster so it will change the value over a specified time? Think of a size master that you want to pull down over 2sec

There was a bug where regular shapes would not update properly on an edited group layout. Not sure if it is fixed yet but that's why I only recommended key frame shapes. Also I programmed my last show completely without regular shapes and I think it's time to finish the key frame feature and let go ...
