Automatic Fade Script Modifying

Scripting with Gig Performer
1

Hello, I use this Auto Move script very often :


var
    movStart("Start moving") : Parameter "STOP", "GO" = "STOP"
    speed ("Speed of movement") : Parameter 1..30 = 15
    
    position ("Widget Control") : Parameter 0..127 = 0
    incstep : integer
   
Initialization
    SetInfoMessage("This scriptlet offers a parameter 'Widget Control' which can be mapped to a widget to automatically turn it up and down within a certain time")
    SetDisplayMessage("Click the 'info' button for more instructions")
    SetTimersRunning(false)
End

On TimerTick(ms : double)
    position = position + incstep
    if position >= 127 or position <=0
        then SetTimersRunning(false)
    end 
End

// Called when a parameter value has changed
On ParameterValueChanged matching movStart
    If movStart == "GO" Then
        incstep=1*speed
        SetTimersRunning(true)
    Elsif movStart == "STOP" Then
        incstep =  (-1)*speed
        SetTimersRunning(true)
    End
End

but I would like to be able to extend the fade time (double or triple or even more…). I searched but I don’t find the solution because the incstep needs to be integer, does anybody have an idea? :pray::heart:

In this example, I increased the position parameter to 500, and adjusted the condition in the TimerTick callback accordingly. You’ll find that if you slow the speed of movement down to 1, it takes considerably longer for the position parameter to go from start to finish (and vice versa) than in your original script, which should give you a nice long fade.

var
    movStart("Start moving") : Parameter "STOP", "GO" = "STOP"
    speed ("Speed of movement") : Parameter 1..30 = 15    
    position ("Widget Control") : Parameter 0..500 = 500
    incstep : integer
   
Initialization
    SetInfoMessage("This scriptlet offers a parameter 'Widget Control' which can be mapped to a widget to automatically turn it up and down within a certain time")
    SetDisplayMessage("Click the 'info' button for more instructions")
    SetTimersRunning(false)
End

On TimerTick(ms : double)
    position = position + incstep
    if position >= 500 or position <=0
        then SetTimersRunning(false)
    end 
End

// Called when a parameter value has changed
On ParameterValueChanged matching movStart
    If movStart == "GO" then
        incstep =  (-1)*speed
        SetTimersRunning(true)
    Elsif movStart == "STOP" Then
        incstep=1*speed
        SetTimersRunning(true)
    End
End
