How can I call a scriptlet script from a rackspace script when in the rackspace script a condition is getting true?
That is impossible
And how do I realize it?
You know how a scriptlet is working?
In the scriptlet you react on events like incoming midi events or parameter changes.
So you could set a widget value in the rackspace script.
The widget is linked to a scriptlet parameter and then the parameter callback in the scriptlet is executed.
As @pianopaul says: you can use a parameter from a scriptlet to trigger your scriptlet to do something. You can do that using a widget, but also direct by assigning a handle to the scriptlet and using SetParameter(plugin, param, value) where plugin is the handle of the scriptlet.
But this is asynchronous! The scriptlet will be executed, but almost certain not before the next line of the script that triggers it.
I have the following scriplet script and I want, that it starts, when a parameter of the widget solo01 or solo02 … or solo10 changes:
var
movStart("Start moving") : Parameter "STOP", "GO" = "STOP"
speed ("Speed of movement") : Parameter 1..30 = 20
position1 ("DummyVolume01") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position2 ("DummyVolume02") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position3 ("DummyVolume03") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position4 ("DummyVolume04") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position5 ("DummyVolume05") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position6 ("DummyVolume06") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position7 ("DummyVolume07") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position8 ("DummyVolume08") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position9 ("DummyVolume09") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
position10 ("DummyVolume10") : Parameter 0..127 = 127
incstep : integer
Initialization
SetTimersRunning(false)
End
On TimerTick(ms : double)
position1 = position1 + incstep
if position1 >= 127 or position1 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position2 >= 127 or position2 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position3 >= 127 or position3 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position4 >= 127 or position4 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position5 >= 127 or position5 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position6 >= 127 or position6 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position7 >= 127 or position7 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position8 >= 127 or position8 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position9 >= 127 or position9 <=0
then SetTimersRunning(false)
end
if position10 >= 127 or position10 <=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
Theoretically do widgets not have parameters, but only values (and some gui related attributes, like a label). In a way the widget itself is the parameter. End of lecture

You can assign the movStart parameter of the scriptlet to the solo01 - solo10 widgets. You go to the edit view, select a soloXX widget, right-bottom select the scriptlet (just like any plugin) and choose the movStart parameter.
Or assign a handle to the scriptlet and do it from script. You should treat a scriptlet as if it were a plugin. In fact it is.
I originally built a Rackspace script that creates a kind of solo function where 0, 1 to 10 audio channels are soloed and automatically the non-soloed channels are driven with the volume to 0 and when all channels are no longer soloed all channels are again driven to the maximum volume. The script below does this as well. Now I wanted to add another function so that the channels are not abruptly driven to 0 or to full volume, but are gently faded in an adjustable time.
Here the source script:
//$<AutoDeclare>
// DO NOT EDIT THIS SECTION MANUALLY
Var
TP : Widget
UP : Widget
DOWN : Widget
//$</AutoDeclare>
// Called when a single widget value has changed
On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from DOWN
if newValue == 1.0 then
TP.SetWidgetValue(TP.GetWidgetValue()-1.0/24.0)
end
End
On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from UP
if newValue == 1.0 then
TP.SetWidgetValue(TP.GetWidgetValue()+1.0/24.0)
end
End

The first Part is another function for transposing, what not belongs to the described functionality.
And, as I understand, you want to use the auto fader that @schamass wrote?
I can create a sample, but right now I’m going to bed and tomorrow I’m spending time with my wife and kids, so it might take a while

You got it. But there is no hurry. I gave to work now also and have some other tasks, so I can work aon that further in some days. But It would be very kind to help me. Thank you.
I’m also at work right now, so i can’t do any coding either - but having a brief look at your script, the first thing i noticed: Using widget arrays would make your code much more compact (and also easier to maintain, in case you would have to increase or reduce the number of widgets).
Would you mind to also share the corresponding gig file?
This would make it easier to check if something else had to be done to make everything work. 
Well, thank you. The fadeing is like I wanted it. But despite the buttons are solo buttons I wanted, that more than one solo button can be active at the same time, like in my script/gig-file.
I think I can try to do that tomorrow
this would be very kind. Thank you very much.
Yes, thats exactly what I tried. Thank you very very much.
You’re welcome
