RackspaceName only works from root in Lemur?

OSC
1

Hi I wanted to have the RackspaceName available in Lemur through OSC and while this works from the ‘root’ in a Lemur template, it does not seem to work when it’s used placed inside a container or from an other interface, even when a custom address (/RackspaceName/light) is used…
I have now solved it by making the used containers smaller to leave space for the RackspaceName in the root but it seems strange that I can not use that within a container??

In GP itself there’s no way of putting anything else than standard characters in the OSC name, so a slash to define a path to a container is not possible, right?..

Any suggestions???
cheers Hans

Create your own script in Lemur to respond to the /RackspaceName message and use the setattribute function to set the appropriate attribute

Please check Lemur docs for more info on this

No worries - I hadn’t quite realized how Lemur scripting really worked when I did the original template. There will be a new enhanced template coming soon that takes advantage of this kind of scripting

Everything works on my lemur to GP
Except I cannot get rackspace name and song name to appear.
I have two way coms working all ok.
The script shown in this list does not show how to set attribute? Rest of script would give me a clue. I tried all week to sit this out,any help would be appreciated,
Thanks simon
