How to cue a timeline from a cue list

[sanderloonen]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a way to have timeline in a scene, which I want to cue from the main cue list.
in the timeline there are break markers, so the timeline starts, hits a break marker to pause.
then I want a cue to restart my timeline from that marker.

I have seen the "action Cue" which I think I should use.
but I cant get it to work and there is a yellow triangle error which says "the action cue is secret"

please help

ciao

Hello!
Maybe you can create a cue trigger on the play of your timeline? right click on the play button, create trig and drag and drop the cue in your cue list .

You also have the possibility to create a trig cue on the marker to go to the time marker
Hope it's help

Hi Walter,

thanks for your reply.
yes, I can do that. put a trigger on the timeline.
but then when the timeline hits my break marker it stops.
to then start again (while making sure that the timeline is on the same marker) I would have to make 2 cue's
one cue to jump to the right marker
one cue to re-start the timeline.

I am sorry to say that the manual is not very clear about the cue-ing.
Maybe for the most shows that get done with smode it is all easy, but coming from a lighting background for theatre (dance and opera mostly) I find the cueing difficult to understand....

the Action Cue?
could you explain a little more about that?

thanks

Sander

Hello!
What if you connect the play button and the go to marker trigger to an exposed trigger ?

You can also create 2 cues and connect them to the same TC. The first one is the go to marker and the second one paly the timeline

Hope it helps!
