Home: Isadora: General: New user actors

nick User Jun 12, 2007, 5:34 AM Post #1 of 5 (1095 views) Shortcut New user actors Can't Post Hi Trying out the new user actors to get variables between scenes it only works for me if I type the value into the enter scene trigger value box manually, then I get the dialogue both saying do I want to update all instances etc.. If I feed a value to the actor down a wire it changes in that scene, but not in any others. Is this how it should behave? Cheers Nick

If you place this actor in many scenes, and make an edit to the values of the Enter Scene Trigger actors inside, and choose "Save & Update All" then all these User Actors will be updated. Thus, all Scenes using that actor will receive the new values. Does this make sense? I've attached an example User Actor to illustrate what I mean.

Just wanted to be sure I hadn't missed a trick for transfering values between scenes that had been generated within Isadora runtime as pandigital so eloquently put it. Its great for setting positioning and other parameters on projectors and the like for a multi-scene show. It was describing the behaviour as global variables that raised that hope for me. In some scenarios I would be quite happy typing in actors and dismissing dialogue boxes during an event - for others I would be more cautious (or not in a position to be able to). For me its less ambiguous to think of them as global constants, parameters or presets. Cheers Nick Cheers Nick

This is by no means a perfect solution but it might help in some cases. Gavin
