Hello there,
I'm currently trying to develop a simple plugin that should send out Midi notes when a parameter is changed.
Currently I've assigned that parameter to a button to be able to toggle it like so:
effect 'plugin' button 2 1
While that works, things will get messy once I introduce more buttons. It would feel much more natural if I could address these buttons by their name, or the name of the corresponding parameter, something like:
effect 'plugin' break
Where break would be the param the plugin is listening on through "onParameter".
I've seen effect_command but could not find any more information on how to use that? Which commands would I be sending with it?
Is it possible to directly call a plugins parameters by VDJScript?
Thanks in advance,
Marco

No; you can get the name from the number but you can't address them by name.
You could enumerate and match manually.

Hi SBDJ,
thanks for the response!
May I ask how you are doing it within your Freestyler plugin?

How do you detect changes to these variables?
If I could do that it would be my next best option as I could name the variables instead of the buttons.
Thanks again,
Marco

Detection of changes in variable value is done by polling continuously :)

Ahh.. and I thought onParameter would detect that. Oh well.
How often do you check for changes? Every 1/2s?

It depends on the purpose, whatever works for your functionality. For the kind of plugin like the freestyler plugin, maybe 200 times a second or so lol

Btw, do you have any info on how to use effect_command?

effect_command relates to a parameter declared as VDJPARAM_COMMAND. The parameter you pass to the script is passed to the variable specified in DeclareParameter.
Few effects implement it tbh.

Ah okay, thanks! I'm curious: are there any documentations and guides on plugin development for pro users that are invisible for regular users?
I know about the SDK pages but they seem to be incomplete here and there?

No; the best documentation are the SDK headers themselves :)
