I want to trigger a video skin effect instead of toggle it on and off but I cannot find the right command. Is there a VDJ script command for the trigger action? I searched documentation but I could not find what I am looking for.

you can loop and look for the event by yourself using a repeat script
repeat_start "THELOOP" 100ms -1 & THEEVENTRAISED ? repeat_stop "THELOOP" & TRIGGEREDACTION : nothing

Hi Nicotux thanks for your quick response. So right now I have the "K" key on my keyboard mapped to this:
deck 1 toggle 'showtitle'
I need the command to trigger 'showtitle' instead of toggle. I tried this:
deck 1 trigger 'showtitle'
That does not work.
What is the right word to get it to trigger without having to turn it off again. I also tried "on" "active" etc. but none of those words work.

So you can this to turn it on:
and this to turn it off:
For future reference just use the same post we'd had the original conversation in, rather than opening a new post of each variant of the same question ;-)
set 'showtitle' 1
and this to turn it off:
set 'showtitle' 0

OK thanks and sorry for posting a new thread. I didn't want to hammer you with basic question after question so thought I would open it up to the general populace since you're the only one in my other thread:-) Btw is there a way to delete threads I start and clean things up?

No way to delete them. But it's fine, you can carry on here. I'll keep my eye on it in case I can help more.
But if you have questions of a similar nature just post them here ;)

Ok thanks. Basically I want to press a key on my keyboard the title comes up and then fades away without me having to press anything again. Is this possible?

It will be. I’ll have a look when I get to my machine.
If someone else wants to chime in, in the mean time. Feel free.

that may depend on effect (i don't know about showtitle)
but "title" effect have :
position (effect_slider 1 or video_fx_slider 1)
and delay (effect_slider 2 or video_fx_slider 2)
and duration (effect_slider 3 or video_fx_slider 3)
and style (effect_slider 4 or video_fx_slider 4)
or you can use a video skin

Nicotux - it is a video skin.
var ‘showtitle’ 1 will turn it on.
Basically. He wants to press a button to turn it off then say 30 seconds later it turns off, without having to press anything.
That’s the code he wants.

Dan basically your original code did this. It got crossfader position and triggered the title and then the title went away by itself. I just need a way to copy whatever was going on with that trigger action over to the key/button mapping script. You had language including the word pulse but I'm still new to a lot of this terminology so I don't know how to script it correctly.

fadeout Xms [Start fading after] Yms [fade to nothing in Yms]
would be the one to look at

Hi locodog. Where do I place that code? Also where in the code do I put the "showtitle" object?
