Need help with a script.
Would like to add an action to the ONINIT to set a Preset for the Fx EQ10.
More details:
I have 7 saved presets within the Fx EQ10. would like Preset "B1" set, as the one used automatically at startup.
(currently have to open the gui and set the preset each time I start VDJ, would like to add this to the ONINIT, so this can be done automatically at startup)
I have looked though the Plugin actions of VDJscript, and could not determine how to reference the named preset "B1", for the Fx EQ10.
Help !

can't change to directly with effect_string, but can query get_effect_string and cycle presets
something like this
repeat_start 'someName' 30ms -1 & param_equal `deck master get_effect_string 'eq10' 1` "B1" ? [it's equal] repeat_stop 'someName' : deck master effect_button 'eq10' 6
something like this
repeat_start 'someName' 30ms -1 & param_equal `deck master get_effect_string 'eq10' 1` "B1" ? [it's equal] repeat_stop 'someName' : deck master effect_button 'eq10' 6

Thank you very much Locodog
That works perfectly and saves a lot of time at startup.
-----------------------------
I also use Nicotux's mic Fx pad-page, MARS and use EQ10 as the Fx effect on the mic.
How does one reference the mic's, EQ10, so it's preset can be set to the TALK, preset?
I have tired to replace deck master in your script above with mic and also tried deck mic
both don't work.
when I open the mic's GUI it's called EQ10 (mic)
if I open the Master decks GUI it's called EQ10 (master)

take a look in MARS .... mic is a negative deck and can't be use with "deck"
however to workaround it can be used as a slot :
repeat_start 'someName' 30ms -1 & param_equal ` get_effect_string 'mic' 'eq10' 1` "B1" ? [it's equal] repeat_stop 'someName' : effect_button 'mic' 'eq10' 6

Thank you Nicotux for a quick answer.
I have tried
where TALK is named preset, and it does NOT work.
What needs to be tweaked with the script?

A general question for scripting.
How can one bracket one action from another?
So with the above script, how does one add another action. like deck 1 volume 100% and NOT have it part of of the Negative response to the aaa ? xxx : yyy format .. ie if a & is added after the yyy how do you keep it from becoming part of the yyy action.
Hope that is clear .
Let me say it a diff way
say one has aaa ? xxx : yyy
and then one wants to also do something else, that does not depend on "aaa"
How does one write
deck 2 volume 100% & (aaa ? xxx : yyy) & deck 1 volume 100%
since
deck 2 volume 100% & aaa ? xxx : yyy & deck 1 volume 100%
could be parsed as
(deck 2 volume 100% & aaa )? xxx : (yyy & deck 1 volume 100%)
above line NOT wanted
How does one separate actions in VDJscript?
so that the first script is NOT part of the "aaa" and an action at the end, is NOT part of "yyy"

Virtual DJ remembers the last setting which You use before close the , so that You have it at next Startup.

Yes that's true for many things, and equally NOT true for many settings.
If everything was saved from one session to the next, it would solve the issue of resetting a lot. (and could cause problems if you are restarting VDJ to fix something not acting as one expects, maybe)
for example the volume faders, the positions of the EQs, Master volume, .......... and drum roll...... the selected Preset for EQ10 are NOT saved between sessions of VDJ, else would not be trying to add actions to the ONINIT.
Is there a way to save which EQ10 Preset is selected/active, between sessions?
-----------
(this is all based on what VDJ saves, not based on what a controller(s) might set things to)

I'm sorry, I tested with many things that used to work... (even with my bigFXGUI window)
get_effect_<thing> <slot> <effect> <index>
does not work anymore :( and return boolean instead
(maybe a side effect of 6 slots implementation ?)
but there is more :
effect_select mic 'eq10' & get_effect_string 'mic' 1
will not be a query anymore and will ... empty the name
effect_select mic 'eq10' & get_effect_string 'mic' 1 'Club'
sets the name "Club" ... but only the name not the preset itself
get_effect_slider 'mic' 'eq10' 2
do not work anymore either
so that NO, there is no way anymore to get the preset used by EQ10 (or any other values) with mic booth aux release

to your general question, there is no direct method to encapsulate script actions.
but there's a few ways to do it indirectly.
best way is, if you can; just write it in the right order.
not always possible, sometimes things have to happen in order inconvenient for script.
so
deck 2 volume 100% & (aaa ? xxx : yyy) & deck 1 volume 100%
best writing
deck 1 volume 100% & deck 2 volume 100% & (aaa ? xxx : yyy)
maybe that won't work so
deck 2 volume 100% & aaa ? xxx & deck 1 volume 100% : yyy & deck 1 volume 100%
^annoying to repeat yourself but vdj doesn't mind
a bit of a pain if you're working on big scripts, if timing isn't too critical, do this
set 'stepCount' 0 & repeat_start 'stepScript' 30ms 2 & cycle 'stepCount' 2 & var 'stepCount' 1 ? deck 2 volume 100% & aaa ? xxx : yyy : deck 1 volume 100%
there are other ways but they get dangerous.

there is a problem with calling effect button button too
needs to specify a value now : effect_button mic 6 -1
... maybe spurious parameter interfering
i finally got ways to read the preset from mic eq10 (but only when in the slot) :
effect_select mic eq10 & repeat_start_instant xxx 10ms 42 & get_text `effect_string mic 1` & param_cast text & param_equal "Club" ? repeat_stop xxx : effect_button mic 6 -1
fix the Club to your effect "TALK" and the 42 is there in a way not to infinite loop (no way found to save current effect and current preset)
and invert final test to allow to go on with other script actions
an alternative way (with possible script extension)
effect_select mic eq10 & repeat_start_instant xxx 10ms 42 & get_text `get_effect_string mic 1 Club` & param_cast boolean & param_equal false ? effect_button mic 6 -1 : repeat_stop xxx

Thank you so much Nicotux you are the magician with VDJ script..
the above, your seconded script works perfectly, yay ! ! Thank you
and could NOT get your first script to work for me.
I can tell you I would never have figured this out..
Again thank you so much.

Nicotux do you have Pro Infinity License?
If not, I would love to purchase one for you.. as a small part, for all the amazing work and help you do for all.

Thanks, Yes I have one, simply linked to another account I rarely use here
