COBRA Show Scripting
For the WSQP, it is possible to upload several predefined scripts onto the 18R2. As with regular COBRA
scripting, scripts can include everything from multiple mini-scripts (e.g. quick chases) to much larger and
longer shows. You can also create "step scripts" which require the user to manually press the STEP button
to jump to the next event.
Use event time to time to time firing, channel to select machine and cue for canister combination.
COBRA has changed their scripting format of the end result csv file by adding a “Fire Time” column.
This makes scripting for a flame machine easy to understand because it adds variable and configurable
firing durations for each event (particular cue activation).
Table 3 below shows an example cobra.csv file showing two scripts that could be uploaded to an 18R2
remote. The first script is triggered by pressing cue 16, and the second script triggered by pressing cue 17.
Notice the fire time column is a new addition to the v5 scripting, which adds a duration time value for each
event. Together with the canister addressing, this makes planning and scripting shows simple and efficient.
Please note that if a starting trigger button cue is used for your script that is within cue’s 1-15 on the same
trigger channel as a machine channel, then that cue cannot be fired manually. It is solely used as the script
trigger. Only one script can be running simultaneously. Scripts can be triggered in any order and any
number of times.
