Description
The Macro command executes the CueScript instructions stored in a macro. A macro is a single command
that expands automatically into a set of commands to perform a particular task. Macros are defined within
CueServer Studio. When the macro command is executed, all of the commands defined in the macro are
executed in it’s place.
For instance, if Macro 1 is defined to include the commands
Time 5 At 100
, then from somewhere else
the command
Channel 7 Macro 1
were executed, the result would be to select channel 7, then change
the fade time to 5 seconds and set channel 7’s level to 100%.
Macros can contain an arbitrary number of CueScript commands, and may even call upon other macros.
When macros call upon other macros, this is called “nesting”.
Take care to not create infinite loops by having one macro call upon another macro, which in turn calls
upon the first macro. This will create an “infinite loop”.
!
A common mistake is to use the Go command in conjunction with the Macro command (for example:
Macro 1 Go
). The Macro command does not need Go in order to function. The CueServer will interpret
Macro 1 Go
as two separate commands, the first will be to execute Macro 1, the second will be to make
the active playback fader step to the next cue, which is a valid combination of commands, but usually not
intended.
