(LUA) Round values in grid to multiples of 10%

[RobertBell]

This is a funny sort of macro for me to write because I'm of the feeling that if you set a light to 52% there may have been good reason to do so. Equally, I'll laugh at anybody if they spend 10 minutes arguing that 53% looks better. On the other hand, a lot of people like to see things as 10,20,30 etc. just so it's neat and tidy.

This macro script should be run after you've selected a range of fixtures. It will round the intensities up or down such that each level ends in a zero digit.

Code: Select all

s = HC.GetCurrentSelectionSet(',')
for fixture in string.gmatch(s,"%d+") do
  x = HC.AttributeGetValue(fixture)
   if  math.fmod(x,10) >= 5 then
   HC.SetLevel(fixture, math.floor(25.5*math.ceil(x/10)))
  else
    HC.SetLevel(fixture, math.floor(25.5*math.floor(x/10)))
  end
end

You will need to be running 10.3.15 or greater to use HC.GetCurrentSelectionSet()

This doesn't work with the current version of the software (10.6.2001)

Nothing to do with the version you are running. Last time you tried it you used conventional lights. This time you're using movers.

try this:

Code: Select all

    s = HC.GetCurrentSelectionSet(',')
    for fixture in string.gmatch(s,"%d+") do
     x = HC.AttributeGetValue(fixture,'intensity','+V') -- more specific now
       if  math.fmod(x,10) >= 5 then
       HC.SetLevel(fixture, math.floor(25.5*math.ceil(x/10)))
      else
        HC.SetLevel(fixture, math.floor(25.5*math.floor(x/10)))
      end
    end
