Disable DMX output

[bryan1994]

Hello,

I have an installation consisting of:
1 CueCore 2
1 Kiosc Touch
2 Bstation 2

I would like to know if it is possible to deactivate the DMX outputs of the Cuecore by looking at a button of the BStation2. Or if there is another way to do this.

But finally is to be able to "block and unblock" all the buttons (on the 2 Bstation2 and the Kiosc Touch) from only one.

Thank you in advance for your feedback

Hi,

Enabling and disabling functionality is mostly done by enabling or disabling the appropriate Actionlist. This can be done in the webinterface, using the API or using a task in another Action.

The tricky part is that if you disable the OSC, UDP or Button source, you can't use that anymore to enable it again. There are a few tricks to get around this. One is to enable/disable the list through a different protocol than what you use for the controls. The other is a bit more work, and might cause you to hit the limits of ShowControl (amount of actions/task etc.)

You can route any functionality you want to disable through a Userlist. This is done by the task "Action - link". When using buttons, instead of placing the needed tasks in the button action, you put them in a new action in a userlist. Now in the original button action, you use the "Action - link" task to execute the action in the userlist. Now you can enable and disable the userlist, without disabling the other button actions.
