Title: Issue with 2 strings of lights that make up one line on door
Post by: Babalo09 on December 15, 2016, 12:49:06 AM

I'm having an issue with effects. I have 2 strings of lights that make up one line on door.

one string of lights starts and travels up the door. the second string starts and travels down the door.

I created a group (door Left) and added the first (Door Left 1) and second (Door left 2) segments.  when i add "BARS" effect or "Single Strand" effect to the Door Left group the effect travels in different directions. I change one of the segments (Door left 1) setting to left and it has no effect of the direction. Any ides?

So what kind of models are we talking about?  There is more than one way to draw up a door.  We need model types, which end the green dot it on, and controller start locations settings.

They are both straight line models (2) of them with the starting point in the middle (green dot) One goes up and one down.

The line that goes up from the center is the starting point for universe 1 and the one that goes down is the starting point for universe 2

With a starting point in the middle I always put the first string in reverse mode in my controllers.
