Do You Need Help? Post it here / Applying Singlestrand Chase to Custom Model

« on: July 10, 2015, 10:54:10 AM »

I'm new to Xlights and have been playing around with it for a few days now.  I'm having trouble with an effect for a custom model of a candy cane created using a total of 25 RGB nodes.  I'm trying to apply a single-strand chase effect in the hope that it would function similar to a leaping arch (bouncing back and forth from base to tip and then reverse).  The lights begin to chase as expected starting at the base of the candy cane, but when they reach the height where the tip of the cane begins, a second chase sequence begins starting from the tip of the cane.  Both chases meet at the top of the cane arch and when they touch, they each bounce in the opposite direction and the sequence repeats.

The custom model was created using sequential node numbers from 25 to 1, beginning at the cane base and wrapping around to the cane tip.  I've been working under the assumption that the lights should chase in the same sequence the nodes are entered into the model.

Is the behavior I'm seeing normal?  I feel like I must be doing something wrong.  I hope the description of the model makes sense.  If not, please let me know and I'll do my best to explain better.

I have to say that this software is awesome.  Many thanks to the developers who devote their time and energy to this project!!!

Best Regards,
Mike
