I'm new to Xlights and have modest experience with LOR. I want to do a double spiral tree with 16 strings wrapping one way and 16 wrapping the other. The most basic move in a spiral tree is to sequentially light each string around the tree to give the spiral effect. That might be a single string at a time or it might be several, depending on the thickness of the band I want to spiral. I could hard code each individual strand to turn it on or off as needed, but that makes alteration of speed, size, etc, very time consuming. I have tried the preset spiral effect and bars effect, and I can somewhat simulate the desired result. But it looks more like a calculated rgb effect than a simple sequential lighting of the individual strands. (tough to describe). So my question is -- is there a preset effect that I am missing that would sequentially light whole strands going in a circle around a tree, whether spiral or not? It seems there should be such an effect that allows adjustment of speed and thickness of the band. Thanks!
