Pal script for random Jingles

[sullen_penguin]

Hey guys,

 

Just wondering I know in the clockwheel I can set up for example:

 

Category A

Category B

Category C

Jingle

Etc

 

But I'm wondering if there is a way with a PAL script or otherwise I can perhaps randomize when a Jingle gets lined up so for example its not every 3 songs or whatever. So it might be:

 

2 songs, then Jingle, 3 songs then Jingle, 1 song then Jingle etc etc. I know I can clockwheel this but then its still going to have a repetitive pattern.

 

Any ideas / thoughts much appreciated

Hello,

Please take a look at my sticky PAL topic, part 1 and part 2

You can set a command to each seperate PAL as following :

- make the much as needed Event Sheduler scripts who are connected with PAL A, B etc etc

- load the PAL script A, B etc etc with a loop=false as ipTop

 

If that is to difficult you can write your own clockwheel where you play a random jingle from your ID directory every 2 or 3 or 4 songs

Hi there, I did have a look through your thread and I did see some suggestions that are similar to what I'm trying to achieve. I am just wondering where you mention 'with a loop=false as ipTop' could you explain that this does?

 

Thanks,

This is written on top of every PAL script

see :

PAL.Loop := True;

PAL.WaitForPlayCount(6);

CAT['Jingles (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);

QueueBottom can also been written as QueueTop
