Effects List

this section details the actual effects the light sequencer is capable of generating along with little graphic layouts on how the lights change on the table it also details any special uses for the effect parameters and if they are used or not on the left you see an little graphical representation on how the lights change on the playfield the darker lights are the 'head' whilst the lighter lights (grey) represent the 'tail' the arrows show the direction the head moves (in this case it is towards the centre reference point) the light grey lines represent the centre reference point which doesn't actually have to be in the centre of the table not all effects use the reference point and some only use 1 axis of it bring on the effects effect ''seqallon'' & ''seqalloff' this effect will either turn on (or off) all the lights in the collection this effect once processed will not restore the states of the lights it is treated as an open ended effect which never expires you will need to manually call the stopplay method to restore the lights to their real state this is very useful for tilt mechanisms where you can turn off all the lights if the table is tilted and only restore them when you are ready to start a new ball please remember that you can still set the lights on your table in your script but they won't take effect until you stop the light sequencer (by stopplay) taillength not used repeat not used pause not used example play seqallon effect ''seqblinking' n/a this effect will blink (turn on, pause, turn off, pause) each light in the collection taillength not used repeat the number of times to turn the lights on and then off pause the time (in milliseconds) to pause between changing the state of a light example play effect ''seqrandom' this effect randomly turns on and off lights in the collection taillength the number of lights to change per frame for example if you have 100 lights in your collection and you set this to 40 then 40 lights will change state per frame repeat not used pause the total time to run the effect for example play seqrandom,40,,4000 effect ''sequpon'' & ''sequpoff' this effect turns on (or off) all the lights in the
