Event Manager - Event order.

Postby Twit on Sun Jun 06, 2004 7:09 am

It seems as though the event manager does not work in the order that you assign actions to a specific event.

IE 1: Show overlay
2: Wait 1000ms
3: Close overlay.

If i try the above then all i get is the wait. I presume xlobby does not follow the events in order with overlays.

It works on launch notepad - wait 5 seconds - launch something else. But flatly refuses to do overlays.

I was trying to make a way to show my guests that when they have 'clicked' on a song to add to the current playlist that the click 'worked'.

As xlobby is now there is no 'proof' that the track has been added, I wanted to get something sort of like the old album cover overlay when adding an album.

Later
Simon.

Has anybody got this to work or have a work around?

Update: If i use goto:menu - wait 5 seconds - goto playlists then i never go to the menu but only to playlists 5 seconds later.

BUT if you run xlobby not in full screen you will have noticed that the xlobby button in the taskbar 'slides' when changing screens. when i run the above event the taskbar slides as though it has changed but the screen remains the same.
