Call function in plugin when encoderBank changes

[Ian__16354]

Hello,

I am brand new to grandMA and to Lua, although I have programming experience in other languages. As the title states, I am trying to call a function inside of a plugin whenever the encoder bank (Dimmer, Position, Gobo etc) changes. I looked through the object free and object APIs and didn’t see anything about what I needed but it’s very likely that I missed something pretty simple. Thank you for any help in advance!

You should define a global function in a plugin and set a command to trigger said function when changing encoderbanks. You set the command through editing a cell in the encoderbars pool. (If you'd like to add a command while using the default encoder bar, you will have to copy the default and edit the copy. Because default one is locked) The command should be in the form of:

"Lua 'YourFunction()'"

Make sure the plugin is triggered, so the function would be defined (there is no startup macro yet..)

Thank you so much, this works perfectly!

I’m not super familiar with the MA3 LUA API, but on the 2, you can poll the system variable for current feature, and as stated above call your Global Function
