How to set comet flight path
How to adjust the comet’s orbit. To fly in a straight line without turning due to the influence of gravity, I want the path to be straight
Excluding a position from receiving firing system addresses
For various purposes you may find yourself needing to add effects to a show design strictly for the visualization, effects that you don’t want to be part of the exported firing system script or to consume racks. Although various workarounds exist, the <Exclude This Position> choice in the firing system selector of position properties is the feature meant for this purpose. Figure 1 – The Firing System field of the Edit Properties dialog has an <Exclude This Position> option. Figure 1 shows the selected option. After setting this option for a position, the “Addressing > Address show…” function and other addressing functions will fill the Universe, Section, Module Or Slat Type, Rail, Pin, Rack, and Tube fields of all events at the position with blank values. The “Racks > Add racks for show…” and other racking functions will not add racks for the position. The rack layout view will not show the list of red circles representing unaddressed shells. The export firing system script functions will ignore events at the position if their Rail and Pin properties are blank (which they will be as a result of addressing the show).
Reply To: I can´t see the preview
Good news, until yesterday I couldn’t see the previews. Today I installed the beta version 2024.03.16-c7e05825f and it is fixed. Great job finale team, thank you

Any tips to create a sim for 3 stage humming comets?
Hi all, I’m trying to create a sim for a 3 stage humming comets similar to those in “Siren’s Call” by Winda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwqhb_J4VKE It seems like a modified rising whistle comet is the closest starting point but I’m struggling but I’m struggling with the ability to create the 3 stages. Using the effect editor I’ve been able to setup a 3x repeating sound but I haven’t found any way to get anything close to the motion even close to the 3 staged self propulsion these effects seem to have. I’ve tried adding multiple breaks thinking each break would give a boost to the new comet effect but the overall trajectory still seemed to follow the arc of a normal comet. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, CK
Reply To: Combining shows with the same timestamps
Hi Martin, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. We are traveling this week and hosting the Pyro Technology Conference which makes it a bit harder to keep up in other areas. You should be able to get the exact result you want following these steps: 1) Address your Saturday show. 2) Select the entire script and press L to lock the addresses. 3) Select the entire script and press Ctrl+C to copy. 4) Open your Sunday show. 5) Go to ‘Show > Set show duration’ and increase the duration of the Sunday show to at least 5x longer than the length of the show. 6) Click on the timeline at a point far beyond the end of the Sunday show and press Ctrl+V to paste. This should paste your Saturday show into your Sunday show and the Saturday events should be significantly separated on the timeline so they can’t be accidentally mixed up. 7) Confirm that the Saturday addresses are still locked (look for blue lock icons in the rail and pin columns in the script window) 8) Address the Sunday show. 9) After addressing the Sunday show, delete the Saturday events that you paste into the Sunday show. The events were only pasted temporarily to reserve pins. You should now have a Saturday show file and a Sunday show file with non-overlapping addresses.
Combining shows with the same timestamps
Hi everyone, We are currently building a show that will happen in the upcoming week. For your information, the show is on Saturday and Sunday, the Sunday show is almost a copy of the show that will take place on Saturday but some parts of this Saturday show are extracted on the Sunday show. As we have enough space on our modules / rails we want to prep the shows in one time (a lot of our position are at height so we want to spare time on t his) For example, on the Saturday show we use on rail 1, pin 0 to 4, for the Sunday show I want to use pin 5 to lets say 9. But when we would duplicate the events everything would go twice on the Saturday show. Therefor I want to learn the program that it needs to start with the upfollowing pin in the Sunday show after the last pin that was used on the Saturday show. Is there a workaround for that learning auto addressing to start from lets say pin 5 on rail 1 on the Sunday show? Kind regards, Martin

The inserted base map can be freely adjusted in position and size, which can improve the designer’s creative efficiency.

hello，can i ask a question?I created the effect of this flower in a project. How can I copy the effect of this flower in other projects?I found that after making this effect into a macro, I can re-insert it into the same project with the same firing point, but when it is inserted into other projects, because there is no same firing point, I cannot use the effect macro.
