An “action” is a palette-function<\/strong><\/span> associated with a move.\u00a0 The\u00a0palette-function<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 can work against the same (issuing)<\/strong> palette (using “me<\/strong><\/span>” for the palette name) or a different palette. You can use the short-cut naming, i.e. 01_B.\u00a0 It is sort of like having autofx commands inside a palette telling other palettes (or itself) what to do.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Actions usually appear in front of the other entries in the *moves nc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

\/* Assume this palette is called ArtistePalette_01_A<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Action,1<\/span>%0<\/span>%01_B<\/span>%color%blue<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Action,2<\/span>%2.5<\/span>%me<\/span>%color%orange
\n<\/span>Action,3<\/span><\/span>%0<\/span><\/span>%01_C<\/span><\/span>%scale%1.1
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\/* the red 1<\/strong> above<\/strong><\/span> associates the action with the 1st move below. So\u00a0 3<\/strong>\u00a0seconds\u00a0after<\/strong> the 1st move is executed, the Action associated with it, the red 1 above<\/span><\/strong>, will turn a palette called 01_B <\/strong><\/span>the color BLUE<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\/* the\u00a0 red 2 above<\/span><\/strong> associates the action with the 2nd move below. So\u00a0 1<\/strong> second\u00a0after<\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0\u00a02nd move is executed, the Action associated with it, the\u00a0red\u00a02 above<\/span><\/strong>,\u00a0 WILL DELAY<\/strong> for an additional<\/strong> 2.5<\/strong><\/span> seconds and THEN<\/strong> will turn a palette called\u00a001_A\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>the color orange<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\/* the\u00a0\u00a0red\u00a03 above<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0associates the action with the 3rd move below.
\nSo\u00a0\u00a00.5<\/strong>\u00a0seconds\u00a0after<\/strong>\u00a0the 3rd\u00a0move is executed, the Action associated\u00a0with it, the\u00a0red\u00a03\u00a0above<\/span><\/strong>, will\u00a0scale<\/strong> the palette called 01_C<\/strong> <\/span>by 10% larger.<\/p>\n

You can create dummy-moves for the sole purpose of using actions as mini-events. Dummy moves have no movement<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(<0,0,0>,<0,0,0,1>)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>but do have a duration<\/span><\/strong>. The durations above are 3<\/span><\/strong> and 1<\/strong> and 0.5<\/strong><\/span>, respectively.<\/p>\n

To execute all the actions\u00a0 you would simply use *autofx<\/strong> to execute the moves. Example:<\/p>\n

1,r=p%01_A%move0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This will cause the\u00a03 actions associated with the\u00a04 moves to execute in succession.<\/p>\n

You could also, as always,\u00a0 execute a single move at a time or a range of moves.<\/p>\n

And of course you can further expand the powers of the actions by naming palettes the same and sending the same action to a group of same-named palettes. (Palette-Grouping).<\/strong><\/p>\n

————————-
\nNot only Palette-Grouping<\/strong> but Palette-Action-Chainin<\/strong>g in that the Palette you direct an action to could itself talk to 1 or more Palettes.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

Action,4<\/span>%0%02_D<\/span>%move0
\nAction,4<\/span>%0%02_E<\/span>%move0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine that palette 02_D<\/span><\/strong> has 10<\/strong> moves\u00a0 and 02_E<\/span><\/strong> has 15<\/strong> moves each with an associated action (10 actions and 15 actions respectively directed at\u00a0 a total of 25\u00a0more palettes).
\nThings could get laggy depending but you to see the creative\u00a0 possibilities and control are endless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also note that we have 2 actions<\/strong><\/span> for a 4th move. The would both execute when triggered in succession from an *autfox command that included the 4th move. This sort of emulates multiple commands on an *autofx line.
\n————————-<\/p>\n

NOTE:the duration of the 3rd move is less than 1 second (0.5<\/strong><\/span>). You cannot have main events that are less than 1 second apart so this is a great\u00a0work-around and alternative to solving that issue when needed.<\/p>\n

NOTE: The moves don’t HAVE to be dummy moves.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Unlike *autofx, Actions can only have one command. No multiples delineated by “$” are allowed.<\/p>\n

NOTE: You don’t have to have an action for every move<\/p>\n

NOTE: We have effectively embedded about 30 mini-events under\u00a0 ONE main event using the above examples.<\/p>\n
