Topic: VDJ SCRIPT: How to abort an ongoing instruction?
Hi,

I have mapped a key that allows me to fade out the current track and then load the next song in the playlist:

auto_crossfade 10000ms & wait 10000ms & deck left stop_button & auto_crossfade 100ms & deck left load_next & mix_now : nothing

This action takes about 20s. If for example I change my mind after 5 seconds (so that the current song keeps playing till the end and the next one is not loaded and played) , how could I abort the ongoing instruction? For example by keeping pressed the same mapped key.

Would you have any suggestion on how to achieve that?

Thanks,

GD

Not always possible, this case we can.
The process takes 10100ms, so in a bracketed part of the script we set a variable, wait, then unset the variable. Then in the main body of the script query the state of the variable

( var autoXF 0 ? set autoXF 1 & wait 10100ms & set autoXF 0 : set autoXF 0 ) & var autoXF 1 ? auto_crossfade 10000ms & wait 10000ms & var autoXF 1 ? deck left stop_button & auto_crossfade 100ms & deck left load_next & mix_now : nothing : auto_crossfade
