% Blade (Green to Red)” setting

@Fett263
Apologies for the stupid question:
I created a style using the "% Blade (Green to Red)” effect. Now how do I activate it?
This seems to be style specific. Does it have a global setting?
Also I have the #define FETT263_SAY_BATTERY_PERCENT on which is working and global but I was wondering if the effect can be global too.

Thanks!

If you mean the On Demand Battery Level effect, then you would do the Battery Level control in my prop.

See Controls here:

Effects are controlled at the style level so you would include on all styles if you want it.

OK so this:

  • Battery Level = Double Click + Long Click PWR
    *requires EFFECT_BATTERY_LEVEL style and/or FETT263_SAY_BATTERY_PERCENT or FETT263_SAY_BATTERY_VOLTS define

Right now if I activate this then the voice says battery level in percent. But how do I activate the effect battery level style? I added the % Blade (Green to Red) effect in the style builder but don’t know how to activate it.
Do I have to add EFFECT_BATTERY_LEVEL somewhere in the config? Like where the defines are?

That’s the effect that triggers the layer in the blade style to show.
The layer needs to be in the style for the blade you want it to show on.
It seems like you’ve added that.

You should see a layer in the style that says
TransitionEffectL<..................>,EFFECT_BATTERY_LEVEL>

As far as how to trigger it, click the power button 3 times, holding for one second on the third click before releasing.
It seems you’re doing that

It should show at the same time you hear the voice.

Do you have battery power?
Depending on how the saber is wired, you could hear the voice without seeing any LEDs if you are on USB power only.

OK, yes I’m on battery. I’m an idiot. I was on the wrong style. So I have to add that effect to every style if I want that globally? It’s ok, I’ll just have it on the first preset otherwise it will just be the voice.
Thanks again.

Yes, each preset gets loaded by itself, one at a time.
In order to have it on each preset, the blade style in each preset would need to have it.

I like to add a using statement in my config, like
using OnDemandBatteryLevel = AlphaL<TransitionEffectL<TrConcat<TrSmoothFade<500>,AlphaL<Mix<BatteryLevel,Red,Green>,SmoothStep<Scale<BatteryLevel,Int<0>,Int<35000>>,Int<-1>>>,TrDelay<1000>,TrSmoothFade<1000>>,EFFECT_BATTERY_LEVEL>,Ifon<Int<0>,Int<32768>>>;

Then at the tail end of all my bladestyles I can just add it like this:

  StylePtr<Layers<
    Stripes<1000,-300,Red,Rgb<128,0,0>,Black>,
    TransitionEffectL<TrConcat<TrFadeX<Percentage<WavLen<EFFECT_FORCE>,20>>,Pulsing<Rgb<90,0,0>,Red,400>,TrDelayX<Percentage<WavLen<>,80>>,Rgb<255,80,80>,TrFade<800>>,EFFECT_FORCE>,
    InOutTrL<TrConcat<TrInstant,HumpFlicker<Red,Black,50>,TrSmoothFade<1000>>,TrConcat<TrFadeX<WavLen<EFFECT_RETRACTION>>,HumpFlicker<Red,Black,50>,TrSmoothFade<1000>>,TransitionLoop<TransitionLoop<Black,TrConcat<TrCenterWipe<1000>,Red,TrCenterWipeIn<1000>>>,TrConcat<TrJoin<TrDelay<2000>,TrCenterWipe<2000>>,TransitionLoop<Black,TrConcat<TrCenterWipeIn<1000>,Red,TrCenterWipe<1000>>>,TrJoin<TrDelay<2000>,TrCenterWipeIn<1000>>,TransitionLoop<Black,TrConcat<TrCenterWipeIn<1000>,Red,TrCenterWipe<2000>>>,TrJoin<TrDelay<4000>,TrCenterWipeIn<2000>>>>>,
// On-Demand
    OnDemandVolumeLevel,
    OnDemandBatteryLevel
  >>(),

You can see I also do it for volume level.

Thanks. Sorry I’m new to code.

  1. What does this code do exactly? Like what is the visual result?
  2. Since I already have the transition effect layer in there I would have to remove it right? I assume you can’t have both.
  3. Where do I place the statement code exactly? At the top of the config below the defines?
    Newbie here.

Just select in the library for each style then, it will handle for you.

He was saying if you wanted to manually add to other styles you can, but if you’re not familiar with building styles just let the library do it for you.

There are a lot of older styles I want to keep so I may want to add that code to the end of the style.

It will depend on the style, but as long as you do it correctly you can certainly do it. Of course the style needs to support Layers<>, if it doesn’t you can’t add the same way.
