Party Saber Colour Wrapping?

ProffieOS
1

Slightly unusual one - I have a relatively simple blade style intended to achieve the Kestis colour changing effect using the EFFECT_USERx feature. Effect user is linked in the prop to a swing/button press combination.

It works great to achieve the colour changes, however when it gets to the last colour, that’s it - it doesn’t wrap back to the first colour on the next swing. The only way to reset it is by switching away from that font and then back to it.

It’s not a deal-breaker, but I guess my question is, can it be set to wrap back to the start, and if so, where would that get done - in the prop or in the bladestyle, or somewhere else in the OS?

Thanks in advance. Relevant code extracts below:

Prop file:

    case EVENTID(BUTTON_NONE, EVENT_SWING, MODE_ON | BUTTON_POWER):
      SaberBase::DoEffect(EFFECT_USER1, 0);
      return true;

Blade style:

Do you have /alt010 in your font? Your ModF<> is expecting it before it wraps to 0.

FWIW, you could just build the Party Mode recipe in my library and set Special Ability 1 to “Toggle Swing Change” and it would handle for you.

I just did some more work on this, and that was indeed part of it - my alt files only went up to /alt008.
I’d also missed out the ModF bits on the colour sequences, so this:
ColorSelect<AltF,TrFade<300>
needed to be this:
ColorSelect<ModF<AltF,Int<10>>,TrFade<300>

Now sorted and wrapping nicely. :slight_smile:
Thanks as always. :slight_smile:

That shouldn’t matter, the OS automatically restricts AltF to the existing altNNN folders found in the font. The reason you need ModF<> in the TrDoEffect<> is because it’s a Sum<>.
