Trouble with special ability controls

You need style code that supports.

Let’s Talk About New Multi-Phase, Kyber Select and Alt Font capabilities for OS7 Way back in 2019 I originally designed my first “Pull to the Darkness” style ([https://youtu.be/YG0y8sYRp6M]) which was meant to represent Ben Solo’s transformation to Kylo Ren. It was one of my first shared styles and the original was a simple ColorCycle (way before we had Color Changing on Proffie). Even back then I was chasing the ability to have the saber change from a normal “Light Side” sounding saber to the iconic “Dark Side Unstable” sound but it wasn’t possible at that time. Over the years I’ve done multiple iterations of this style using the latest style code, from the 2.6CC Fork, to Dual Phase styles, to Edit Mode but the sounds just weren’t possible. Then during OS6’s development I began toying with changing out the hum. Ultimately, that got held out for OS7 since we had so much already added. Then during development of OS7 I was able to get a simple “hum” change running using the new style / font synergy capabilities. I showed it to Fredrik and he asked why we didn’t change the swings, or ignitions or retractions, then he went and created the Alt Font (Alt Sound) functionality since I had no idea how. And the result has now opened so much new potential for ProffieOS7 with way more interaction and immersion possible. The new Alt Font capabilities open the door for so many things I’ve been chasing over the years and now I’m working to incorporate them into the OS7 library. I wanted to do a bit of a demo and explanation on Alt Fonts and how it relates to the library’s new “Multi Phase” and “Kyber Select” capabilities. While it’s a fairly “advanced” feature, Fredrik has made it surprising simple to implement and set up on the font side. Then on the style side I am building the controls and features into the Library to unlock the features. That’s the real “key”, with OS7 there are new ways to set up your fonts to allow them to interact directly with the style code to give you completely unique experiences in every preset. In this video, I’ll cover some of the ideas and ways to do these in Phase 1 (there’s a ton more options coming in future Phases) and how to actually set the font up. HINT: it’s actually pretty easy and straightforward. I highly recommend this video for anyone using or interested in the ProffieOS7 Style Library. Enjoy!
