I have been working on adding a Smart Start Timer to LokSound 5 sound bulletins without this feature. I copied a known working Smart Start Timer sequence to an empty sound slot, removed any associated .WAV audio files, and saved it as a blank Smart Start Timer in the Template Folder. Then I load a sound bulletin without a Smart Start Timer, select sound slot 2 and copy the blank Smart Start Timer sequence to sound slot 2. Right Click on sound slot 2 to edit, copy (Shift Click) the Smart Start container, the “S” container, and the (3) connected transition nodes. Now Right Click on sound slot 1 “Prime Mover” to edit, set zoom level to 30%, click above the “MS” container in the open space and paste the Smart Start Timer into the page. At this point a few important connections must be reconnected, audio files in “S” container reconnected, and runtime actions cleaned up. Sound CV14 controls the length of the Smart Start Timer, 1 = 1 minute, 3 = 3 minutes, etc.
This process is very effective, yields great results, but warrants a working knowledge of LokSound 5 sound bulletin programming logic. If anyone wants more details please be kind to reach out and let me know.
Thanks to Peteski for inspiring me to keep going and figuring it out!
Cheers!
