Chapter 5 – Interactive Events
Event Description
times between which the interval occurs. You can also select days during which this event
is active.
Note: If you choose to make the timeout event Periodic throughout the day, the first
event will occur at the beginning of the active period.
Plugin Message
Sets the action that occurs when a message is received from a custom script plugin that is
attached to the presentation. Use the Plugin name dropdown menu to select an attached
plugin for the event to listen to. Enter the message string in the Plugin message field.
Please see the Parsers and Plugins tech note for more information on creating custom
scripts that send plugin messages.
User Defined Events
This feature allows you to save interactive events you use often so that you can use them more readily in the future. All
individual events can be added to your toolbar for immediate use, but, with User Defined Events, the parameters for your
event are saved.
For example, if you frequently use a 5 second Timeout event, you can create a User Defined Event with this specification.
In the future, instead of having to set each Timeout event to 5 seconds, you can use your previously created User Defined
Event. In addition, you can group multiple events into your custom event. When defining an interaction with it, any
interactive event within the User Defined Event will cause a transition to the next state. This will save you time by
eliminating the need for defining each individual event. Simply create a list of events, save it as a User Defined Event, and
define the event between the two states.
