Scenarist - Specifying Button Help

[factoryfeatures]

After a video (or PGC) plays in Scenarist I want it to return to the Menu but Highlight the next button in line. How do I make the proper Post command for this?

EXAMPLE: Button #1 - goes to Video A
Button #2 - goes to Video B
After Video A plays and returns to the Menu I want Button #2 to be the next selection highlighted.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE.

Use GP values to find out what video has just been played.
ie set gp2=1 for clip 1 and gp2=2 for clip 2 in the pre commands of the titles. Then on the menu pre command if gp2=2 set highlight to button 2 etc

Hope that helps.
Oh make sure the forced button select isn't set.

Depending on what you want to happen you could take what welshbird said and put it in the post command, so it'll only highlight the next option once the video has been fully played. So if you menu out during play back, it'll still highlight the current option.

I usually select one GPRM for highlighted BTN (value = 1024, 2048, ...) and make a pre-cmd for menuPGC's like SetHL_BTN = GPRMx.

This (and any other surgested solution above) only works if you set the option "forced selected button" to non existend (Standard is BTN 1).

Unfortunately I don't totally get it.

VTS_1 - Title 1 - has a Menu with 3 buttons, Title 1 also includes 4 Video's (Vid 1, Vid 2, Vid 3, and Vid 4). After Vid 4 plays I want it to go to the Menu but have Button 2 highlighted (even if someone has used the NEXT button and skipped through Vid 4 to get back to the Menu).

So if I need to do this doing GPRM compares and comands. Then please tell me exactly what GRPM values I need to set for menu and the videos that are all in VTS_1 - TITLE 1.

Thanks.

THANKS Welshbird and Cona I read and re-read your instructions and FINALLY was able to figure out how to do it once I really took it step by step. Thanks.

Ok that sounds abit different.

First, do you really need a multi-PGC title? Often it's easier to setup a titleset with one title for each vid (each title only one PGC). If ask why, there are some threads on this board explaining the difference and pro/contra.

If you really need a multi-PGC Title do this:

Add a precmd to PGC_4:

1: mov GPRMx, 2048

Add a postcmd to PGC_4:

1: CallSS RSM=1, Rootmenu

Add a chapter to the PGC_4 track at the last possible location (length-one GOP would be the best)

Add a cellcmd to the last program of PGC_4 (your new chapter):

1: CallSS RSM=1, Rootmenu

For your rootmenu you now have to add a precmd:

1: SetHL_BTN = GPRMx
2: mov GPRMx, 1024

Your first play should contain this as precmd:

1: mov GPRMx, 1024
2: JumpSS VTS_1; Title_1 : Rootmenu
