Examples

Scenario Play

To play scenario it is necessary to receive information about all scenarios available for playing. To do that first command should be “xStatus Scenarios”, which allows to get such information.

<aside> 💡 This command is required at least one time after Polywall has been started, otherwise Scenario Play will not work.

</aside>

Choose scenario from the list, which is necessary to play and put it instead of “Scenario Name” in related command. For example - “xCommand Scenarios Scenario "nodered" Play
As soon Scenario will start Polywall will reply information about all scenes in scenario and which scene is playing right now

Polywall Answer:

*s ActiveScenes Scene "Third" IsPlaying: 0 *s ActiveScenes Scene "First" IsPlaying: 1 *s ActiveScenes Scene "Second" IsPlaying: 0 ** end

Scene Play

To run any scene it is necessary to start scenario from which you want to start playing scene

<aside> 💡 You can check how to do this in previous example.

</aside>

After scenario has been started it is possible to use “xStatus ActiveScenes” command which allows to receive information about all scenes in playing scenario
Choose scene from the list, which is necessary to play and put it in the command. For example - “xCommand ActiveScenes Scene "Third" Play”.

Source add

<aside> 💡 Source Add command works only with .vmfu type of files.

</aside>

To open source use command - “xCommand Sources Source Add 1 'C:\polywall\Hall\1.vmfu' 10 10 500 320”, where:

1 - ID of display,
'C:\polywall\Hall\1. vmfu' - route to the file,
10 10 is the upper-left point of the source,
500 300 are the size of the source in pixels.

<aside> <img src="/icons/exclamation-mark_red.svg" alt="/icons/exclamation-mark_red.svg" width="40px" /> If you are using Polywall 3.7 or lower, files like xls, doc, ppt, etc requires to transfer them into .vmfu format. VMFU is our own format, however it is just XML storage, which can be created even by bat file -
