I have a scorpion sky that I would like to prgram to do a liquid sky and tunnel effect. Can someone help with the valves I would use or steps? This is for a Halloween display.
Thanks,
Eric

Assuming that the fixture can do what you want you will need to post a list of the fixtures atributes (this will be in the user manual). Aside from that once you have the required info Im sure you can put the values into FS yourself ?

That is just it the manual sucks.

I am assumeing that you just do a horizontal line then pan it up or down for a liquid sky.
Not sure how to the the tunnel/vortex.

For some reason I cant get the manual off the site. If you can please post it here and I'll have a look.
You should know that programming a Laser is a bloody nightmare as there are normally loads and loads of channels to do all the clever tricks.. My pet hate is programming lasers! Although I HAVE to do it more and more these days as they are so affordable now and more of my clients want to buy them.

Oke i have taken a look and in de PDF there aren't any Pictures of the Paterns.
But you need to Scroll thru the Pattern Channels in Search voor the Fortex/Tunnel/Blackhole
This should be Channel 2
and The pattern Should look like a Circle

Yes, it say channel 2 is the pattern channel and says values 1-35 are the patterns. The fixture file I downloaded from here uses different pattern #'s. I guess I will have to play with that tonight when I get home.
Is there an easy way to increase the chanel 2 value by one. Would I just change that in the fixture editor??
Nevermide I just found out Ctrl + and - work.

Yes there is.
You need to First select a Fixture Channels on the Right side sliders.
So in your case you need to Press one time on the Pattern channel with the mouse.
and now you can Increase +1 with the "+" Button On the Numpad ( THis only seems to work with the NUMPAD!)
And Decrase -1 with the "-" Button on the NUMPAD.
