Example : we have 4 moving heads
We open genarator we choose the 4 moving heads
We choose the circle move
We dont have the possibility the 1st and 2nd to make the same move and 3rd and 4th to follow with the same move and 1 sec delay. I am not good in explanation i know because of my english

4 moving heads but genarator to see it like 2 moving heads
1,2 make the same move and 3,4 the same but with delay

Hey mate, this is very easy to do using the "shift" slider down the bottom of the generator.

The slider give delay to each moving head ! I want the 1 and 2 moving head to be the first group and move together and 3-4 moving head to be the second group and move with delay . I want that we can group the fixtures in genarator .

Understood and noted.

I asked a few years ago if its possible to group fixtures in genarator !

We are not able to retrieve this post. Please tell us where it is.

By the way, we found another requirement from you regarding Generator: https://thelightingcontroller.com/viewt ... =11&t=2948
And this feature is existing now.

Now that I understand the question, +1 to what this guy is asking. Let's say I have a group of 16 movers, all in a line. When shifting off, all 16 fixtures will be delayed one after the other along your chase. It would be nice to be able to create these subgroups, much like Martin MPC, to choose how many fixtures are shifted off. For instance, I could create two groups of 8 doing an identical shifted movement this way. Or 4 groups of 4.. Hope that makes sense.

Create your Generator Scene for one mover, create individual scenes for each other mover using the same Generator Scene. Use a Macro to trigger all scenes at the same time. The use of a Pallette will enable each Scene to be edited quickly if needed.
I'm only a beginner at this but that's the way I would tackle it.

Check this thread:

https://thelightingcontroller.com/viewt ... =75&t=5133

Scroll to the bottom of the page. I explain how you can have 4 (or in my example, 8) moving heads grouped in pairs doing the same thing.
