Is there anyway to make the “Phrase Select” menu in the Flex Phraser show as a regular menu instead of the popup styled menu? It seems to be the only element that does not have the option to show up as a regular menu. When I open the template I see there’s a switch with the value of @PhraseSelectPopup. If I change that to @PhraseSelect then I get a bunch of numbers instead of the phrase menu. If I create a “Menu” element and then add @PhraseSelectPopup to it’s value I get an on and off option instead of the phrases. Is there any work around at all?
The phrase selector is actually just a switch. The menu is created by Halion itself.
I did a test where I deleted all items from the FlexPhrase container, including the resources to clear out everything. After adding a switch with the @PhraseSelectPopup value, the menu still opened, even though there where no menu templates or elements.
The popup style is used because of its ability to deal with folders.
For a custom menu you will likely need to do some scripting attached to the “Filename” parameter of the Phraser.
Ugh, Nothing is easy with Halion lol.
It would be great to be able to use this feature in a hypothetical HALion 8 universe.
I’ve learned to speed up the process for things like this by creating a cloning script. Basically, a script that reads the values of the parameters you want and prints them in a format that makes sense for you to create your own parameter with.
