Scripting idea help

Help
1

Hi guys,

I have a personal video I want to create a script for, its a red light/green light joi game. My device is the handy. I would like to create a script that has a certain stroke speed during the red light sections and a certain stroke speed during the green light sections. The two speeds I would like to use are speeds 1 and 2 (the slowest and next one up) when using the device in manual mode. The stroke length would stay at 100% during both speeds.

Any ideas on the easiest way to achieve this? Thanks.

Funscripts usually don’t work with “speeds” as such but with a position and a time (in ms) like this:

{
    "actions": [
        {
            "pos": 0,
            "at": 0
        },
        {
            "pos": 100,
            "at": 700
        }]
}

So you would have to find the right distance between timings to achieve your two different speeds.
There’s probably not a very easy solution to this where you can just say “from 00:00 in the video to 00:45 I want speed 1” but you’d have to copy/paste and adjust the timings for each stroke. Or use something like OpenFunscripter if you think that’s easier.

For finding the right timings the beatbox tool from handyverse for FW4 might be helpful: Handyverse Beatbox
You can set positions and adjust the timing per cell and export it as funscript as a starting point.

Another solution would be to use an xtoys tease. I created an example here: Red Light Green Light Tease Example
You would have to import it into your own teases and edit it to your liking by adjusting/adding more triggers to the Job Steps:

Here it starts as the faster stroking and switches every 15 seconds (although not anymore after 45 because I just wanted to create a quick example). Also used 1% and 5% stroking speed as 1% and 2% would be barely distinguishable but you can adjust it to your liking.

It is probably much easier for what you want to do but won’t create a script. Just the tease how it is in xtoys. Also it is only adjustable by seconds, not milliseconds.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Think i’ll just stick to using manual mode for now, looks way more complicated than anticipated.

The funscript way has also the advantage that you can actually skip to a part of the video and the script will adjust.
The xtoys tease is only time based from when you started it. So if you pause the video or seek to a different time in the video it will be out of sync.
