Using Directions

Functions Provided For Setting Effect Directions

The following table provides an overview of all functions to modify effect directions:

Function

Description

void SetDirection(int value)

Sets the Direction. Please use a constant as described below for value.

int GetDirection()

Returns the current Direction.

void SetDirectionCrossMode(int value)

Use 1 (TRUE) to activate the direction Cross Mode. Use 0 (false) to deactivate it.

int GetDirectionCrossMode()

Returns 1 (TRUE) if the direction Cross Mode is activated, otherwise 0 (false).

void ToggleDirectionCrossMode()

Toggles the direction Cross Mode.

 

Remarks

Not all effects which use directions offer Cross Mode. Therefore, the functions SetDirectionCrossMode, GetDirectionCrossMode, and ToggleDirectionCrossMode are only available if the effect offers Cross Mode. Also the effects mostly offer just a selection of all the directions which are listed below. The function SetDirection will only set directions which are offered by the effect.
