OBS Countdown Timer - How to Redirect to a Scene At ZERO SECONDS

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 19 окт 2020
  • This tutorial explains how to apply an OBS countdown timer script so that when the timer is complete, it automatically redirects to a scene of your choice. This script is a modification by a user named "EmbodyWisdom Today," and it was created from the original countdown.lua script. What it provides is both a text message or a scene select when the countdown script reaches zero. You can also define days and hours if needed. If you are looking to open up your live stream with a song and countdown that switches to a welcome scene when the song ends, this countdown timer will be perfect for your needs. Another benefit is that many other countdown scripts don't work right with version 26.0. This one does.
    You must follow Scott's set up procedure. If you open up the countdown script and select the scene to switch to BEFORE determining the time length, the script will immediately change the scene before you can even test it. The script switches immediately, and this causes havoc to OBS Studio. It is essential to set your countdown length BEFORE selecting the scene.

    After installing this countdown timer and getting it set up, I noticed something strange. When the time reaches 0 and transitions to the next scene, my stinger transition partially plays twice. It plays the second half, then the first half, then the scene pops up. Any idea on what's causing this issue?

      Gretytech, I'm unaware of a way to have OBS automatically detected the end of the song and execute a scene switch but what most of us do is simply add a song track and set the countdown to the length of the song. I hope this answers you question.

    • @ScottFichter
      @ScottFichter  3 года назад

      AirStrike, so the countdown timer scene does switch you to the next scene right? Can you explain what happens when the next scene plays? Are you using a custom transition between scenes? Maybe the next scene contains the animation that looks like a transition? I need clarity. Thanks dude. I wish I could see what it's doing.

    • @AirStrikeGG
      @AirStrikeGG 3 года назад

      It is hard to explain with words but I'll try,
      1- my transition has a video of a grenade. The pin pulls.. there is fire explosion and then the scene switches.
      2- now using the auto scene switcher.. after timer has come to zero, the transition video starts.. the grenade pulls a pin and then the video loops back again .. so it like pull pin - pull pin and scene change .. no explosion.
