Swaps and Swap Table<\/h1>\n

Swaps allow you to dynamically change values in commands, events, or titles.
\nYou can modify values without having to edit the command, event, or title.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1703005440459{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A brief example<\/h2>\n

Suppose you’ve created a button to select a scene in OBS Studio.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]In the JSON of the command, you specify the value “Scene1” for the “sceneName” attribute.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2708″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]If you want to select a different scene with the button, you edit the command in the button and update the value “Scene1” to “Scene2”. From now on, the button calls “Scene2″ in OBS.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2709″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1703005440459{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Create A Swap<\/h3>\n

Let’s use a swap instead of the specific scene value in “sceneName”.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]To do this, first go to the main menu and tap on “Swap tables” once.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2710″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Now tap on the “Globals” entry to display the list of global swap tables.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2711″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Use the plus button at the top right to add a new table.<\/p>\n

Name this table “Scenes”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2712″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Then tap on “Scenes” and create a new entry using the plus button.<\/p>\n

In the “Swap” field, enter the name for the swap as “SceneA”.<\/p>\n

In the “Value” field, enter the value of the swap as “Scene1”.<\/p>\n

Confirm the input with “OK”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2713″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]You can now leave the swap tables using the checkmark at the top right and return to the panel.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1703005440459{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Use The Swap<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Go to the button’s command and change the value of the “inputName” attribute to “\\(SceneA)<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Look at the syntax for using swaps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swaps always start with “\\(<\/strong> “.
\nThen comes the name of the swap, followed by “)<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

If you’ve correctly specified the swap, it will appear in blue font. Complete the input using the checkmark at the top right.[\/vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”far fa-hand-point-up”]\\(SWAP)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This syntax is important. It’s the way swaps are inserted.[\/vc_message][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2714″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]When you tap the button now, the swap will be replaced by the stored value during the execution of the command.<\/p>\n

If you want to change the value, you can do so via the swap table where you saved it.
\nThis can be done through the main menu.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1703005440459{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Advanced Use<\/h3>\n

There are also other interesting ways to change the value of the swap. For example, through another button on the panel.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Create a new button and add a tap command to the button named “Set global swap value”.<\/p>\n

Select your “Scenes” table.<\/p>\n

Then, in the Swap field, enter the name of the swap.[\/vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”far fa-hand-point-up”]Important<\/strong><\/p>\n

The swap is not formatted with “\\( ) ” here.[\/vc_message][vc_column_text]You can also use the button on the far right.<\/p>\n

In the Value field, enter the new value for the swap.[\/vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”far fa-hand-point-up”]You can also use the button on the far right to display an input window for live input of the value.<\/p>\n

Let’s do that.<\/strong>[\/vc_message][vc_column_text]Leave the “Panel check Status” switch turned on.<\/p>\n

Complete the input using the checkmark at the top right.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2724″ img_size=”350×650″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1703005440459{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Test The Swap<\/h3>\n

Go to the live mode and press the button.<\/p>\n

An input window appears, showing you the current value of the swap.<\/p>\n

You can now change this value to “Scene2” and confirm with “OK”.<\/p>\n

Now, when you tap the button, OBS switches to Scene2 instead of Scene1.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1703005440459{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Use Swaps in Titles<\/h3>\n

Now let’s display the scene name in the title of the button.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]To do this, edit the button.
\nEnter “\\(SceneA)” in the title field.
\nComplete the edit using the checkmark.<\/p>\n

Now the scene name will be displayed on the button.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2732″ img_size=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row color=”” message_box_style=”standard” style=”rounded” message_box_color=”success” icon_type=”fontawesome” icon_the7=”” icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-check” icon_monosocial=”vc-mono vc-mono-fivehundredpx” icon_openiconic=”” icon_typicons=”” icon_entypo=”” icon_linecons=”” icon_pixelicons=””][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”far fa-hand-point-up”]This was just an example of how useful the use of swaps can be for you. The possibilities are great, and over time, you’ll surely find many uses for swaps.[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
