This plugin was originally built for a client wanting a Christian Jackson style live-edited effect engine, back in 2016. Since then, it has found its way into my own file and been customized to how I run my own shows.
Besides installation and uninstallation, this plugin does use Lua live for effect adjustments, including operations like:
Changing the selection order being used with the current fixtures
Adjusting Width and Rate so that your Groups settings do not affect the visual "feel" of the effect
In addition to this, the plugin-based effect engine is able to dynamically alter:
Included fixture groups
Effect Group (Interleave) count
Phase
Width
Direction
Wings
Blocks
Rate

This plugin will take user inputs for groups, color presets, and a few other parameters, and build a dynamic layout for color selection, which triggers executors in the background to which fade and delay timings may be applied. The plugin automatically generates all images, macros, worlds, sequences, and executors needed for this layout to operate. Uninstallation is as simple as running one macro.
