SSL UC1 'Track Follow' in Pro Tools

I don't remember the name of the topic however I copied the script to my 'save for later bucket' since I thought I might need it some day.

I did not write this, nor have I tested it but here it is.

var lastFocusedTrackName;

function main() {
    try {

        var newName = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames[0];
        if (newName === lastFocusedTrackName || newName === undefined) return;

        lastFocusedTrackName = newName;


        const pluginName = 'SSL Native Channel Strip 2';
    


        const group1Visible = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('View', 'Edit Window Views', 'Inserts A-E').isMenuChecked;
        const group2Visible = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('View', 'Edit Window Views', 'Inserts F-J').isMenuChecked;
        const insertButtons = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.invalidate().insertButtons.slice(group1Visible ? 0 : 5, group2Visible ? 10 : 5);

        const eqButton = insertButtons.find(b => b.exists && b.value.invalidate().value.includes(pluginName));
        if (eqButton) {
            eqButton.elementClick();
        }


    } catch (err) {
    }
}



function runForever(name, action, interval, timeout) {
    var now = (new Date).valueOf();
    if (now - globalState[name] < timeout) throw 0; //Exit if we were invoked again inside the timeout

    globalState[name] = now;
    sf.engine.runInBackground(function () {
        try {
            while (true) {
                sf.engine.checkForCancellation();
                globalState[name] = (new Date).valueOf();

                action();

                sf.wait({ intervalMs: interval, executionMode: 'Background' });
            }
        } finally {
            globalState[name] = null;
        }
    });
}

runForever("OpenPluginFollowTrackSelection", main, 500, 5000);

Bests,
