Graphics

Hey everyone! I'm a student at Ryerson University and we built our sports broadcasts packs out of xpression. We're looking to take our scorebug to the next step and animate when the score changes? What's the easiest way to do this?

We use visual logic to monitor the data coming in. I've noticed that ESPN does their scoring changes by rotating the numbers. Pretty fancy, but we haven't figured out how to do that yet. Visual logic is fairly simple to learn, it's just wrapping your mind around all the animated elements in a scene that sometimes boggles our students' minds.

Good luck!

See this post from before -- Brian made an example for it:

Hi Les,

Unfortunately his file is no longer valid. Can it be reuploaded? Thanks

Brian Will have to upload it as I don't have the original

Have you ever seen this accomplished with visual logic and datalinq? Our scorebug is datalinq'd and I'm looking to update the score everytime there's a 3ptr.

Did you ever get this working? I have a few animations that I have used for scorebugs. Let me know. As far as 3ptr. I built an animation that is triggered with a keystroke F8 so the operator triggers it rather than doing all the math and logic.

I did get it working! We didn't want to use a keyboard shortcut because our clock data is fed in from a daks scoreboard, so the code I plugged in works better!
