Graphics

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to achieve this: I have a number that is controlled with a counter widget (It's a score graphic) What I'd like to do is when the number is changed, there would be a little animation where the number would "flip" to the next value. I think I have the logic figured out, but I'm terrible at this coding stuff.

I've got the animation controller set up, and a secondary text object called "Text 2". In the animation controller, we see "text 2" first, and then it flips to the new value. Here's what I think needs to happen:

On SetText (text object connected to widget):

Set "Text 2" to (self - 1)

play animation controller "flip"

Am I on the right track with this logic? What is the code to set the text value of another text object? Is this the best way to achieve what I've Described?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Search for the thread "scoreboard update animation".. I posted a sample a while ago..

Thanks Brian,

I was able to find your project,and it helped a lot. I just have one modification I was hoping you could help me with.

How do I make it so if there is another scene online in the sequencer (say Take ID#002 for example) it would play a different animation controller?

dim score1B as xpTextObject

dim acLong as xpAnimController

dim acShort as xpAnimController

dim ex as xpTakeItem

scene.GetObjectByName("Score1B", score1B)

scene.GetAnimControllerByName("ScoreChange1", acShort)

scene.GetAnimControllerByName("ScoreChange2", acLong)

engine.Sequencer.GetTakeItemByID(002, ex) // ???

score1B.text = self.text

if ex.online = true then

acLong.PlayRange(0, 100)

else

acShort.PlayRange(0, 10)

end if



This code doesn't work but I hope you can see the logic of what I'm trying to accomplish: Basically there is a little "Goal" animation that can play on another layer when a goal is scored, so I'd like to delay the number flip until the end of that animation. But if they are just changing numbers, I don't want any delay. Hope that makes sense..

Thanks again

Your code looks good except for the `if ex.online` part..

Try `if ex.IsOnline` instead..
