  • 1.  How to publish a Datalink Key to Dashboard

    Posted 05-12-2016 10:02
    Hi guys. Thois is KaÁ¯s from Paris.
    First of all, thank you so much for this valuable and helpful forum.

    I have two Excel sheets with my players names datalinked to Xpression. On my subs scene, I have two Datalink Keys (one for the on player and the other one for the off player).
    Everything works great so far.

    I need to handle my subs through Dashboard as well: having two fields and a take button (easy part) but I must be able to overwrite the Datalink key (complicated part).

    So, the one million dollar question is ; is it possible to publish a Datalink key?

    Any ideas?

    I dont think you can do that directly, but you can publish a hidden text object from the scene to dashboard (via the dashboard datalinq), then have an OnSetText script on that hidden text object that copies its value into the datalinq key.

    I'm not that much into scripting...
    What would that look like (on Xpression side) ? I can't find the Datalink parameter.
