Graphics

I'm building a scoreboard, and I have 2 quads that sits behind my text layers, one for each line. I am wanting the quads to be visible only for the winning team. My 5 text layers are Top Team, Bottom Team, Top Score, Bottom Score and Game Status. Does anyone know how to script it to say if game status is final, compare top score and bottom score, and change visibility to true for the line with the higher score? Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

Take a look at this sample. Edit the values from the sequencer to observe the automation behavior.

The script is in OnOnline and OnPreviewRender (the same script should be in both places, otherwise you won't see the effects when you generate a preview).

I unfortunately don't have time to check the link Brian provided, but we have this setup at WREX. Basically, I determined what we would use to denote a game as being "final," and we settled on "F." This is important to do, because in the script I'm about to provide, if something is listed as being in the "fourth" instead of the "4th," it can cause it to misbehave.

So if "F" is entered, the game is over. Here's the script:

dim Toptext as xpTextObject

dim Bottomtext as xpTextObject

dim Topinteger as Integer

dim Bottominteger as Integer

dim status as xpTextObject

dim Topwinner as xpBaseObject

dim Bottomwinner as xpBaseObject

Self.GetObjectByName("Top Score", Toptext)

Self.GetObjectByName(Bottom Score", Bottomtext)

Topinteger=Cint(Toptext.Text)

Bototminteger=Cint(Bototmtext.Text)

Self.GetObjectByName("Game Status", status)

Self.GetObjectByName("Top Winner Quad", Topwinner)

Self.GetObjectByName("Bottom Winner Quad", Bottomwinner)

if InStr(status.Text, "F") = 1 and Topinteger > Bottominteger then

Topwinner.Visible = True

Bottomwinner.Visible = False

elseif InStr(status.Text, "F") = 1 and Bottominteger > Topinteger then

Bottomwinner.Visible = True

Topwinner.Visible = False

else

Topwinner.Visible = False

Bottomwinner.Visible = False

end if

That was done rough and off the top of my head, so take it with a grain of salt, but the idea is in there.
