  • 1.  Changing Timer Value through ENPS

    Posted 05-01-2017 20:17
    I'm hoping to be able to have a Producer change a Countdown Timer value through ENPS Xpression MOS. Right now I have individual Scenes to trigger a 2:00 countdown, a 1:00 countdown etc., but I'm wondering if the Timer Widget Value can be changed in ENPS. Thanks!

    You could build both timers into one scene and then use visual logic to flip the visibility of the text objects they are tied to via a hidden combo box text object that would be available to the producer in the MOS plugin.

    I'm not sure how to get the visual logic to choose which radio button I want to associate with each timer's visibility. Fairly new working with Xpression.

    Thanks! I think I have it working through scripting. Is there any way to drag a Timer Widget into a Scene Director Timeline so I can add a Pause to the Timer until we're ready to start it? We don't have an Xpression Operator during our Live Broadcasts so we just have a small keypad attached to Sequencer that the Director plays all our scenes out of.

    Hey, you have a couple of options, you could set the start to a keyboard press such as ctrl+1, that's a setting in the widget controls.

    Alternatively, you could build your timers in Visual logic instead, you get the same controls and the widget in the timer block you just need to output that to a text block that is set to static rather than selecting widget as the input. "‹

    Hey, here's the rest of the logic if you wanted it.



    And here's my combobox settings

    Thank you so much! Since we don't have an actual keyboard for playback, the other option for creating clocks through Visual Logic is what I'll try.

    Redmile, this works perfectly, especially without having an Xpression operator for Live broadcasts. I've got 8 different length countdown clocks in one scene, each dissolves out right after it hits 0:00. Thanks again
