Graphics

During time outs we play various games with fans that are timed. These times are in varying lengths, :24, :30, :60 and so on. Due to an animation we are doing I need to be able to set these clocks using a text radio button. Can the timer widget start value be set using scripting from the text value of this radio button selection? Thx

We have a scene that uses a countdown clock and pulls the time from a hidden text object. Perhaps your radio buttons could update the hidden text object. I have some comments in there that might help.


I have this script in onOnline


dim Clock as xpBaseWidget
Engine.GetWidgetByName("Clock",Clock)

dim CountdownFrom as xpBaseObject
Self.GetObjectByName("CountdownFrom",CountdownFrom)

' CountdownFrom.Text comes in 00:00 format
' Split this into array and set offset of the widget

dim time as string()
time = split(CountdownFrom.Text,":")
Clock.StartAt = "00:" + time(0) + ":" + time(1) + ".0"

' Clock widget must be string in this format: "00:02:00.0"


Regards,
Mike

Are you placing this script in the root of the scene or on a text object? So far, no success.

Mike, thanks I got it working. I had to fiddle with the offset. However this screws up my visual logic which basically turns a digital count into an analog sweep hand. Nice piece of work though. I will keep working on it.
