I built the following "macro" to trigger an animation each time our team scores a 3 pointer. It works perfectly when the scorebar is on fb1, but will not trigger when the scorebar is on fb2. Any suggestions?

Thanks as always

dim scene as xpScene

dim fb as xpOutputFramebuffer

dim scenedir

engine.GetOutputFramebuffer(0, fb)

if fb.GetSceneOnLayer(0, scene) then

if Scene.Name = "ScorebarOT" then

if scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("macu3", scenedir) then

if scenedir.position >= 150 then

scenedir.PlayRange(150, 0)

else

scenedir.PlayRange(0, 150)

end if

end if

end if

end if

Change the GetOutputFramebuffer to "1,fb" instead of 0.

I was sooooo close. Thanks as usual Brian. I changed it to 2 thinking......fb2. Why does it have to be 1?

#XPression

They start counting at 0.. 0 is the first output, 1 is the second, etc..

It's a programmer thing ;)

friggin programmers. I remember we had a computer tech help build an audio snake and he started the numbering at 0. We hated him for that. Thanks Brian. It worked like a charm and now we can charge money every time a three pointer is scored. "Go Jazz"

In the above example, the animation plays but only if the scene is on Layer 0. "if fb.GetSceneOnLayer(0, scene) then". Is there a way to make this animation play on any layer rather than forcing my operator to put the scene on 0?
#XPression

You would need to loop over the layers on the output. This example will check between layer 0 and 10 for the scene called "ScorebarOT".


dim scene as xpScene
dim fb as xpOutputFramebuffer
dim scenedir as xpSceneDirector
dim layer as integer

engine.GetOutputFramebuffer(0, fb)
for layer = 0 to 10
if fb.GetSceneOnLayer(layer, scene) then
if Scene.Name = "ScorebarOT" then
if scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("macu3", scenedir) then
if scenedir.position >= 150 then
scenedir.PlayRange(150, 0)
else
scenedir.PlayRange(0, 150)
end if
end if
end if
end if
next

sounds good, thank you Brian
