  • 1.  Visual Logic for Fullscreen templates

    Posted 08-05-2019 13:54

    I am trying to create 1 fullscreen template to use for all fullscreens in our shows from 2 lines to 6 lines.  I want them to space out evenly according to the amount of lines.  I'm trying to use visual logic and value #'s for each line.  I just can't seem to piece it together for some reason.  Does anyone know the correct way to do this?  (example attached)

    Hey Mark, 

     

      This is something I do all the time.  I have included a screen shot of a VL Tree I built yesterday in fact for this very purpose (although this particular template maxes at 4 lines, but the concept is the same regardless).

       What I have is a text object which drives the number of lines visible.  I have the options for the range of lines published as radio buttons.  

      The value of this text then determines through 'Equal to' nodes which lines are visible, and through input selectors what the Y position is for the rows of text.  

       The example I have provided has highlight states too, as well as 3 columns of information, so your setup would be a bit simpler, but the exact same implementation would work.

       What I do to set this up is bring in my text object (Rows?) and create my visibility toggles and input selectors with values attached to them, but to do not connect the Y position yet.  Then I will go down through the numbers to toggle off rows one at a time, position the first and lat line where I want them on Y, and use the vertical distribution tool to evenly space the rows between, and enter the Y values in the corresponding value nodes connected to the input selectors.  Once you have gone through the range, connect that Y position up, and viola!

       Hope this helps, 

          - Willie

    Thank you for your help.  I completely understand the logic involved in this example, but I am having trouble with the visibility of the rows (or as I have them "Bullet Groups".  Can you show me an example of how to add visibility to a 6 row page?

    Thank you as well for your help.  This works great!  I would like to manually set the Y axis for the rows.  When using this logic it's a little tricky when I have a full screen with only 3 rows.  I will put this to use in other full screens though when possible.  Thank you again.

    Sure thing Mark.  Using the same published text field as the row spacing example above, here is one way to set  up the visibility toggles:

    This works great!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I am going to apply this to all full screens and will eliminate so many scenes in my projects.

    So I have an additional question for this Visual Logic.  What I would now like to do is add another condition.  Is it possible to maintain even spacing between rows even if one or more of the bullet points have 2 or 3 lines of text?
