Graphics

Hello, I'm trying to change a scene's materials based on another scene that is already online. I've got some of it working but not all of it. Here's what I've got so far. Any help would be appreciated.

dim fb as xpOutputFramebuffer

dim mainl3 as xpScene

dim bar as xpBaseObject

dim sep as xpBaseObject

dim flag as xpBaseObject

dim redborder as xpMaterial

dim blueborder as xpMaterial

dim redsep as xpMaterial

dim bluesep as xpMaterial

dim redflag as xpMaterial

dim blueflag as xpMaterial

'Get Objects in Scene'
Self.GetObjectByName("Bar",bar)
Self.GetObjectByName("Seperator",sep)
Self.GetObjectByName("Flag",flag)

'Get Materials'
Engine.GetMaterialByName("New Subtext Lower Third Longer_Image",blueborder)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Section Seperator_Image",bluesep)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("FlagBG_Image",blueflag)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Breaking Subtext L",redborder)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Section Seperator_Image1",redsep)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Breaking Flag",redflag)


Engine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0, fb)
fb.GetSceneOnLayer(-2, mainl3)
if mainl3.Name="2020 Breaking News Lower Thirds"then

bar.SetMaterial(0, redborder)
sep.SetMaterial(0, redsep)
flag.SetMaterial(0, redflag)

else if mainl3.Name="2020 Main Lower Thirds"then
bar.SetMaterial(0, blueborder)
sep.SetMaterial(0, bluesep)
flag.SetMaterial(0, blueflag)

end if

Hey I figured it out on my own.

I'm gonna post my final code here just in case someone else has a similar project. I added a couple strings to help prevent myself from creating typos. I also had an unnecessary space in my elseif statement. I'm pretty new to scripting in Xpression, so I hope my code doesn't look like total trash to people who have been doing it for a long time lol

dim fb as xpOutputFramebuffer

dim mainl3 as xpScene

dim bar,sep,flag as xpBaseObject

dim redborder,blueborder,redsep,bluesep,redflag,blueflag as xpMaterial

dim Breaking as String
Breaking="2020 Breaking Main Lower Thirds"

dim NormalL3 as String
NormalL3="2020 Main Lower Thirds"


'Get Objects in Scene'
Self.GetObjectByName("Bar",bar)
Self.GetObjectByName("Seperator",sep)
Self.GetObjectByName("Flag",flag)
Self.GetObjectByName("Text1",MainText)

'Get Materials'

Engine.GetMaterialByName("Section Seperator_Image1",redsep)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Breaking Flag",redflag)

Engine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0, fb)
fb.GetSceneOnLayer(-2, mainl3)

if mainl3.Name = Breaking then

bar.SetMaterial(0,redborder)
sep.SetMaterial(0,redsep)
flag.SetMaterial(0,redflag)

elseif mainl3.Name = NormalL3 then

bar.SetMaterial(0,blueborder)
sep.SetMaterial(0,bluesep)
flag.SetMaterial(0,blueflag)

end if
