Graphics

We have several "Billboards" that we play during games that feature sponsorship elements and voiceovers. Sometimes these billboards are back to back. Up until now I would build the back to back billboards in one scene but this limits our flexibility. Using transition logic I have set up all our full screens so that all graphics are built on a single scene "SPONSOR FS" with a selector that sets the correct sponsor logo over our BG. I want to do the same with our billboards and this would include setting the "xpAudioFIle" object. Using if loops I was planning on something like:

if index = "Ford" then

'get the billboard audio object

'set this object with the corresponding audio file "BB_Ford"

Has anyone had any success setting this sort of thing up?

Thanks in advance

looking through the SDK help file I have found "xpSceneDirectorClip" object that I think might be the way to go. Rather than replace the audio file, I can just select the appropriate Audio clip, or so I think.

Hi Malcolm

If you have a fixed set of audio files, and know they don't need to change regularly (ie have a different filename), then I'd:

• Make audio file clips for each one in the layout editor
• Add each audio clip onto it's own audio track in your scene director
• Then depending on which billboard you want, have a For Next loop that disables each audio track in the scene director, except for the one you want.  I'm assuming you only have a handful of different audio clips, not hundreds!

If I've understood the problem correctly!

Simon, that's an interesting way to come at it. KISS "Keep it simple, stupid". Thank you very much.

Simon, this works until I set up Transition Logic, then it looks like it breaks my if else loops and all clips roll. But I have made more progress today than in the last month
