Graphics

In the "Set Datalinq Properties" box there is a macro "@TextObject.Column@". I can't find any documentation on this. What does it do?

Thanks.

Interested in this too! Would love some explanation or example of how this is used.

In our sports show, we need to show the team lineup of many different teams. For that I wanted my Roster Graphic to dynamically change all its information based on the Teamname. I achieved it through the following:

1. In Excel I have created a table which contains all team names in the column headings and in row 1-5 the respective player names.
2. In my Scene I have 1 Text Object called "TeamName" and 5 Text Objects called "Player 1", "Player 2" ... etc.
3. The 5 Player Text Objects are Datalinqed to my Excel Table. Under "Column" the 5 Player Text Objects have the value "@TeamName.Column@". Under "Row" they carry the respective value between 1 and 5.

If I now change the team name, all 5 player names will change accordingly.

Add your Player Portraits as Materials and some Quads with Dynamic Materials linked to the Player Text Objects and you will have a nice Roster Graphic.
