    Hi, can I ask for some tips?
    (Problem 1 solved)
    (Problem 2  solved - details a little below)
    Counter scene:
    How can I trigger the addition of a point to the H POINT widget when the green square animation appears (I also want to maintain the possibility of standard widget control). The green square is also animated by the HG IN trigger scene.
     
    Thank you in advance and I am attaching the project.

    Example and solution:

    EDIT: Nevermind, the event marker would not work since your anim does not take the object outside the view. 
    Instead I would sggust a script event in the scene director of the IN anim that increments the widget. 

    Ex. 

    dim Counter as xpCounterWidget

     

    scene.Project.GetObjectByName(“1st quarter sponsor”, Counter)

     

    Counter.Value = Counter.Value + 1


    I would use the event marker object and then put a script into the OnShow tab to increment the widget.

    Thanks for your reply and help, but I'll admit that I haven't worked with scripts until now. I understand the direction, but nothing works for me here.

    I'm like a child in a fog.
