Hi!

I'm trying to build a chess evaluation bar that updates based on new values from a datalinq.
I have a script that works to set the right keyframes as the scene is taken online, but I'm at a loss for how to script live updates.
I tried to put it the script on the text object recieving the value at the OnSetText, but understand that that wil only run before the new value is set.

I have this script on the text object datalinqed to the desired end value:

dim arrow as xpBaseObject
dim ValueOld as xpTextObject
dim ValueNew as xpTextObject
dim MoveArrow as xpAnimController

Scene.GetObjectByName("White Bar M2", arrow)

Scene.GetObjectByName("M2VOld", ValueOld)
Scene.GetObjectByName("M2VNew", ValueNew)

Scene.GetAnimControllerByName("MoveBarM2", MoveArrow)

MoveArrow.SetKeyFrameValueTCB(arrow, 0,"Scale.X",(ValueOld.text),0.9,-15.0,-0.950)
MoveArrow.SetKeyFrameValueTCB(arrow, 23,"Scale.X",(ValueNew.text),0.9,-15.0,-0.950)

dim MoveBar as xpSceneDirector

Scene.GetSceneDirectorByName ("MoveBarM2", MoveBar)

MoveBar.Play

Where do I put the script to trigger the animation each time there is an new value from the datalinq? It pulls every 960 ms, so it shouldn't get a new value before the animation is done.

Maybe there is a much simpler way to do this?
Do I need to take the datalinqed values and put into another text object or could I just use the input texts as the values called upon by the script?
We have had a version where visual logic triggers the SceneDirector, but it would freeze after being on air for some time, so trying to both do a cleanup (there's a new design style) and simplify the scene. We will have a total of 3 bars on the same scene going simultaneously.

Is there a command to run the script when a new value is input?

I have attached a project with this scene, if anyone is able to give some insights I would be very grateful.

I finally downloaded your project and am digging in. Frankly I am lost. Ultimately what do you want it to do? I think you might have conflicting scripts working against each other but I don't really know yet.

The first thing that I found is you have a text object "M2 Animation Vlaue Old" that is called in one of your scripts as "M2 Animation Value Old" . I will keep looking.
