I have a project that I feel like I am super close on the answer. I have made the problem into a simple project attached below to hopefully lead to some answers.
I have a quad in a scene. That quad will come on the scene in the middle, x space 0. Then I have a widget that is a value of 1 to 5 to represent the 5 potential locations. Position 1 to to the left at X= -400. Position 5 is to the right at X = 400. 2 (-200), 3 (0), 4 (200). You get the gist.
with the object online, the data will return the 1 to 5. I need the object to move in X space equal to the value. - This would be simple if I just wanted the object to jump to that location. But I want the object to "animate" to that local and do a slide over. Hence I have scene directors built for every action. 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 3 to 2, 2 to 1.
I can see my little blue box move in preview, but I do not see it updating on air.
If you look at the project you will see 2 text boxes. One of them is attached to the data. It has the script for on set text. The other text box is getting updated inside of the scene directors. Then the data text is comparing to the other text box to see the value to then know when text is 3 if I want the SD to play 2 to 3 or 4 to 3.
Incase attaching project does not work, here is a box link.
