Graphics

Hello everyone, just looking to get some hints and recommendations from people who have built out some sports graphics packages before. 

I am building out a basic Lacrosse graphics package to give my students a starting point to work with. We have Daktronics for our scoreboard. 

I was curious to see how people handle powerplay graphics in Hockey/Lacrosse. Do you have it built into the scene with visual logic to appear whenever penalty time gets added? Is it its own item? 

When you have multiple power plays what logic do you use to have a clock for when its 5 on 3 or 2 Men Up to take that clock and then change over to 5 on 4 or one man up. 

Lastly, if anyone has any insight on what terminology they use for NCAA lacrosse penalties that would be greatly appreciated. I know PLL and NLL use power play but it seems like NCAA uses Man up or Woman Up? I like power play way better but I wasn't sure if there was any hard and fast rules with that. 

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hey I have seen both solutions. 

If you want to press a button then probably better that its its own scene.

If you want it to appear automatically its petty if its in the already online scene.

Regarding terminology, I am actually not sure if its set or personal preference, you may need to check with the league on that.

Thank you for the information Simon! 

I am working on building out the clock logic now but have been running into some issues. It seems like visual logic does not like passing timer data from daktronics through. It's in a weird space where its not quite a string but not quite a number either. Do you know of any solutions for how to convert the clock from daktronics into a value using visual logic?

Do the datalinq into a text object rather than using a VL block and then take the text property from the text object, that will be a string.

I think I have it backwards. I am trying to use VL to do a few things;

1. see if there are any penalty times, if there are one say man up, if there are two say two men up, if there are none, say nothing. 
2. if there are two clocks, show the clock with the least amount of time. 

When I add the clocks in VL either as a datalinq block or as a text object, the selectors either don't see any values or they don't see the value as a number. I tried using some of the timer blocks but they don't seem to see the info as time either. Any recommendations or am I as far as VL will take me?

Can you show me your visual logic as a screen shot?
