I just did something like this. It's pretty easy. First, create Animation Controllers for each object you want to move. For simplicity, give them the same name as the group object you want to move. Each Animation Controller has 2 keyframes - one at the start and one at the end. You will also need text objects for each group that has the Datalinq on it for the position. Then, when the text changes (OnSetText), call this global sub:
' Pos is the ordinal position of the item (1,2,3, etc)
' group is the object to move
Sub MoveRunnerTo(pos As String, group As xpBaseObject, scene As xpScene)
' No data?
If pos = "" Then
group.Visible = False
Else
' Calculate where it should move to. Change -47 to whatever your size is
Dim posY As Double = (CInt(pos) - 1) * -47
If posY <> group.PosY Then
Dim anim As xpAnimController = Nothing
' The anim controller's name is the same as the group
scene.GetAnimControllerByName(group.Name, anim)
anim.Stop()
' Set first keyframe to current position
anim.SetKeyFrameValue(group, 0, "Position.Y", group.PosY)
anim.Position = 0
' Set last keyframe to desired position (my controller length is 15 frames)
anim.SetKeyFrameValue(group, 15, "Position.Y", posY)
' Run the animation
anim.Play()
End If
group.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
The script sets the 2 keyframes and runs the animation.

Correct you need at Developer or Studio to compile scripts.

Downloaded the file, but somehow I can't compile any of the scripts. Could this be because I'm just on a designer licence right now?

Thanks for taking the time reading,

If you check this thread;
https://rossvideo.community/discussion/racing-results-leaderboard-animations#bmd7a974c3-eb80-40c3-8481-75e853eeb6e0
And download Roman's project testt.xpp it has what you need just connect the "Pos_0/1/2/3" etc to your data for each position and you'll see it will work when you change the data.
If you don't have data to test with you can use widgets.

The OG poster asked for it to be animated between positions, this will just jump positions.

group folder has the data for the first line i.e first name last name text if they are two separate objects...etc
and the points is just the text.
and of course the y position for all the lines.
makes sense?
good luck

Hey hey,
I was wondering if anyone here knows what it would take to create a scoreboard where the standings move depending on what the data changed to. So for example I have a excel sheet with points assinged to different teams, the table sorts itself automatically depending on what team has the most points. I would like the graphics to represent that but rather have the new order just pop into existence I'd like for the teams to actually move/animate into the new position. So basically imagine the Formula1 sidebar with the positions of the cars on the track and one of the drivers gets overtaken. The new order doesn't just plopp in, but the positions actually swap.

Also handy to know that while I'm doing rather ok with VL, I have very little experience with VB.
