  • 1.  Push text to on air takeitem

    Posted 09-10-2025 11:48

    So I am looking to make something like a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" ABCD-question with a selected answer and a reveal of the correct answer with visual logic. For that I made two textfields with the data 1-4 which turn quads on or off. Now once the question is on air I'd like to type the numbers 1-4 into the Template Data but for the visual logic to get the text, the new data needs to be pushed to the on-air takeitem. Otherwise if I continue the scenedirector with the reveal it won't show the selected or correct answer. Is there something similar to the "scene.RefreshDynamicMaterials" but for the textobjects on air? I want to avoid using datalinq for this so that I learn something new.

    I think there's an old training video where we make something like this, try maybe 301, one of the advanced training videos.

    I might have been looking in the wrong places but unfortunately I couldn't find the training video. Do you maybe remember the name or something else I could look for?

    It's not exactly what you were after as is much more advanced but it is the format of show you were after.

    So you'd recommend writing a small program with four buttons which change one of the 4 blocks to "selected" and then another 4 buttons which set the true block? I'm very unfamiliar with coding so I was hoping for there to be a onsettext script that updates the text whenever its changed in the template data.
