Hi folks!

I'm after a way to start one of 5 Scene Directors on scene online.
I've come so far as to figure out this would have to be a scripted event on onOnline part of the scene.
The reason I want it to be random is because I want the content on the scene itself (it's a LED board controlled with Tessera) to play randomly.
It will be just a small ad thingy for different snacks etc to buy at the game, but it's part of a larger playlist/group on those banners, meaning I have to have ONE scene, but that one scene should alternate (or possibly show the same thing) each time it comes "online".

I have little to no experience in Visual Basic, so I'm kinda stuck not really sure how to "attack" it.

Hi again

Figured I'd share how I ended up doing this.

'Get random number as Variable
Dim MyValue As Integer
MyValue = Int((2 * Rnd) + 1)

'Define objects to be used
Dim Quad As xpQuadObject
Dim Mat1, Mat2 As xpMaterial

Self.GetObjectByName("VidQuad",Quad)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Kiosk1",Mat1)
Engine.GetMaterialByName("Kiosk2",Mat2)

'Check Rand Int and run Corresponding SceneDir
If MyValue = "1" Then
Quad.SetMaterial(0,Mat1)
End If
If MyValue = "2" Then
Quad.SetMaterial(0,Mat2)
End If

Ended up with a little different sollution than my original plan.
I ended up creating 2 (or more) different video commercials to run on our LED boards instead, and gave them each their own material.

And everytime this scene is online, it will get a random number, and apply a different video material on it based on the result.
This in turn will run, and then continue on to the next scene in the group in the sequencer when done.
