Graphics

I'm in the process of making a game that has an animation that goes up on a right answer and goes down on a wrong answer and I would like to trigger the animations using a score counter widget.  I can make it advance but I don't know how to differentiated the increase/decrease value so I can get it to run the down animations. If it's possible to do it all in Visual logic that would be cool but I was unable to find a visual logic objects that does what I was looking for so I'd understand if I need to run actual scripts. any help is greatly appreciated.  

You'll need old number, new number and then calculate the delta. 

You should connect your widget counter to the text object called new number and place this script OnSetText. 

dim old, delta as xpTextObject

scene.GetObjectByName("oldValue", old)
scene.GetObjectByName("deltaValue", delta)

delta.Text = text - old.Text

dim up, down as xpBaseObject

scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("upArrow", up)
scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("downArrow", down)

if delta.Text > 0
up.play

up.autostop = true

else
down.play

down.autostop = true

end if

old.Text = text
