Hmmm... when I t did it, I ended up with a value that included decimal places. That's not what I needed there... #XPression

A question: Round - WTF is it rounding to? The value I see coming out is the same value that went in. There doesn't seem to be any way to control the precision one is rounding to. Also: INT and CINT functions would be very useful. Sometimes, you need an integer. And, while I'm on ...

Bleh. Now that I think of it, it's NOT easier. I do a couple of range and scaling calculations to move the slider position, and I'd have to undo all of that to get back the values for the text field. Maybe works, maybe not. #XPression

Brian, yeah, that could be done, and I guess it would work. OTOH, being able to use Text as one of the accessible parameters in an Animation Controller would be more direct. The difference, I guess, would be dynamically setting text based on the position of another element, vs. pre-calculating those ...

I did something similar to that, actually. When OnSetText was raised a field I put on the scene (and made invisible), I took both the Self.Text and Text (argument) values, calculated the difference, then made 30 _Global.Value variables, each of which contained a value of x* (Text - Self.Text)/30, where ...

Yeah, I know. It's something that might need another Scene Director if, for instance, you wanted to update fields on an event, but "animate" the update. Say, for example, you want to transition between to numeric values that are poll updates, but you want to display intermediate values when transitioning. ...

Can we set the text in a text object via an Animation controller? Now, here's a feature that could be useful...

OK, that gives me a better clue as to what's going on. I think I can deal with what I have. In fact, what I know now looks to be some good info. What I'm trying to do is this: We will have data coming in on an RSS feed, and it'll be updated about every second. When that happens, the new ...

Umm... ok, after some more extended testing, I'm finding that there IS an event being raised, but... The text value that I'm getting from the object is the text that USED to be there, not the text that has been set. Previous tests involved one try, and, upon not seeing any change, I assumed ...

I have it in a datalinq source, and changing the value in the source is not raising the event, as far as I can tell. Nothing I put in the OnSetText event happens unless I reload the scene. #XPression

I see this event come up in the script editor for a Text Object, but it only seems to be raised when the scene is loaded. Is there a way I can get an event raised whenever the text in an xpTextObject is changed? This would be really useful.

So far, Visual Logic appears to be broken in 5.9. Tried it in two builds, 3110 and 3130. Not getting anything to work.

Your 5.7 build may be more recent than mine.I see it in 5.9_3110, but not in 5.7_3020. Also, in my 5.7, "String Value" is simply "String." 5.9 looks like the screen shot you have here. #XPression

OK, so I used X-scale instead of Height, and I divided by 100 to get the percentage, and it works great. Thanks, Brian, this is some good stuff. What I'd like to see is perhaps some more string functions, or a bit more clarity in documentation. Maybe a string Length function would be helpful, ...

Thanks, that's good to know. Is there some documentation on Visual Logic? There may well be other stuff that would be great to know going in... Also, playing around a bit, how do I remove that percent sign? I don't necessarily know the character count of the string going in, and a Left String ...

Is there a way to do a VAL() on text in a field, so that, if the text represents a numeric value, that value can be extracted and applied to another property someplace? For example, say I have a field that displays a percentage, and I want to use that value to scale a bar (as in a graph). Can I do thins ...
