Triggering an transition in a GT Tile based on a datasource

I am creating a Scoreboard for tennis that will be integrated with an external software which produces stats data about the game such as winners, aces, server errors, and so on. In order to integrate this software with vMIX, I am using a XML file as a datasource. One field in this XML file is named "server_player", that maps which player is the current server (1 - FirstPlayer / 2 - SecongPlayer). In my ScoreBoard, I am using two images to represent an icon beside the player to show who is serving. I created an script that according the "server_player" value, should present only one of both images. So I create the following script: Quote:
dim PLACAR as String = "PLACAR"
Dim xmlFilePath As String = "C:\\score.xml"
While True
sleep(500)
Try
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()
xmlDoc.Load(xmlFilePath)
Dim xpath As String = "/scoreboard_config/server"
Dim xmlNode As XmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(xpath)
If xmlNode IsNot Nothing Then
Dim serverValue As String = xmlNode.InnerText
if serverValue = "1" Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn",Input:=PLACAR , SelectedName:="Player1_Serving.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff",Input:=PLACAR , SelectedName:="Player2_Serving.Source")
Else
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff",Input:=PLACAR, SelectedName:="Player1_Serving.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn",Input:=PLACAR, SelectedName:="Player1_Serving.Source")
End if
Else
'Console.WriteLine("XPath not found in the XML file.")
End If
Catch ex As Exception
' Handle the case where an error occurs
'Console.WriteLine("Error loading or processing XML data: " & ex.Message)
End Try
End While
This script works fine, but images come and go without transitions!!! So I think that it would be better if these images appear and disappear with their related transitions. I searched in the vMIX reference and found the Function "TitleBeginAnimation", and I tried to use it, but with no sucess. In my GT Tile, I already set both transitions for DataChangeIn and DataChangeOut So mye question: is it possible to use this function to trigger these transtions instead of using SetImageVisibleOn and SetImageVisibleOff? Something line API.Function("TitleBeginAnimation", Input:=PLACAR, SelectName=:"Image1", Value := "DataChangeIn")

Setvisibility does what it says , makes visible/invisible nothing more , no animation possible Datachanges respond to changes in data ( text/values) but does not responds to the specific content/value itself of the data you can use titlebeginaniation instead to change/select a page , with pages either showing/hiding an image including animations ( like a fade) when changing between pages
