I'm building out a show and I have shortcuts for the operator to easily add one goal for either team using a +=1

But struggling a bit figuring out a simple way to do a shootout score (example: "2(5)"). I tried building an array of all the possible scores to use as a data source, but it looks like I can't select a new column, only a row. I'm sure someone here must have solved this already?

Thanks in advance!

if understood correctly
want to change the 2 but display it as 2(5) ?
- if using the combinations from a daat source put them in a column instead of rows ?
- use a hidden text field in your title and put the individual score there with your +=1 , let a small script read that and format that into a 2(5) string to be put in the visible textfield

I've tried a few different ways. The score is just an integer 1, 2, 3, etc unless it goes to a penalty shootout, then it would become 3(0), 3(1), 3(2), etc.

I wasn't aware that you could read the contents of a text field. I tried using that knowledge to write this little script that would take the score from the text field and use that to jump to the correct row in a data source (from there, the operator could just hit a "NextRow" shortcut. But there's something wrong with my syntax and my eyes are getting blurry.

Code:
'Read current home score from title and define variable
dim stringVal as string =  Input.Find("fifascore.gtzip").Text("HomeScore.Text") 

dim decimalVar as decimal = Decimal.Parse(stringVal)

dim newRow as decimal = 16*decimalVar

'Select a new starting row in the data source
API.Function("DataSourceSelectRow",value:="HomeShootout","Shooutout_Score",newRow)

no need for data source etc

as mentioned make some text fields invisible in the title say one for the goals and one for the shootouts: goals(shootout)

call each of the functions with a shortcut , one to update the score and one to update the shootout

per team
Code:
one for the score update
Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("goal.Text")+=1   'invisible
Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("Score.Text") = Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("goal.Text") & "("& Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("shootout.Text") &  ")"


'and óne for the shootout 
Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("shootout.Text")+=1   'invisible
Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("Score.Text") = Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("goal.Text") & "(" & Input.Find("shootout.gtzip").Text("shootout.Text") &  ")"


score here is displayed as a(b)

or put them into a ScriptStartDynamic shortcut directly

Oh my gosh THANK YOU so much! I never would have come up with this on my own.
