Hello everybody. I've gotten to the point where (I believe) I need to start dabbling into vMix scripting. I have an image input of an arrow. I need that arrow to change rotation based off of a value being delivered in a data source column. What is the most simple way to set an input layer's rotation to the value being reported in the data source, without manually triggering this action (ie: automatically updating without button press, preview, or overlay trigger, etc)...?

Kind of hard to do if there is no function available to rotate
Also no possibility with a GT title
Probably possible with XAML title with codebehind
If not to many angles needed multiple images(of different angle) might be a way to go

a lot of work but a possible solution if you are familiar with after effects or similar software:
1. Make a 60 seconds video of the rotating arrow
2. set the angle using a script to Jump to the timestamp and Pause the video.

arrow up = Jump to 0 sec and Pause
arrow down 30 sec, arrow right 15 sec…

If I'm correct, a script cannot access datasource entries directly. So you have to use a title input as a cache.

Per vMix support, "Currently, this is not possible. There are no shortcuts for adjusting the rotation of inputs or layers. We would recommend that you post a feature request (or find a similar request and add your support)." :( ...off to the feature requests...
