Hi guys!

I have a text field of a number. I use Text value +=1 or -=1 to increase/decrease it by 1 with a shortkey. It's ok.

But I also have a field with other symbols, i.e.: +4' ("plus" "4" and "apostrophe"). I need also to increase/decrease number 4 by 1. Any ideas how to make it?

P.S. Searched forum but didn't find it. Thanks!

Probably the easiest is to change the value with your shortcut as ususal but to a hidden title text
then have a script read that value and send it as a formated text back to your title (call script with same shortcut as the one for the value change)

Something like when your title is input 1 and the Headline.Text is the one your shortcut is updating the number
Code:
Dim number = Input.Find(1).Text("Headline.Text")
dim FullText as string = String.Format("Text is +{0}' ", number)
API.Function("SetText",Input:=1,SelectedName:="Description.Text" ,Value:= FullText)

I tried it and notice that the code work both. If it goes up or down it depends on how you setup the shortcut in vmix. So if we do a shortcut +=1 will go up and another shortcut -=1 it will go down.

@nikosman88, I believe he means the sign displayed

easy (simplest way), duplicate the script and replace the + with a - and call that script when you do a -=1

Could do some testing within the script for that too but then again would have to change it again when another wish is made ;-)

Hm, it works only for +1 shorcut. When I press -1 shortcut my Injury mins.Text field looks like this: =-1

No. Text (+ ') remains the same. Only number should change +1 or -1 every time I press corresponding shorcut. It's for football injury time adjusting.

Here is my script.

Code:
Dim number = Input.Find(2).Text("Description.Text")
dim FullText as string = String.Format("+{0}'", number)
API.Function("SetText",Input:=2,SelectedName:="Injury mins.Text" ,Value:=FullText)
