I'm having a hard time scripting my scoreboard. I'm trying to make it so when the playclock gets down to 5 and below it will turn the background red. Right now it turns red when it's 5 or 52. It just sees the first digit. How do I modify my code to make it see the correct order of the numbers 5,4,3,2,1?

Here's what I have

dim i = Input.Find("football scoreboard.gtzip")

Do

dim playclock
playclock = i.Text("Playclock.Text")

if playclock <= "5"
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="football scoreboard.gtzip",Value:="#BF0000",SelectedName:="Playclock BG.Text" )
else
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="football scoreboard.gtzip",Value:="#000000",SelectedName:="Playclock BG.Text" )
end if

Sleep(100)
Loop

Thanks for responding. I'm pretty new to scripting but the data from the scoreboard is just a simple count down from 40. Everything works except my script. Can you point me in the right direction as far as the code?

I do not know I have not tried it in vmix but at first glance, try with this code, the quotes in the "5" should be removed and the playclock variable must be of type integer; all this bearing in mind that it is a countdown with format only seconds ss ...... translated from Spanish to English by google translator

dim i = Input.Find("football scoreboard.gtzip")
dim playclock as integer
Do

playclock = i.Text("Playclock.Text")

if playclock <= 5
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="football scoreboard.gtzip",Value:="#BF0000",SelectedName:="Playclock BG.Text" )
else
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="football scoreboard.gtzip",Value:="#000000",SelectedName:="Playclock BG.Text" )
end if
