I have a GT Designer graphic Title with a couple of elements "hidden" to start out. At some point I want to unveil them. I am struggling trying to ascertain the correct syntax of the API script.

I am thinking it should be:

http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=SetImageVisible&Value=1ytvscorebug1.gtzip&Image=HomeP2.Source


where the scorebug is the GT graphic and HomeP2.Source is the element I wish to unveil

Currently vMix displays whichever element is first in the list of hidden elements in the Title.

Looking for the correct syntax of this shortcut

I use a small, full transparent picture as source and load the „visible“ on demand.

SetImageVisible is a function listed in the shortcuts for Titles. When designing the Title graphic I make this element "Show Visble Toggle" in the data tab. You can then use this shortcut to make it visible.

My issue I can't make it work ( I don't know the syntax) for the API script. It works in Web Controller but I cant find the right combination in the API script.

Am I just stupid?


I'm trying to use the function in a script like this

If Input.Find("ScoreBoardTop.gtxml").text("PeneltyH2.Text") = "" Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff","ScoreBoardTop.gtxml","HP2.Source")
Else
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn","ScoreBoardTop.gtxml","HP2.Source")
End If

I just want the image to be visible if there is a value in PeneltyH2.Text.

Whatever i do it just selects the first image i the title.

Any suggestions?

For anybody else that stumbles across this thread as I did...


Here is a reliable way to toggle visibility on and off:

If (String.Equals(atBat, homeTeam)) Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff",Input:="Scorebug",SelectedName:="Top-Inning.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn",Input:="Scorebug",SelectedName:="Bottom-Inning.Source")
Console.WriteLine("Home Team at bat")
else
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff",Input:="Scorebug",SelectedName:="Bottom-Inning.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn",Input:="Scorebug",SelectedName:="Top-Inning.Source")
Console.WriteLine("Away Team at bat")
End If



And here is an incorrect way that intermittently works:


If (String.Equals(atBat, homeTeam)) Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff","Scorebug","Top-Inning.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn","Scorebug","Bottom-Inning.Source")
Console.WriteLine("Home Team at bat")
else
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff","Scorebug","Bottom-Inning.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn","Scorebug","Top-Inning.Source")
Console.WriteLine("Away Team at bat")
End If

Question and was trying to do the same type of thing...

I have a text field with a number in it and depending on that number (1-8) I want 8 buttons to either be on/off using SetImageVisible.

I have this script but it doesn't seem to do anything and wondering if someone can help. Basically if it finds the text field with 6, then buttons 1-6 are on and 7-8 are off. Scorebug is the template. RedRocks.text is the text field with the number and button1.Source is the image. I would continue this for "1" through "8" with each having the End If. I only put the first 3 sections on here but you get the idea.

If Input.Find("scorebug.gtzip").Text("RedRocks.Text") = "8" Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button1.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button2.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button3.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button4.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button5.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button6.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button7.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button8.Source")
End If

If Input.Find("scorebug.gtzip").Text("RedRocks.Text") = "7" Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button1.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button2.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button3.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button4.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button5.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button6.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button7.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff", "scorebug.gtzip","button8.Source")
End If

If Input.Find("scorebug.gtzip").Text("RedRocks.Text") = "6" Then
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button1.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button2.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button3.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button4.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button5.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn", "scorebug.gtzip","button6.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff", "scorebug.gtzip","button7.Source")
API.Function("SetImageVisibleOff", "scorebug.gtzip","button8.Source")
End If

...............


Maybe have a browse through the "Scripting for dummies" post
It cant work if the functiosn are not correctly written

API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn",Input:="scorebug.gtzip",SelectedName:="button1.Source")

Also streamline your code with a smal for x to count found loops (less code)

Duh, sorry copied wrong script. Yes, you're right with the Input and Selected name. Pretty new to the scripting and trying to make it all work.

Do I have the IF/Then line right? I want to pull a value from a text box and whatever that value is, then apply the correct amount of visible buttons. Actually, could I pull that value right from the API?

I've been through the scripting for dummies section and maybe I'm just missing it?

kiss

Code:
dim x as integer
dim count as string = Input.Find("scorebug.gtzip").Text("RedRocks.Text")

For x = 1 to Convert.toInt32(count)
  API.Function("SetImageVisibleOn",Input:="scorebug.gtzip",SelectedName:="button" & x &".Source")
next
