I am trying to figure out how to do this - I have a countdown clock

I set a trigger - on countdown completion - SET TEXT - of the timer input txtclock to STARTING SOON.

But that doesn't seem to work.

What am I doing wrong?

SO what I think it MIGHT be -

If the countdown is an actual countdown - - like a 5 minute timer - it works.

But if it's set to do something at a certain time - - as in countdown to 9PM.... then the text won't change.

Could it be that the system doesn't realize a timed countdown vs. a countdown timer?

Maybe the emphasis is on "countDOWN" towards 0 and not UP a certain time of day like 9pm ?

While EVERYONE appreciates sarcasm when they are trying to fix something...

if it's counting down to 9PM - they yes- - 9PM is the end of the countdown completing.

Thanks again for the sarcasm -- -I am gathering everyone around the screen to read it - and they all REALLY enjoyed it.

not even meant to be sarcastic !!

rather thinking about the logic of the build in function as to me all my clocks count upwards, the time diference between now and certain time of day does count down.
Programming logic.

That being said - - oncountdown to me meant when the timer is done.

not which direction the timer was going -

and be that as it may -

The question is - can you get it to display a message at a time - - rather than at the end of a countdown timer to a specific timed interval decent.

from the help files:

OnCountdownCompleted (applies to the title input, when a configured countdown clock reaches 0)

- probably with some scripting where one checks if a certain clock time is reached (if else then)

- externaly probably with a autohotkey script that checks the time and send a httprequest to vMix to display the text for example.
