Ok, so here is the thing.

After some time I managed (with doggy's help) to create a volleyball scorebug with codebehind in blend to automatically show an additional Info (setpoint, matchpoint) if the score reaches that stage.

E.g. The code looked up the difference between homescore and awayscore aswell as the sets already won. Then if one team reached 24 with a difference of >1 the additonal info appeared, if the opponent team tied, the additional info disappeared again and so on.

Now I'm wondering if one could do this with GT or if there would be a workaround, using scripting for example but without the need of hitting a shortcut key.

Hope that makes sense and thank you for any suggestions.

Marc

Absolutely!

I would also need something similar for timeouts in football (3 dots per team, make them appear/disappear via shortcuts) or does anyone know a workaround?

AFAIK GT isn't event driven in this way, but the devs might want to weigh in.

One way you could work around this is using an external program to keep your scores in conjunction with GT animations Page functionality. In your external app you'd put the intelligent stuff that would check for your conditions and then make an API call to vmix to activate the relevant page. Goes without saying your score keeper app would need to automatically output changes to an XML file that is added as a datasource in vmix.

Is what we do most of the time. This way you dont have to wonder if possible, you just create it to your liking and need
from reading the status of items in vMix to ending the appropriate instructions using the API. easier on the casual user also
