Hey there,

I use vMix for a few years but i never use any Script, i don't know how to code and i already tried to use ChatGPT but i cant get the result i want. I need a script for a Padel/Tenis scoreboard that when the "game" numbers are the same, like 40-40, the text color need to change to yellow.

I got a title called "game.gtzip" and in that title there are two text fields "pointhome.Text" and "pointaway.Text", what i need is when both text field got the same number 40 - 40 the text color turn to Yellow to show the user that it is a "Gold Point".

I've been trying this for a few days... can somebody help me please?

Thanks.

Have you searched this forum ? There are mulitple posts on text and color manipulations and also a thread regarding scripting called "scripting for dummies" containing mulotple examples

Basically you have to compare the content of the 2 textfields and if they are equal (vb.net logic) change the color for the text (Shortcut functions are the same as being used withina a script) .
There is a full reference list within the vMix helpfiles for all possible functions/shortcuts

Thanks, i already searched on that topics, but the close i can go is change the color of each individual text, like if the first title reach 40 it changes the color to yellow, but i cant get it change when both got the number "40"

Try this
Code:

Do while true
    Dim doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
    doc.LoadXml(API.XML())

    Dim homePoints As String = doc.SelectSingleNode("//input[@title='game.gtzip']//text[@name='pointhome.Text']").InnerText
    Dim awayPoints As String = doc.SelectSingleNode("//input[@title='game.gtzip']//text[@name='pointaway.Text']").InnerText


    If homePoints = "40" And awayPoints = "40" Then
        API.Function("SetTextColour", Input:="game.gtzip", SelectedName:="pointhome.Text", Value:="#FFFF00")
        API.Function("SetTextColour", Input:="game.gtzip", SelectedName:="pointaway.Text", Value:="#FFFF00")
    Else
        
        API.Function("SetTextColour", Input:="game.gtzip", SelectedName:="pointhome.Text", Value:="#FFFFFF")
        API.Function("SetTextColour", Input:="game.gtzip", SelectedName:="pointaway.Text", Value:="#FFFFFF")
    End If
Loop

So which is it ? both equal or both equal 40 ?
Have to now the specifics else even chatgtp wont understand and if one wants to script in vMix one better google a bit about vb.net coding

Code:
dim home= Input.Find("game.gtzip").Text("pointhome.Text")
dim away= Input.Find("game.gtzip").Text("pointaway.Text")

if (home="40") and (away="40") then
	API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="game.gtzip",SelectedName:="pointhome.Text",Value:="#00FF00")
	API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="game.gtzip",SelectedName:="pointaway.Text",Value:="#00FF00")
end if
