I'm trying to make a scoreboard for icehockey within the vmix title editor. It's all working very well but I lack a feature and that is to be able to set opacity for let us say a penalty clock. In the title editor you can set the opacity to either 0=don't show or 1=show. If you could control this via the API you could use this as a on/off button. Wich could be very versatile.

Maybe this function already exists but I haven't found it yet.

I'm not looking for semi-transparency. I want to be able to show/not show some of the elements in a vmix title preferably thru the vmix API.
Is there a way and what would be the syntax of that command?

I want to send something like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=SetOpacity&Input=1&SelectedName=AwayPenalty1&Value=0 in order to hide the penalty clock
http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=SetOpacity&Input=1&SelectedName=AwayPenalty1&Value=1 in order to show the penalty clock

I hope that this will make sense of what I'm trying to achieve

The nice thing about vMix is that you can easily add inputs to do exactly as 'madness' suggests to accomplish your objective.
(In fact, that is precisely how I have accommodated the penalty clocks in my productions)
Unfortunately, what you are requesting (i.e. fluctuating the opacity of just one element within an XAML graphic) is not currently possible.
But for the record, my original clock design did include 4 text fields for the penalty timers, my work-around for having them displayed or not was rather simple but effective, I merely "backspaced" them out of view in the 'Title Editor' once they zeroed out (with no characters in the text field, the space is empty). As soon as the "Shortcut" is triggered to start/stop the timer, the field is filled again from the start point and displays on screen.
The difficulty became managing everything properly, it was next to impossible amidst everything else, if something got out of whack (which invariably did and will happen) your mistakes are in plain view for all to see.
I have found that using a separate overlay graphic for the penalty clocks works much better (as madness has pointed out).

Håvard, could you send me such a title? Would like to try it with SmartTitler.

@Håvard, thanks! Will be back when I tried. Found that I need to set the opacity with "." as decimal point. Other settings in vMix typically expect what is defined for the regional Windows setting (in my case ",").
