First off spelling and writing commands when scripting(coding) is very important commands to right a script ==> commands to write a script When it comes to a script you don't mention how you are retrieving the value. In vMix scripting using vb.net one usually has to retrieve datasource data through a title (simplest way). Do some logic or conversion on that and like in this case send to your title And put the whole thing in a loop for repeated checking Code:Do While true
Dim text as string = Input.Find("title.gtzip").Text("Headline.Text")
Dim value As Integer = Integer.Parse(text)
Dim abs1 As Integer = Math.Abs(value)
API.Function("SetText",Input:="title.gtzip" , SelectedName:="Description.Text" , Value:=abs1)
Sleep(500)
Loop
' or for short
Do While true
API.Function("SetText",Input:="title.gtzip" , SelectedName:="Description.Text" , Value:=Math.Abs(Integer.Parse(Input.Find("title.gtzip").Text("Headline.Text"))))
Sleep(500)
Loop

The camera is a part of the score bug via the multiview function. I've tried triggers to delay it coming in, but nothing has worked. I know I could bring the camera in as another overlay, but during the game I have other things going on with all of the overlays - so I do not want to use an overlay just for this purpose. Any ideas? This will work with a delay in an OnOverlayIn trigger on the scorebug input and the LayerOn function (combined with OnOverlayOut and LayerOff). What have you tried so far?

Any ideas? have you tried "video delay" input ? also a camera input has a (in advanced) delay setting
