Another question from newby,

I need to get a countdown in seconds from nowpointer to next marker,
I triednto use the Cue remaining time input node and connected it to a digital display output node, which is connected to a digital display.
The input node shows time (in item properties mode), but the digital displays does not.

Any idea?

Hey ,
The short answer is a label.
Label output to label.
Best,
Benni

Hi Benni,

I tried, but the Label is not updating. Whenever i edit the node and close the edit mode, the label displays the correct value, but does not change, if the value changier, /means the label is static.

Hi Beni,

I am on a Windows 7 machine, i have the latest WD running ( as i am not at the place today, I cant Tell the rev number), but it is the latest available . I will check the framework, but isn't that being installed automatically by the Widgetdesigner installer? Or at least during the installation process?
I'll post all news, when I had access to the machine.

Hi Tim,

do you have a working connection between Pandoras Box and your Widget Designer? Please check, if you use the same IP address and Domain in both applications.
PB:
Configuration/Network/Domain

WD:
Edit/Pandoras Box IP Configuration/Master Connection - must have the IP of your Pandoras Box machine and the same Domain you use with PB

After this you can create the CueRemaining Input Node and send the output to your layer.

Hope the above is helpful.

Hi Johannes,

I am not sure what you mean by sending the output to a layer.

What I have:
- a connection between WD and PB, because I can see values coming from PB when the input-node is in "edit-mode".
- an output node (tried several "label" "digital display")
- a destination for that output-node ( a label or a digital display)
- connections drawn between the two nodes
- the output-node is set to the ID of my "label" or "Display"

The "Label" is showing the same value as the input node, but only once. Whenever I close the "item properties" window of either a node or the "display" the displayed value does not change anymore, even though the value from PB is changing...
Do you understand what I mean?

My bad - I meant "label" :roll:

Your setup is right and should work. It seems, as the connection to your Label Node is deactivated- orange/red knot.
Please do the following steps:
- create a Custom Script button, TYPE "toggle"
-- OnClic Script: WDNodeEnable
-- OnRelease Script: WDNodeDisable

This button will activate or deactivate all used nodes in your WD project. After you enabled all nodes again and it is stil not running, please delete the current Label Node and create a fresh on.

Hope this helps you a bit...

Best
Johannes

Hi,

unfortunately that didn't help either.
But I found, that on a blank new WD project the nodes and label behave as expected.
Only in my actual WD Project, where I used a lot of nodes, it's not working.
Is there a limitation on how many nodes can used be in a single project?

thx

How many nodes you have?
tools, options. There you can see it.

Hello,

there is no limit. You could try to delete other nodes until you find the source of the problem. Maybe you have some other Node accessing the Label as well?
