Im sure you have seen it in the background of the beginner motocross track, its a giant sign that displays your time during your run. I have scoured the editor and have not found any sign or object that can display numbers like that, anybody know what object that was? Is it something that is not available to us or am I just being dumb here? Would be cool for this skill game I am making...
I've looked too with no success. I almost wanna say they used pipes for the numbers, but that would be absurd.

I've been wondering about that too. Can you give some hints on how it was programmed?Originally Posted by pahaperttiNope. Planks.

Use the set color event on planks and the game variable to get the time value. Then a interval trigger to color the right planks each tick based on the time.

Maybe PahaP can explain more non coder way?
Ok, here goes:
-Take game variable datasource (time)
Time / 60 / 10 % 6 = X0.000 s
Time / 60 % 10 = X.000 s
Time / 60 * 10 % 10 = 0.X00 s
Time / 60 * 100 % 10 = 0.0X0 s
Time / 60 * 1000 % 10 = 0.00X s
-Then just set up a system which colors the correct planks according to these numbers. Basically it's sets of ten generic filters comparing to numbers from 0 to 9.
Sorry if that makes no sense; I'm tired.
Here's a picture to help understand how it works:
That makes perfect sense. Thanks so much for the detailed answer!

Very cool! Thanks for the answer guys.
PS.... Future DLC object, eh? score board that can display any data source?
It looks to me like they need a future object that would be a grid you could snap all your data items into. All that floating on some random plane in mid-air makes my OCD twitch.
