Scrolling Vertical Text
« on: December 30, 2019, 09:20:09 AM »
I plan on adding 3 -  6x100 vertical matrix on my house and thought it would be nice to display a message on there.  I was trying to add the Tune to information and have it set for the 5x6 thin font scrolling up with the effect vertical text down.  It does not scroll from the bottom to the top and roll-off?  It appears that it just scrolls up and stops once the message is on the matrix.  How do I get this to scroll all the way off the vertical matrix and to cycle through the message starting at the bottom and having it scroll all the way off and repeat?

It will work.  You gotta pick "vector" for movement and change the Y value on both the Start Position and End Position tabs.  You can make it move anywhere.

Just to the right of the box where you can select your movement is a checkbox with a c next to it, uncheck that box.
That box is there to make your text come to the center and then stop when it is checked.

I should also mention you're going to want to adjust your speed and the length of your effect to get it to scroll through as many times as you want.
