How do I get text boxes to play in sequence?
Hello! I have three Text Displayer gadgets in my scene, and I’m trying to make it where they play in sequence. But even when I use keyframes and a timeline, it just won’t work. They’ll end up not displaying at all. I’ve also tried wiring them to a countdown and having that power the next one on, but that doesn’t work either. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? I’ve been stumped all morning.

What are you keyframing, about the text boxes? Are the text boxes powered?
Have you tried just putting the text boxes onto the timeline itself? You can place any gadget on there, and they will be powered and unpowered at the right times. -
My idea re: keyframes was to have the text boxes exist in-scene as objects, then zooming in on each individual one with each keyframe. But I’ll be honest, I’m not even sure if that *could* work — animation is still a bit weak point of mind that I’m trying to learn.
Placing the gadgets themselves onto the timeline did the trick! I can’t believe that slipped my mind. Thanks a ton!!
