d)You can then select your new DMD that we called "MyNewDMD" , again click on "Matrix Colour" and select this saved colour and click ok.
This will change the colour of "MyNewDMD" on the HUD only

b) Go to top of script where Dmd's are associated with fonts (under Option Explicit) ie. MyDMD1.AddFont 1, "whatever name from font manager" My DMD2.AddFont 1, "whatever name from font manager" and add the same with your new DMDs ie MyNewDMD.AddFont 1, "whatever name from font manager" the AddFont 1 will translate to" [f1]" in your "MyNewDMD.text " that you create below. Here are the ones that I've used: Copy 'n paste these ones Code: MyNewDMD.AddFont 1, "dmd05x05p"
MyNewDMD.AddFont 2, "dmd09x15po"

5.Choose Your DMD Templates Decide what stats you want and how you want them oriented on your DMD "x" and "y" values will orient your DMD value on the DMD itself . Coordinate [x0][y0] is top left and [xc][yc] is centre point. Here are the ones I've used. (Simply copy and paste them where stated and then observe the magic  A. Current Player DMD

Copy 'n Paste : Code: If PlayersPlayingGame > 1 then
MyNewDMD.Text = "[f2][xc][y9]" & FormatNumber (nvscore(CurrentPlayer), 0, -1, 0, -1) & "[f1][x82][y2]Balls: " & (BallsRemaining(CurrentPlayer)) & "[x2][y2]PLAYER: " & currentplayer & "[x2][y25]LAST PLAYER: " & FormatNumber(nvScore(LastPlayer), 0, -1, 0, -1)
End if
If PlayersPlayingGame = 1 then
MyNewDMD.Text = "[f2][xc][y9]" & FormatNumber (nvscore(CurrentPlayer), 0, -1, 0, -1) & "[f1][x82][y2]Balls: " & (BallsRemaining(CurrentPlayer)) & "[x2][y2]PLAYER: " & currentplayer & "[x2][y25]Credits: "& nvCredits
End if Destination: Under Sub AddScore(Points) and under "nvScore(CurrentPlayer) = nvscore(CurrentPlayer) + points" Note : Older style EM Reel tables instead of Sub AddScore(Points) may have alternate score routine such as Sub Addscore(Num,points) Just place your "MyNewDMD.text" statement there.

****Note : Now that you've done this you can use a short cut by placing "AddScore(0)" in other places to refresh this "Current Player DMD" or you can just paste whole text statement. Copy 'N Paste under KeyCode = GetKeyCode(PlungerKey) this refreshes your current score DMD with plunger pull. Code: AddScore(0)

Copy 'N Paste under Sub EndOfGame() that way score will be posted at end of game (Note: don't do this if you are completing all the templates including Cycling FutureDMD at the bottom of this tutorial) Code: AddScore(0)
