Again you can "Save as" and enjoy your DMD with Current Player Score/Allplayer Scoreboard/Statistics /Multiplayer or move on to the grand finale ! F. Cycling DMD at table start and game end This can cycle whatever DMD info you want. In the following example it will cycle Table Name, and High Scores at start and then add last game scores and current stats at end of game to cycle routine. Enjoy ! Copy 'N Paste Code: CycleFutureDMD() and place under "Sub EndofGame()" and remove AddScore(0) entry if you previously added it here

For those looking for more jazzy stuff like animations , check out the next tutorial on Background DMD Animations . You can also copy/paste stuff from other DMD's in script and just change the DMD name to your new one and it may work but the timing might be a problem. Further resources include of course, the future pinball help file under "Dot Matrix Displays" and DmdDisplayDemo.fpt sample table that comes with future pinball is helpful. You can copy stuff from the script. 6. ToggleHud Routine :Making a Hud DMD not visible on table Every DMD is precious. If you don't want your newly created Hud DMD (that will be captured by FutureDMD) to be seen on the table itself, you can just drag it off to the side as some suggest. I recommend creating a toggle hud routine for all your Hud DMD's and overlays so they can be Toggled on/off with ToggleHud key. Why? 1. I occasionally like having the DMD's on the Hud 2. More importantly stuff just dragged off the table may be visible in the games room if you are panning around. (Especially with the amazing "Animation Sequencer" + "Forced Arcade Mode" in BAM) Some tables already have a ToggleHud routine but if they don't: 1. Copy 'N Paste with other Dims at top of script Code: Dim ToggleHudOn
