[Bug] Can't use a nested variable as a bang?

[Cariboudjan]

Left-clicking should perform the same function as right-clicking.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]

[Variables]
ButtonAction0=!ShowMeter
ButtonAction1=!HideMeter
ButtonActionNum=0

ButtonToggle=!ToggleMeter

[Meter1]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=255,55,55
W=50
H=50
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable ButtonActionNum (#ButtonActionNum#=0?1:0)][[#ButtonAction[#ButtonActionNum]] Meter2][!Update]
RightMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable ButtonActionNum (#ButtonActionNum#=0?1:0)][#ButtonToggle# Meter2][!Update]
DynamicVariables=1

[Meter2]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=255,255,55
Y=50
W=50
H=50

I really don't see anything wrong, as a workaround though, you can use a (undocumented) measure string as a bang

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable ButtonActionNum "(#ButtonActionNum#=0?1:0)"][MeasureBang][!Update]
;...
[MeasureBang]
Measure=String
String=[&MeasureBang[#ButtonActionNum]] Meter2
DynamicVariables=1
[MeasureBang0]
Measure=String
String=!ShowMeter
[MeasureBang1]
Measure=String
String=!HideMeter

Interesting that the bang would work as a measure but not as a variable?

It's a consequences of string variables or whatever this means

Code: Select all

[Variables]
ButtonAction0=!ShowMeter
ButtonAction1=!HideMeter
ButtonActionNum=0

Bangs with the section variables work a bit different. When you made a bang with section variables like this one:
LeftMouseUpAction=[[#ButtonAction[#ButtonActionNum]] Meter2]

you expected it be equal to this:
LeftMouseUpAction=[!ShowMeter Meter2]

but it does not work like this in such case. In fact, it is applied as if there are already brackets in your variable, so in your case it transforms the bang to this format:
LeftMouseUpAction=[[!ShowMeter] Meter2]

so the proper way would be having it this way :

Code: Select all

[Variables]
ButtonActionNum=0
ButtonAction0=!ShowMeter Meter2
ButtonAction1=!HideMeter Meter2

[Meter1]
LeftMouseUpAction=[#ButtonAction[#ButtonActionNum]] 

and it is going to work as LeftMouseUpAction=[!ShowMeter Meter2].
And for your case you can put it this way:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
ButtonActionNum=0
N=2
ButtonAction0=!ShowMeter Meter#N#
ButtonAction1=!HideMeter Meter#N#

[Meter1]
LeftMouseUpAction=[#ButtonAction[#ButtonActionNum]]
; you will need to have something like this:
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable N 2][#ButtonAction[#ButtonActionNum]]
