Hi all,
I am using "Radar Clock 2" (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Radar-Clock-2-333830105).
I have removed the HOUR / MINUTE & SECOND hands as I only want the radar itself, is there any way to have a 'BLIP' appear on the radar when the radar sweeps?
so as it goes around no 'BLIP' but when the radar sweeps over a certain place a 'BLIP' appears on the radar
It is currently April 26th, 2024, 3:15 am

Re: Blip On Radar
I'm not sure at all what the BLIP means, so I removed the minute and second hands and modified the skin to have the hour hand hidden, then it appears for a short period, when the radar sweeps over 0.
For a such task, you have to modify the [MeasureRotate] measure. Add the following options to this measure:
You have to define in the [Variables] section, the Period variable:
(leave alone the existing variables).
The skin will show the plain for a period equal with the value of the Period variable, starting from 0 (when the radar sweeps over 0).
Note that I'd also replace the Formula of the [MeasureRotate] measure with the following one: Formula=(COUNTER % 360). With the old formula, when you refreshed the skin, the radar started working from 0. With this new one, even on a refresh the skin continues to go on.
Please let me know if this is what you wanted.
Merry Christmas.

Re: Blip On Radar
Thanks balala,
This is almost exactly what I want, except for the 'hour plane' instead of the 'plane' I would like to use my own image or even text.
I hope you can help me with this.
Again thanks
Paul.

Then replace the [MeterHours] meter with any of the followings:Shaggy wrote:Thanks balala,

if you want an image:
Code: Select all
[MeterHours]
Meter=Image
Imagename=#@#MyImage.png
X=200
Y=120
W=50
H=40
PreserveAspectRatio=1
Code: Select all
[MeterHours]
Meter=STRING
X=225
Y=120
FontColor=0,0,0
FontEffectColor=220,220,220
StringEffect=Shadow
FontSize=8
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=CENTER
AntiAlias=1
Text=My string
Obviously you can modify the name of the [MeterHours] (if you find it being weird), as you want, just be careful in this case to use the same name on the [MeasureRotate] measure, otherwise it won't work.
