Nesting square brackets in actions

[balala]

Code: Select all

OnUpdateAction = [! SetOptionGroup Pictures "Hidden = 0"]

OnUpdateAction = [! SetOptionGroup Pictures "Hidden [color=#FF0000]=[/color] 0"] - This is almost good, just remove the equal sign: OnUpdateAction = [! SetOptionGroup Pictures Hidden "0"].

Code: Select all

[Light]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Rectangle 7,0,193.5,62.5,5 | StrokeWidth 6 | Stroke Color 0,200,0,100 | Fill Color 47,47,47,0

[Effect]
OnUpdateAction=[!SetOption Light][!Show Light]| Wait 5 |[!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Update Light]

This option has a lot of issues: first replace the red part of the following option with a !Delay bang: OnUpdateAction=[!SetOption Light][!Show Light][color=#FF0000]| Wait 5 |[/color][!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Update Light]. Correctly (only from this point of view): OnUpdateAction=[!SetOption Light][!Show Light][color=#009900]| Wait 5 |[/color][!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Update Light]. The number used under the !Delay bang is expressed in milliseconds. But there are missing a lot of parameters, quotation marks and so on. Can't see what you would like... In plus, adding more !ShowMeter / HideMeter bangs related to the same meter, has no visible effect, those bangs are executed simultaneously, you won't see anything.

Code: Select all

OnUpdateAction=[!SetOption Light [!Show Light | Wait 5 | !Hide Light]]

Again I'm not sure what you would like to achieve with the above option, but it definitely won't work, because there are too much spaces and too less parameters. The !SetOption bang needs at least three parameters: the first would be the name of the section which you'd like to modify through the bang. This is what I suppose to be missing above. There also would be required quotations. The set option contains spaces, so the quotations are absolutely required, without them the bang won't work: [!SetOption [color=#FF0000]NAME-OF-SECTION[/color] Light [color=#FF0000]"[/color][!Show Light | Wait 5 | !Hide Light][color=#FF0000]"[/color]].

Code: Select all

OnUpdateAction=[ActionList=[[!Show Light][!Hide Light][!Show Light]] | Wait 2000 | Repeat [[!Hide Light][!Show Light][!Hide Light]],10,3][!Redraw]

On this point I definitely don't understand what you would like to do. Probably again a !SetOption would be required, but...

Forget all this for a moment, I'm on the ActionMeter plugin tutorial and I see that I made a code that does not look like anything: s

[Honimoura]

Sorry my code is so wrong !!!

But after reading the tutorial it would look more like at :

Code: Select all

[Light]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Rectangle 7,0,193.5,62.5,5 | StrokeWidth 6 | Stroke Color 0,200,0,100 | Fill Color 47,47,47,0

[Effect]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
ActionList=DoThat| Wait 1000 | Dothis
DoThat=[!Hide Light][!UpdateMeter Effect][!Redraw]
DoThis=[!Show Light][!UpdateMeter Effect][!Redraw]

But I continue the tutorial, I showed you just to reassure you about my unskill in this plugin.

the same problem ... "! hide" works for a skin and not for a measure ... need to do with "hidden =" i think

[balala]

Code: Select all

[Light]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Rectangle 7,0,193.5,62.5,5 | StrokeWidth 6 | Stroke Color 0,200,0,100 | Fill Color 47,47,47,0

[Effect]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
ActionList=DoThat| Wait 1000 | Dothis
DoThat=[!Hide Light][!UpdateMeter Effect][!Redraw]
DoThis=[!Show Light][!UpdateMeter Effect][!Redraw]

From what I understood you'd like to do there's no need of an ActionTimer plugin measure. Simply, instead of the measure execution (activation) option (probably something like LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "Effect" "Execute 1"]), you could use this: LeftMouseUpAction=[!Hide Light][!Delay "1000"][!Show Light].

It is, I think, not possible because it would be necessary that "Light" is part of another skin not?

A measure can't be hidden or shown, because it isn't something visual, you can't see it. Instead it can be disabled or enabled. The !Hide (!Show and !Toggle, along with !HideFade / !ShoFade / !ToggleFade) are used to hide / show loaded skins, they don't have effect neither on meters. For meters you have to use the !HideMeter / !ShowMeter / !ToggleMeter bangs. The Hidden option is again related to meters, has no effect nor on measures, nor on skins (in the Help it is in the General Meter Options section).
I think you have to clarify some notions...

Sorry, what isn't possible?

[Honimoura]

ho !! okay !!! I did not know the "! hidemeter".
I try to hide a "Sharpe" so it's visual.
In cheating I managed with a:

Code: Select all

[Light]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Rectangle 7,0,193.5,62.5,5 | StrokeWidth 6 | Stroke Color 0,200,0,100 | Fill Color 47,47,47,0

[bg]
Meter=Image
Imagename=MP.png
X=0
Y=0
OnUpdateAction=[!SetOption Light Hidden "1"][!Delay "1000"][!SetOption Light Hidden "0"]
DynamicVariables=1

So where do I loop this or use "hideMeter", which is the cleanest? The least greedy?

"!hide" for a measure in the same skin

OnUpdateAction=[!HideMeter "Light"][!Delay "1000"][!ShowMeter "Light"]
Setting the Hidden option (as you did) also works, but this solution is much more clearer (at least for me it definitely is).

"!hide" for a measure in the same skin
