Group1 | Group2 ToggleMeterGroup and on/off Status

Are you sure this is working? Because Lithium is a meter, so an IfCondition=(Lithium=0) option doesn't has too much sense.

Meters have no value. You can never test the value of a meter.

Meters have no value. You can never test the value of a meter.

At first glance it seemed it was working.
All it did was disable the Meter when the Top1 meter was toggled. So seeing that, it looked good. But the meter that toggles the image meter no longer functions either, making the progress bittersweet.

So given that testing a Meter is as useful as dividing by zero, I am not sure how my problem can be solved.

Hi, I am fairly certain this is all of the relevant code.

Lithiumand InfoPath are image meters that are Toggled by Lower6, and are Grouped as Atomic

Top 1 is meant to Toggle a HUD display that is a Group of Image Meters Grouped as ExtHUD, along with the MeterGroup Atomic

My wish is to make Top1 smart enough to know when the Atomic Group is on or off, and Toggle appropriately in tune with Group ExtHUD by understanding if Atomic is off it stays off, and if Atomic is on, it Toggles off as well - or back on - appropriately.

Code: Select all

[LithiumCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter%43
DynamicVariables=1

[InfoPath]

ImageTint=#Scanner#
AntiAlias=1
X=125

[MeasureTop1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( [Lithium:W] + [Lithium:H] )
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=(Lithium=0)
IfTrueAction=[!ToggleGroup "Atomic"]

[Top1]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=550
Y=80
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="Extended HUD"
ToolTipType=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[!ToggleMeterGroup "ExtHUD"]

[Lower6]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=MeasureLower6
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=880
Y=965
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="Atomic Scan"
ToolTipType=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[!ToggleMeterGroup "Atomic"]

Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.

Start by correcting the measure issue balala pointed out...
[MeasureTop1] IfCondition should check the value of the current measure NOT the value of 'Lithium' (which doesn't exist in the code).

Code: Select all

...

[MeasureTop1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=([Lithium:W]+[Lithium:H])
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=(MeasureTop1=0)
IfTrueAction=[!ToggleGroup "Atomic"]

...

Now that measure value will toggle between 0 and 1. What you do with that info is up to you.

Can't really test because:
You didn't post the [MeasureLower6] measure.
I don't have the 120 images you reference.
The static positions place some items at the lower right corner because they are larger than my screen res.

All it did was disable the Meter

A meter can't be disabled (or enabled), it can be hidden or shown. A measure can be disabled or enabled.

My wish is to make Top1 smart enough to know when the Atomic Group is on or off, and Toggle appropriately in tune with Group ExtHUD by understanding if Atomic is off it stays off, and if Atomic is on, it Toggles off as well - or back on - appropriately.

I'm sorry, but I think I didn't understand your wish. The Atomic and ExtHUD groups are practically the same, they both contain the [Lithium] and the [InfoPath] meters. So, if you toggle either Atomic, either ExtHUD group, the other group is also toggled. So, it's not clear at all what would you like.

[eclectic-tech]

If I understand your desired layout, you have a Top1 meter that toggles the ExtHUD group of meters, and an Atomic group that is toggle by a Lower6 meter, but is also controlled by Top1 (if Atomic is hidden, stays hidden, if showing toggles with ExtHUD group via Top1 action).

From this, you would need to have the HUD meters in the ExtHUD group, and the Lower6 meters in the Atomic group (don't have them in both groups).
HUD meters are only in the ExtHUD group.
Lower6 controlled meters are only in the Atomic group.

{Layout}
Top1
|
HUD (ExtHUD Group)
|
Lithium (Atomic Group)
InfoPath (Atomic Group)

Since all of the meters you posted are 40x40 pixels, you can use that to determine the current meter states (Hidden/Showing) to determine actions based on the sizes of a HUD meter and the Lithium meter.

Code: Select all

[MeasureTop1Action]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[HUD:W]+[HUD:H]+[Lithium:W]+[Lithium:H]

; Both hidden or only HUD showing, only toggle ExtHUD group
IfCondition=#CurrentSection#<=80
IfTrueAction=[!ToggleMeterGroup ExtHUD]

; Both showing, toggle both groups
IfCondition2=#CurrentSection#>80
IfTrueAction2=[!ToggleMeterGroup Atomic][!ToggleMeterGroup ExtHUD]

DynamicVariables=1
UpdateDivider=-1

[Top1]
Meter=Image
...
LeftMouseUpAction=[!UpdateMeasure MeasureTop1Action]

You may need to play with this since I do not have all of your code. But this should help get you closer...

EDIT: Expanded comment on first IfCondition test for clarity...

Thanks folks, for your time in helping me find a solution.

I remembered another bit of code you helped me with in 2015 - i know a while back.. I have a very good selective memory

It looked a bit like this, with the changes I made to get closer - most of the way anyways:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
@include=#@#RoundVariables.inc
FloaterHome=0
FloaterAtom=0

[mStatus]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#Floater#
IfCondition=#FloaterHome#=0
IfTrueAction=[!SetOptionGroup Home Hidden 1][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=#FloaterHome#=1
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOptionGroup Home Hidden 0][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=#FloaterAtom#=0
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOptionGroup Atomic Hidden 1][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=#FloaterAtoma#=1
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOptionGroup Atomic Hidden 0][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraaw]
DynamicVariables=1

[Top1]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=550
Y=80
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="Extended HUD"
ToolTipType=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[!ToggleMeterGroup "ExtHUD"][!SetVariable "FloaterHome" "0"][!SetVariable "FloaterAtom" "0"][mStatus]
DynamicVariables=1

[Lower6]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=880
Y=965
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="Atomic Scan"
ToolTipType=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetVariable FloaterAtom 1][mStatus][!ToggleMeterGroup "Atomic"]
DynamicVariables=1

[Lower8]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=995
Y=965
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="World"
ToolTipType=1
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable FloaterHome 1][mStatus][!ToggleMeterGroup "Home"]
DynamicVariables=1

So this works nicely to keep the animated meters from persisting when Top1 is toggled off.
But when it toggles back on the little guys aren't being re-shown if they were on to start with.
What makes me want to try and go with the above is that I thunked up meself

THIS is what it is all happening in.
