SetVariable problem

Post by Coolancs »

Hello, I'm making a skin and got a little stuck.

I basically grab a value with WebParser and change the color of a skin depending on that.

What i want to do is have a variable that changes depending on that value.
I've tried adding [!Setvariable "Arrow" "↑"] in the IfCondition but i can't seem to make it work.

Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Arrow=-

[BTCChange]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
DynamicVariables=1
URL=[GetBTCChange]
StringIndex=1
IfCondition=BTCChange <0
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterBTCChange FontColor "255,0,0,128"][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=BTCChange >0
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption MeterBTCChange FontColor "0,255,0,128"][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=BTCChange =0
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOption MeterBTCChange FontColor "255,255,255,128"][!Redraw]

Need a bit more info... :???:

You didn't post the [GetBTCChange] measure for the URL= ... so we don't know what you are trying to parse.

There is no RegExp=(?siU)..., so what are you capturing in StringIndex=1 ?

The WebParser returns STRING values, to use in IfCondition staements, use brackets around the WebParser measure name; [BTCChange]
(Reference: https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/measure-as-a-variable/)

With a bit more info, someone may be able to determine the issue in your WebParser measure.
BTW your IfCondition statements work fine if given a numeric value... :welcome:

Your code is working for me, the values are changing. I may have misunderstood what you wanted...
To have a colored arrow I changed your variables and added an additional SetOption to your IfConditions...

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Arrow=-
ArrowUp=↑
ArrowDown=↓

...

[BTCChange]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
DynamicVariables=1

URL=[GetBTCChange]
StringIndex=1
IfCondition=BTCChange <0
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterBTCChange FontColor "255,0,0,128"][!SetOption MeterBTCChange Text "#ArrowDown#"][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=BTCChange >0
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption MeterBTCChange FontColor "0,255,0,128"][!SetOption MeterBTCChange Text "#ArrowUp#"][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=BTCChange =0
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOption MeterBTCChange FontColor "255,255,255,128"][!SetOption MeterBTCChange Text "#Arrow#"][!Redraw]
I hope this is close to what you were trying to accomplish.

I didn't know how to change the arrows, but this works perfectly. Thank you! :D
