ActionTImer speed issue: too fast: Wait 500 -----[Solved]

[jsmorley]

To "Repeat" the action in my example many times, you might do:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Variables]
IAmHidden=0

[MeasureBlinkIt]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
ActionList1=Repeat Blink, 200, 10
Blink=[!SetVariable IAmHidden "(1-#IAmHidden#)"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureBlinkIt][!UpdateMeter MeterString][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterString]
Meter=String
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=#IAmHidden#
DynamicVariables=1
Text=Hello World

[MeterBlink]
Meter=String
Y=30
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=Blink it
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBlinkIt "Execute 1"]

Suddenly, this is going really well

Thanks jsmorley, for the clarifications

[jsmorley]

Or an even BETTER way, if you use the latest Rainmeter 4.1 beta at https://www.rainmeter.net

Skin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Lua]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=Test.lua
Disabled=1

[MeasureBlinkIt]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
ActionList1=Repeat Blink, 200, 10
Blink=[!CommandMeasure Lua "ToggleHidden()"][!UpdateMeter MeterString][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterString]
Meter=String
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=[&Lua:amHidden]
DynamicVariables=1
Text=Hello World

[MeterBlink]
Meter=String
Y=30
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=Blink it
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBlinkIt "Execute 1"]

Test.lua:

Code: Select all

amHidden=0

function ToggleHidden()

	amHidden = (1 - amHidden)
	
end

I LOVE this new Inline Lua!

[Mor3bane]

Even better indeed - I just have to learn Lua...

Even better indeed - I just have to learn Lua...

Well, good place to start... It is uhm. 4 lines of Lua.

Anyway, glad you are making progress. Have fun.

I can see the structure is vaguely similar to C++, given you did the traditional indentation etc.

I just need to learn the syntax that seems to be based on adjectives and conjunctional phrasing - but my exposure to the Lua universe is quite terran in nature.
