How can I execute a OnChangeAction only when certain criteria are met?

[kyriakos876]

Hello, I have this measure that executes a command after the value of this measure has changed:

Code: Select all

[MeasureTitle]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebNowPlaying
PlayerType=Title
Substitute="":"N/A"
OnChangeAction=[!Delay 2300][!CommandMeasure MeasureAnimation "Execute 1"]
DynamicVariables=1

I want the OnChangeAction to not be executed if the value of that Measure becomes "N/A". How would I do that?

NOTE: I tried IfMatch but it works only once.

-Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureTitle]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebNowPlaying
PlayerType=Title
Substitute="":"N/A"
IfMatch=N/A
IfMatchAction=[!SetOption MeasureTitleS OnChangeAction """[!Delay 2300][!CommandMeasure MeasureAnimation "Execute 1"]"""][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureTitleS"]
IfNotMatchAction=[!SetOption MeasureTitleS OnChangeAction "[]"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureTitleS"]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureTitleS]
Measure=String
String=[MeasureTitle]
DynamicVariables=1

As you can see, depending on the value returned by the [MeasureTitle] measure, the OnChangeAction option is set or removed from the second measure [MeasureTitleS].

IfNotMatchAction=[!SetOption MeasureTitleS OnChangeAction "[]"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureTitleS"]

[MeasureTitleS]
Measure=String
String=[MeasureTitle]

This works but I wanted it to work the opposite way, so now when it says "N/A" it's not activated, which is what I was going for. I just swapped IfMatchAction with IfNotMatchAction.

Thanks for the help. I don't know why but I can't seem to find simple solutions to simple problems... I only find the weirdest solutions for easy problems but simple ones for the more complex problems....

Sorry I've misunderstood. Swapping those options is indeed the solution.

Don't worry, this will come if you keep working, as you're accumulating more and more experience.

Happens. ^_^

Can't argue that!
