hide image on disconnect

[simzy]

So i am trying to make a skin so that will show upon connection of xbox controller and hides on disconnect but will also change the icon depending on whether battery is above or below 50% but i am at a loss, i am using XInput dll posted here

Code: Select all

IfTrueAction=!Execute [!ShowMeter [meterController0Connect] [!UpdateMeter *] [!Redraw]

[meterController0Battery]
Meter=String
StringAlign=Center
IfCondition=measureController0Battery = 0.33
IfTrueAction=!Execute [!ShowMeter "msadbattery"] [!UpdateMeter *] [!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(measureController0Battery >= 0.50) && (measureController0Battery <= 1)
IfTrueAction2=!Execute [!ShowMeter "mhappybattery"] [!UpdateMeter *] [!Redraw]

[mak_kawa]

IfCondition syntax can not be placed in meters. Instead, it should be placed in measures to work.

Yes, mak_kawa is right here. You have to move the IfConditons into measures. For example:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Author=Simzy
Update=10
AccurateText=1
BackgroundMode=3
;Background=#@#Background.png

;~~~~[Variables]~~~~;

[Variables]
FontName=Ubuntu

;~~~[Measure]~~~;

[measureController0Connect]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=XInput.dll
Device=0
Channel=Connected
IfCondition=measureController0Connect = 1
IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeter "meterController0Connect"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!HideMeter "meterController0Connect"][!Redraw]

[measureController0Battery]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=XInput.dll
Device=0
Channel=Battery_Pad
IfCondition=measureController0Battery = 0.33
IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeter "msadbattery"][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(measureController0Battery >= 0.50) && (measureController0Battery <= 1)
IfTrueAction2=[!ShowMeter "mhappybattery"][!Redraw]

;~~~[Meter]~~~;

[meterController0Connect]
Meter=String
StringAlign=Center

[meterController0Battery]
Meter=String
StringAlign=Center

[mhappybattery]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#battery_happy.png
H=117
W=160

[msadbattery]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#battery_sad.png
H=117
W=160

Note the followings:

• I moved the IfConditions from the [meterController0Connect] and [meterController0Battery] meters to the [measureController0Connect] and [measureController0Battery] measures.
• The IfConditions placed into the [measureController0Battery] measure don't cover the whole range of the domain. IfCondition is true if the measure gets the 0.33 value, while IfCondition2 for values above 0.5. What should go on for other values (below 0.5, excepting 0.33)?
• !Execute is a deprecated bang. Don't use it.
• Although once the Author option belonged to the [Rainmeter] section, a while ago it was moved to [Metadata]. You also should have to move it.
• Update=10? Why? Don't use a such small value. In fact the smallest possible value is 16 (Note here), but not even this isn't needed. I think the default Update=1000 is the best choice in this case (unless your skin has some not posted parts, which requires a such small Update). I'd probably replace this.

the only values that would change apart from the connect and disconnect would be 0.33, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 for the battery level but i only want two images for above 50 and below 50, my biggest issue is making the skin hide when i disconnect my controller. I am basing the commands around this https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=128&t=20108&hilit=xinput

I don't know that plugin and can't even try it out, because I'm not using XBox, but if only those values are involved, the IfCondition can be modified this way:

Code: Select all

[measureController0Battery]
...
IfCondition=(measureController0Battery>=0.50)
IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeter "mhappybattery"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "msadbattery"][!Redraw]

There probably some !HideMeter bangs also would be required (I suppose):

Code: Select all

[measureController0Battery]
...
IfCondition=(measureController0Battery>=0.50)
IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeter "mhappybattery"][!HideMeter "msadbattery"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "msadbattery"][!HideMeter "mhappybattery"][!Redraw]
