It seems like Rainmeter registers the variable in the Open Log > Skins section but trying to use it anywhere just returns the the variable name (as if it was escaped) or the number 0 (I assume that's what happens since in a Calc measure using the variable there in any math makes the Formula equal 0)
Am I stupid? !UpdateMeasure/Meter dosen't do anything either.
I also know I can make another function that is just function Oof() return value end and call it in the Initialize function or use Inline Lua, but that's beaside the point since I wanna do multiple !SetVariable in bulk

You need to use DynamicVariables=1 anywhere you are using a #VarName# that can be changed, or in this case, created.

I'm so dumb, thank you very much Saint Jsmorley
With this (and parentheses around the H and W option), my skin that sets the width and height of Honeycomb based on the Os in the name works perfectly.
I'm doing this in preparation of changing the background shape into an actual shape meter instead of the horrible not aliased image that comes with all Honeycombs.
Thank you very much again!
