Alarm clock Adjustment not working properly

Post by sl23 »

I downloaded an alarm clock skin and wanted to dissect it to remove the parts I wanted to add to my current time skin.
Here's the original code:

The trouble is that I had it working, well it still works, but there is now something that I removed that is causing an error.

If I turn the alarm On then Off the MouseScrollActions don't work as they should. So scrolling over the Hour or Minutes doesn't cycle from 23 to 1 or from 59 to 1.

Scrolling the Hour makes it keep counting up past 23 or below 0 to minus numbers instead of 22, 23, 0 or 2, 1, 0, 23. Minutes does the same, it keeps counting up past 60 or below 0 to -1, -2, etc.

Can someone please point out what I've removed or changed that is causing the issue as I just don't see it.

Re: Alarm clock Adjustment not working properly

Post by eclectic-tech »

The alarm set works fine if you have the alarm "on"., but not if you have it "off".

You have the alarm set measures (they have "IfConditions" that correct hours and minutes values) in 2 groups "mAlarm" and "Alarm", but you disable them to disable the alarm... With those measures disabled, the scroll addition/subtraction is never checked, so the value of the hours and minutes keep on adding upward or subtracting downward.

You need to either keep those measures active and find a different way to disable the alarm or use a different method to set the alarm times.
Rather than use IfConditions in those measures, just use CLAMP in the mouse scroll actions to clamp the values:

Code: Select all

...
[HourAlarm]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=sAllText | AlarmSet
Text="#AlarmHourSet#:"
DynamicVariables=1
X=8r
Y=-2r
MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetVariable AlarmHourSet (Clamp(#AlarmHourSet#+1,0,23))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter HourAlarm][!Redraw]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetVariable AlarmHourSet (Clamp(#AlarmHourSet#-1,0,23))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter HourAlarm][!Redraw]

[MinuteAlarm]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=sAllText | AlarmSet
Text="#AlarmMinuteSet#"
DynamicVariables=1
X=-4R
Y=r
MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetVariable AlarmMinuteSet (Clamp(#AlarmMinuteSet#+1,0,59))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter MinuteAlarm][!Redraw]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetVariable AlarmMinuteSet (Clamp(#AlarmMinuteSet#-1,0,59))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter MinuteAlarm][!Redraw]

...
This method eliminates the "rollover" from "highest to lowest" and "lowest to highest" values, but completely removes the need for the IfCondition in those measures to correct the values.

Thanks for the help. I'll take a look this evening.
So this issue must've been present before but as the meter was hidden it wasn't an issue? Ah makes sense now. Brill! Thank you again buddy :thumbup:

Re: Alarm clock Adjustment not working properly

Well, it worked, thanks. But I'm puzzled on the new behaviour!
I exchanged my original code for yours above and commented out three Measures:
[mMinMaxHourAlarm]
[mMinMaxMinuteAlarm]
[mDigitPrefixerAlarm]

What I don't understand is why the last one is required to have the '0' Prefix?
I mean, when measuring the Time this isn't usually required, so why is it now?
If I set the Alarm to 12.00 midnight, it shows 0:0 instead of 00:00.
I can enable the last measure to solve the problem, but I don't understand why this is needed when it isn't on any other clock skins I have created.

Could you explain please. Thanks.

At first look, I see a use of the RegExpSubstitute option and the use of the # modifier in %#I.

Thanks FreeRaider, but the RegEx Substitute is no longer used and the # is only for the hour. I did try to remove this but it made no difference.

I just don't get why the Alarm time is doing this.

I also tried to edit eclectic-tech's MouseScrollActions to use two zero's at the start but although it starts ok, as soon as you scroll off '00' it reverts to single figures:

Code: Select all

MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetVariable AlarmHourSet (Clamp(#AlarmHourSet#+1,00,23))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter HourAlarm][!Redraw]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetVariable AlarmHourSet (Clamp(#AlarmHourSet#-1,00,23))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter HourAlarm][!Redraw]

MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetVariable AlarmMinuteSet (Clamp(#AlarmMinuteSet#+1,00,59))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter MinuteAlarm][!Redraw]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetVariable AlarmMinuteSet (Clamp(#AlarmMinuteSet#-1,00,59))][!UpdateMeasureGroup mALARM][!UpdateMeter MinuteAlarm][!Redraw]

I have not looked at this code, and will leave others to do so, but in general...

There is no such number as 00. That just isn't a valid number. It's just zero. You are welcome to use it in a Calc measure or other formula, it's not an error as such, but it just equals zero. The effect and result will be 0.

Code: Select all

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

[MeasureHour]
Measure=Calc
Formula=00

[MeterHour]

FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5

To be clear, the numeric value of that Calc measure is 0, and the string value of the measure is "0". Leading zeros just don't exist in the world of math.

If you want to have the numeric value zero displayed as 00, you will need to use a RegExpsubstitute and display the modified string value.

Code: Select all

Note that there is also no such "number" as 08. That is just eight...

A Time measure is a different animal altogether. It has nothing to do with "numbers", and is always a string, which you control with the Format option. The %codes in a Time measure by default are formatted with leading zeros, as time is generally expressed as HH:MM:SS, but you can remove the leading zero from them with %#code. The # character in time codes means "remove any leading zeros".

Thanks for explaining.

How does my current measure for HourAlarm measure the Time %H but not adjust with the actual time and instead displays a static number? That's what has caused confusion. It says it's monitoring the hour from...

Code: Select all

[mHourAlarm]
Measure=Time
Format=%H
Group=ALARM
But the display doesn't adjust as if a normal time would.
Does it matter what these numbers measure? Probably not I think.

I guess I don't understand. That measure above will return the current hour in the format 00-23, and will not be "static".

Post all of your current code.

It's ok, I figured out the reason for the use of that measure. It's used by measuring H and M then if a Variable is equal then it sets alarm off.

Code: Select all

IfCondition=(mHourAlarm = #AlarmHourSet#) && (mMinuteAlarm = #AlarmMinuteSet#)
Thanks anyway for the offer.
