Thought I had this fixed: SetOption 1 step behind [solved]

[CodeCode]

Hello, I have a series of Variables in an .inc file that are meant to be set with !WriteKeyValue and !SetOption Bangs.
#Num# is 0 to 4, but just the first one here since they all work the same in the end.
Code:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWCNums]
Measure=Calc
Formula=0
IfCondition=(#Num# = 0)
IfTrueAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables C #TZ1M# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables CText #TZ1MText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables E #TZ1T# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables EText #TZ1TText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables W #TZ1B# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables WText #TZ1BText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetOption Variables C #TZ1M# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetOption Variables CText #TZ1MText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetOption Variables E #TZ1T# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetOption Variables EText #TZ1TText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetOption Variables W #TZ1B# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetOption Variables WText #TZ1BText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!Update]

What am I missing for all the variables are not updating right off?
DynamicVariables is also set for the Calc Measure this code is appearing in.

You can't use !SetOption to dynamically change a variable. You use !SetVariable. !SetOption ONLY works on measures and meters. And with !SetVariable (and !SetOption for that matter), you DON'T specify a file name to set them in. You specify a running "config", defaulting to the current one. Only !WriteKeyValue can write to an actual file. Assuming that RoundVariables.inc is being @Include loaded in the config this action is in, then no config name is required.

Cool. I have changed things to fit properly with use and intent.
However, the the variables remain 1 step behind and only a refresh gets things in line to match the skin and the included RoundVariables.inc.

Code: Select all

[MeasureWCNums]
Measure=Calc
Formula=0
IfCondition=(#Num# = 0)
IfTrueAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables C #TZ1M# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables CText #TZ1MText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables E #TZ1T# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables EText #TZ1TText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables W #TZ1B# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables WText #TZ1BText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetVariable Variables C #TZ1M#][!SetVariable Variables CText #TZ1MText#][!SetVariable Variables E #TZ1T#][!SetVariable Variables EText #TZ1TText#][!SetVariable Variables W #TZ1B#][!SetVariable Variables WText #TZ1BText#][!Update]

I'm still missing something... but what is it?

[jsmorley]

You need to use DynamicVariables=1 on all measures and / or meters where you use those #Variables#.

[CodeCode]

OK. I realised that mentioning the "Variables" parameter is unnecessary as the !SEtVariable Bang does that by natural function and not required.5

It works now, like this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWCNums]
Measure=Calc
Formula=0
IfCondition=(#Num# = 0)
IfTrueAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables C #TZ1M# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables CText #TZ1MText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables E #TZ1T# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables EText #TZ1TText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables W #TZ1B# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables WText #TZ1BText# "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!SetVariable C #TZ1M#][!SetVariable CText #TZ1MText#][!SetVariable E #TZ1T#][!SetVariable EText #TZ1TText#][!SetVariable W #TZ1B#][!SetVariable WText #TZ1BText#][!Update]

Good deal...
