[solved] Attempting to use Loop to cycle through roundline meters

[CodeCode]

Hello,
So I have some basic roundline meters, arranged concentrically. There are 4 in total. It sort of looks like a target.
However even though it is partially working, I am unsure why the concentric circles are skipping a value - or appears to. Either way I am unsure how to resolve this skipping issue:

*EDITED CODE: (using Loop Measure instead).

IfCondition2=MeasureLoop = 0
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption MeasureLoop InvertMeasure 0][!UpdateMeasure MeasureCycle]

Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure of the appearance you are going for, but one issue that is causing the odd behavior of the rings is you have a really hard to see typo:

IfTrueAction4=...[!SetOption Circle1 Hidden '1"]...

On secondary note, you don't need any of those DynamicVariables=1 lines (since there are no variables), but maybe you were just experimenting or planning on adding some later. Also, you might be a little over-enthusiastic with the [!UpdateMeasure MeasureCycle] bangs, since they won't really have any effect on the skin, but perhaps again you were just testing. And finally, I don't think you need a dedicated ping-pong measure, since you can ping-pong the Loop just by itself.

Here is a stripped down version. I added a commented out debug line in the loop so you can see the cadence of what is happening. I was not sure if you intended certain increments to be repeated, i.e., the cadence goes 0,1,2,3,3,2,1,0,0,1,2,3,3.... (0 and 3 are repeated).

Wow. Thanks SilverAzide!

Such intrinsic differences but very subtle just the same.

It looks great.

Cheers.
