Another noob question.

[Xune531]

Say I want to make a config that displays text as if its being said.
Example: if its 11:39PM on friday it say

Good evening ,#NAME#. The current time is 11:39 at night on Friday.

I want the "Good evening" to be a changing phrase, the goes from "Good morning" to "good afternoon" to "good evening".

The problem is I also want "at night" to match the greeting. Do I need to code these together?

I'm using Substitute to get both to read out, but I want them to be one phrase.

You can use multiple measures in one string meter:

Code: Select all

[mtString]
Meter=String
MeasureName=SomeMeasure
MeasureName2=SomeOtherMeasure
MeasureName3=AndSoOn
Text="%1 and %2, but don't forget %3"

I'm guessing that's what you needed.

That works great!

Another problem I'm having is with the substitute line.

I have the config measuring time twice, but the two have different functions. I want the First to Substitute the time for "In the Afternoon" Ect, and the other for "Good afternoon" Ect. But it keeps displaying the time and the substitute. How do I make it only show the substitute? Is there a different Measure I should use?

My suggestion is to Measure the time in 24 hour format, then use a calc measure to do the substitution.

Code: Select all

[msTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%#I

[msSub]
Measure=Calc
Formula=msTime<12 && mstime>6 ? 1 : (msTime>12 && msTime<18 ? 2 : 3)
Substitute="1":"Good morning","2":"Good afternoon","3":"Good evening"

Here's the Code:

Code: Select all

Title=Greeting Config

[Variables]
Font=Trebuchet MS
Name=Peter
Color=255, 255, 255

;----------MEASURES----------

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%H:%M %I #Name#
Substitute=" 00":" Good morning"," 01":" Good morning"," 02":" Good morning"," 03":" Good morning"," 04":" Good morning"," 05":" Good morning"," 06":" Good morning"," 07":" Good morning"," 08":" Good morning"," 09":" Good morning"," 10":" Good morning"," 11":" Good morning"," 12":" Good afternoon"," 13":" Good afternoon"," 14":" Good afternoon"," 15":" Good afternoon"," 16":" Good afternoon"," 17":" Good afternoon"," 18":" Good evening"," 19":" Good evening"," 20":" Good evening"," 21":" Good evening"," 22":" Good evening"," 23":" Good evening"


;----------METERS------------

[MeterTime]
MeasureName=MeasureTime
Meter=String
W=700
H=50
FontColor=#Color#, 255
FontSize=20
FontFace=#Font#
StringAlign=Left
AntiAlias=1

It displays "11:65 Good Morning Peter"

How do I make it hide the actual numerical time? I just want it to show the phrase, but if I try to remove the numbers it removes the "Good morning."
