I still have no idea what the issue was, but I tried SetH() again in a more recent version of my script and it appears to be working just fine. My bad for the false alarm.

Greetings,
While working on this skin, I had trouble getting the meter:SetY() and SetH() functions to work. I got around it initially by just using SKIN:Bang('!SetOption '....) in place of both, but when I played around with it some more I found that SetY() worked just fine - it was only SetH() that wouldn't play nice.
This works as expected:
Code: Select all
SKIN:Bang('!SetOption ' .. Meters[i]:GetName() .. ' H ' .. h)
-- Meters[i]:SetH(h)
Meters[i]:SetY(y)Code: Select all
-- SKIN:Bang('!SetOption ' .. Meters[i]:GetName() .. ' H ' .. h)
Meters[i]:SetH(h)
Meters[i]:SetY(y)Obviously I can get the skin to work regardless, I'm just curious why one would work and the other wouldn't. I can't see how the trouble is with my 'h' variable in the function, since plugging that variable into a !SetOption bang works just fine. I also thought that maybe SetH() wouldn't work if my meters didn't already have a H=... key, but I checked and they all do (more specifically, the MeterStyle used for the all the meters in question has an H key). So I wonder...
Full script code (the trouble is in the updateHeight() function)
Code: Select all
Meters = {}
Values = {}
numBars = _
height = _
measure = _
function Initialize()
numBars = SELF:GetNumberOption('Bars')
height = SELF:GetNumberOption('Height')
measure = SKIN:GetMeasure('mCPU')
print(numBars .. ' | ' ..height)
for i=1,numBars do
Meters[i] = makeMeter(i)
Values[i] = 0
end
end
function Update()
moveValues(measure:GetRelativeValue())
updateHeight()
return
end
function makeMeter(n)
SKIN:Bang('!WriteKeyValue',n,'Meter','IMAGE')
SKIN:Bang('!WriteKeyValue',n,'MeterStyle','sBar')
meter = SKIN:GetMeter(n)
return meter
end
function updateHeight()
for i=1,numBars do
h = (Values[i])*height
h = math.floor(h)
y = height - h
-- print(h .. ' | ' .. y)
-- SKIN:Bang('!SetOption ' .. Meters[i]:GetName() .. ' Y ' .. y)
SKIN:Bang('!SetOption ' .. Meters[i]:GetName() .. ' H ' .. h)
-- Meters[i]:SetH(h)
Meters[i]:SetY(y)
end
end
function moveValues(newest)
for i=1,numBars do
Values[i] = Values[i+1]
end
Values[numBars] = newest
end
