Lua script activating/deactivating a different skin?

[Yamajac]

Is that possible? I can't seem to figure out how to do it. It would trivialize my current project, but it just doesn't seem possible..

[smurfier]

SKIN:Bang('!ActivateConfig', 'ConfigName', 'Skin.ini')

SKIN:Bang('!DeactivateConfig', 'ConfigName')

SKIN:Bang('!ToggleConfig', 'ConfigName', 'Skin.ini')

Smurfier has it exactly right. Basically, anything you can do in a skin with bangs, you can also do in Lua.

[Yamajac]

SKIN:Bang('!ActivateConfig', 'ConfigName', 'Skin.ini')

SKIN:Bang('!DeactivateConfig', 'ConfigName')

SKIN:Bang('!ToggleConfig', 'ConfigName', 'Skin.ini')

But that doesn't work, at all. I've tried it. It won't toggle the skins, for whatever reason.

I assure you it does work. You have to be careful that you understand and use the correct "ConfigName" for the skin you are trying to toggle. Also, don't forget that Lua is always case sensitive, so be careful of case when using commands. SKIN:Bang (good) | Skin:Bang (fail).

Yeah, I can get every other bang to work with lua, but just not this one. It just doesn't work for whatever reason. I thought maybe toggling skins just doesn't work in lua, but I suppose I'm just doing something wrong. Probably got some quotes in the wrong place or something.

Whatever the case, I have managed to make a workaround that works better than the lua option regardless, so all is well. Thanks for your help.

Glad to help.
