[Fixed] Problem with return in Update

Post by smurfier »

When a variable in Lua is set to "" (ie. Try = "") then set to be returned in Update, the measure instead displays 0.

I just tested this:
PROPERTIES = {}
function Initialize()
Try = ""
end
function Update()
return Try
end

I guess poiru can weigh in, but "" is NULL which I suspect Rainmeter is treating as "nothing" and thus defaults to "0", which is what any disabled measure returns.

Just guessing, but suspect it is due to this:
