If so, would that not obviate the need for the final [!UpdateMeter "Base"]? Or if not, then what does [!UpdateMeasure "#CURRENTSECTION#"] refer to when used in a meter? :Whistle
Yep, you're right I messed it up again!!! Sorry, my fault.
Yes, I wrote the bangs on the [MeasureToggle] measure, then copied them to the [Base] meter and although I should have to modify them, I forgot.
On the LeftMouseUpAction option of the [Base] meter there is an [!UpdateMeter "Base"] bang (last one). The !UpdateMeasure should have to update the [MeasureToggle] measure. So, on the [Base] meter, the LeftMouseUpAction option should have to be:

Code: Select all

[Base]
...
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable Menu "(1-#Menu#)"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureToggle"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureMenu"][!UpdateMeter "Base"]
Fixed in my previous post too.
Sorry for my mistake and thanks...

No need to apologize. Much appreciate all the help you've given to me and to many, many others here. :D

Just out of curiosity, can #CURRENTSECTION# be used in a meter as well (not just a measure)? If so, then your last bang could also have used it, rather than using the meter name Base. Just askin'. ;-)

Yes, it can. And yes there the Base also can be replaced with #CURRENTSECTION#.

Hi again, something new hapenned. basically, this is the code to show up the menu:

Code: Select all

[MeasureToggle]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=HotKey
HotKey=CTRL NUM0
KeyDownAction=[!SetVariable Menu "(1-#Menu#)"][!UpdateMeasure "#CURRENTSECTION#"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureMenu"]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureMenu]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#Menu#
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#>=1)
IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeterGroup "Menu"][!HideMeterGroup "Tile"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!HideMeterGroup "Menu"][!HideMeterGroup "Tile"][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1
Which you did and works perfectly, now this is the code for an image that, once clicked on, closes the menu and starts the program:

Code: Select all

[Multy2]
Meter=image
ImageName=Tile.B2.png
X=110
Y=20
w=1920
h=1080
Group=Tile | Multy2
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["S:\Games\Riot\League Of Legends\LeagueClient.exe"][!HideMeterGroup "Tile"][!HideMeterGroup "Menu"][!Redraw]
Now, the problem is that once clicked, the program starts and the menu closes, but when i use the button combination again to show up the menu, i have to do it twice, because the code hides the menu and doesn't set the menu variable to 0. i tried to switch the !hidemeter thing with:

Code: Select all

[!SetVariable Menu "(1-#Menu#)"][!UpdateMeasure "#CURRENTSECTION#"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureMenu"]
but it doesn't work. i don't know what i'm doing wrong, what should i do to set menu variable to 0 after clicking the program? thanks

Try this: LeftMouseUpAction=["S:\Games\Riot\League Of Legends\LeagueClient.exe"][!SetVariable Menu "0"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureMenu"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureToggle"].
The posted !SetVariable bangs isn't the best solution, because when clicking the [Multy2] meter, the menu always has to closed. That's why I'd set the value of the Menu variable not to (1-#Menu#), but to 0. This closes the menu (through the [MeasureMenu] measure). If you're using the (1-#Menu#) value to set the variable to, the meter uses dynamic variables (the value of the Menu variable is changing dynamically), so a DynamicVariables=1 option has to be added to the meter. But that's not even needed, being useless. Setting the variable to 0 is completely enough and doesn't require to set the dynamic variables.
But there are two other problems as well, with the posted piece of code:
  • The !Execute bang is deprecated and you don't have to use it. Remove it.
  • Instead of LeftMouseDownAction, better is to use LeftMouseUpAction. Here you can find out why.
