Calc: "vFadeUpdate" is unknown

[Some Guy]

I have a basic variable and Calc set up like so:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=100
OnRefreshAction=[!SetVariable mFadeUpdate 0]

[Variables]
vFadeUpdate=1

[mFadeUpdate]
Measure=Calc
Formula=mFadeUpdate + vFadeUpdate

The goal is to have mFadeUpdate increase by vFadeUpdate every cycle. However, whenever I refresh, I get the error in the title and mFadeUpdate stays at 0. How do I fix this?

Variables need to be enclosed in their special ## tags, only measures don't need any special tags in Calc's Formula field (second to last paragraph of the first section)

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=100
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Variables]
vFadeUpdate=1

[mFadeUpdate]
Measure=Calc
Formula=mFadeUpdate + #vFadeUpdate#

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
MeasureName=mFadeUpdate
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1

That OnRefreshAction you had won't do anything, as mFadeUpdate is not a variable, and can't be altered with !SetVariable.

Thanks! Everything's working now
