Calc and Dynamic Colours

[mazty]

Hi, I'm trying to make a skin to monitor server status and activity:

Code: Select all

[Server_Status_Parser]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser.dll
Url=https://api.eveonline.com/server/ServerStatus.xml.aspx/
RegExp="(?siU)Open>(.*)<.*Players>(.*)<"
UpdateRate=300
StringIndex=1

[Measure_Server_Status]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser.dll
Url=[Server_Status_Parser]
StringIndex=1
Substitute="True":"Online", "False":"Maintenance"

[Server_Status]
MeasureName=Measure_Server_Status
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=styleServer
DynamicVariables=1
X=150
Y=35

[Measure_Players]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser.dll
Url=[Server_Status_Parser]
StringIndex=2

[MeterPlayers]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=Measure_Players
MeterStyle=styleLeftText
X=150
Y=55

I want the colour of the status to change when the server population is 0, but for some reason, the calc always returns the value of 0, even though MeterPlayers does return the correct value for server population:

Code: Select all

[Calc_Players]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[Measure_Players]
DynamicVariables=1
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Server_Status FontColor 248,114,023,255

Any ideas why MeterPlayers works and yet the Calc doesn't? Thanks.

First of all, you don't need an extra Calc. Simply use the IfActions on the WebParser measure. Second, you need to use !SetOption when the value is above zero.

Something like this:

Code: Select all

[Measure_Players]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser.dll
Url=[Server_Status_Parser]
StringIndex=2
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Server_Status FontColor 248,114,023,255
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption Server_Status FontColor 255,255,255,255

Also, in this case, Server_Status does not need DynamicVariables=1.

Thanks that works wonderfully
