[Solved] How tu run a Measure ONLY after a time

[Bada]

Hi there !
I'd like to run a Measure ONLY atfer a time (3 sec), because while 'IfAction' give the same result, it doesn't update...
Is there something like 'Runtime=3' ?
Or a way to run measure in a specific order ?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. You want a measure to trigger an IfxxxAction, and once it does, you want that action to be executed every 3 seconds until the measure value causes the IfxxxAction to fail?

No, I want to run the Measure calc with the IfxxxAction only 3 sec after the refresh of the skin.
The skin is ran, on the Measure with IfxxxAction start only after 3 sec.

OR, a way to force the Measure, 'cause IfxxxAction doesn't run again while it gives the same result. . .

Better ?

Not exactly better, but in any case, just going by what you literally said, here is a skin that will execute the IfxxxxAction on a measure only three seconds after the skin is loaded or refreshed. It will still obey the rules that it is only executed once while the condition remains "true".

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeasureCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=100
IfEqualValue=100
IfEqualAction=Play Sounds\NOTIFY.WAV
Disabled=1

[MeasureWait]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(MeasureWait % 3) + 1
ifEqualValue=3
IfEqualAction=!EnableMeasure MeasureCalc

The second part of your explanation I don't really get. No, there is no way to "force" a measure using an IfxxxxAction to fire the action if the value has not changed from "true" to "false" and back to "true" again. That is just how actions work.

This would be a way to do it every 3 seconds for example.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[c3sec]
Measure=Calc
Formula=c3sec%3+1
IfAboveValue=1
IfAboveAction=!EnableMeasure cCalc
IfBelowValue=2
IfBelowAction=!DisableMeasure cCalc

[cCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=5+5
IfAboveValue=7
IfAboveAction=Play Sounds\alarm_buzzer.wav

Generally said, you have to enable a measure to fire a bang if the measure is always true.

Perfect !
Thanks a lot !
