3rd SetOption from IfActions?

[Seahorse]

I am using this code to toggle a boxes colour, in short there are 12 of them and they are grey until it is their turn to light up which they do for a second before turning grey again:

Code: Select all

[CalcCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(CalcCounter%12)+1

[CalcBox1]
Measure=CALC
Formula=(CalcCounter=1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour2#
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour1#

[CalcBox2]
..etc...etc...

This works perfectly.

What I want to do is use IfBelowValue to generate a 3rd colour which also toggles on once every 11 seconds which 'chases' the first 'lit up' box, something like IfEqualValue=(0-1) which doesn't work. Neither does changing it to =2 for [CalcBox1] 3 for [CalcBox2] etc - though it does work the first time you refresh. I've tinkered for a bit now but I am not sure if either my logic is wrong, or if I can't actually use IfBelowValue in this way?

This is how it currently looks.

Code: Select all

[CalcBox1]
Measure=CALC
Formula=(CalcCounter=1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour2#
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour1#
IfBelowValue=2
IfBelowAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour3#

Code: Select all

[CalcBox1]
Measure=CALC
Formula=(CalcCounter=1) ? 2 : ((CalcCounter=0) ? 1 : 0 )
IfAboveValue=1
IfAboveAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour2#
IfEqualValue=1
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour3#
IfBelowValue=1
IfBelowAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour1#

Equivalent to:

Code: Select all

if (CalcCounter=1) then
    2
else
    if (CalcCounter=0) then
        1
    else
        0
    end
end

I think I understand the logic, however I am not seeing Colour3 at all, for testing I am using:

Code: Select all

;Grey - background
Colour1=51,51,51,255

;White - Light on
Colour2=255,255,255,255

;Light Blue - Chasing light
Colour3=102,204,255,255

So everything is grey except the box that is white, and nothing is blue.

Code: Select all

[CalcBox1]
Measure=CALC
Formula=(CalcCounter=1) ? 2 : ((CalcCounter=0) ? 1 : 0 )
IfAboveValue=1
IfAboveAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour2#
IfEqualValue=1
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour3#
IfBelowValue=1
IfBelowAction=!SetOption Box1 SolidColor #Colour1#

[CalcBox2]
Measure=CALC
Formula=(CalcCounter=2) ? 2 : ((CalcCounter=0) ? 1 : 0 )
IfAboveValue=1
IfAboveAction=!SetOption Box2 SolidColor #Colour2#
IfEqualValue=1
IfEqualAction=!SetOption Box2 SolidColor #Colour3#
IfBelowValue=1
IfBelowAction=!SetOption Box2 SolidColor #Colour1#

So nothing is IfEqualValue=1 we get no blue?

That was just a demonstration of the formula syntax. You'll need to fill in your own colors and conditions accordingly. (Your CalcCounter will never equal 0, for instance.)

/my bad, totally misunderstood what you were demonstrating. I have wrapped my head around it now and am fixing the conditions, thanks again.
