OnChangeAction fires before Substitute?

[AlC]

Hey guys,

I have a little question about OnChangeAction. Does OnChangeAction fires before the measure gets substituted?
I have this litte skin and normally it should fire every 10 minutes "why", but it fires every minute "why". In About the value stays 10 minute, it doesn't change the value however I get every minute "why".

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
 Update=1000

[mMinute1]
 Measure=Time
 Format="%M"
 RegExpSubstitute=1
 Substitute="([0-5])[0-9]":"\1" 
 OnChangeAction=[!Log Why]

[MeterImage]
 Meter=Image

As far as I am aware, Substitute does not "change" the underlying "value" of a measure it is on. The substitute is done when the value is "used" by some other element (another measure, a meter, the "Skin" log, IfCondition, IfMatch, etc.)

So the OnChangeAction is working on the actual measured value, which in the case of minutes will be once a minute.

Yes, except Lua. Lua takes the underlying value of the measure.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
 Update=1000

[mMinute1]
 Measure=Time
 Format="%M"
 RegExpSubstitute=1
 Substitute="([0-5])[0-9]":"\1" 
 OnChangeAction=[!Log "OCA: The Value is [mMinute1]"]
 DynamicVariables=1

[mScriptM1]
 Measure=Script
 ScriptFile=Test.lua
 UpdateDivider=60
 
[MeterImage]
 Meter=Image

Code: Select all

function Initialize()
end

function Update()
	local Minute1 = SKIN:GetMeasure('mMinute1');
	m1 = Minute1:GetValue();
	print('LUA: Value is '..m1)
end

It was a little bit strange, because the value in About didn't changed, but the OnChangeAction fired every time.
