Skin not moving correctly

[FoxInTheClouds]

Hello, I am new to Rainmeter skin creation. I am working on a skin with an animated image moving across the screen. I am having issues getting the skin to move. The log triggers correctly, but the move only works once.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update = 100

[Animation]
UpdateDivider=3
Measure=Calc
Formula=Animation < 2 ? 2 : (Animation < 5 ? Animation + 1 : 2)
ifEqualValue=4
ifEqualAction=[!Move (#CURRENTCONFIGX#+10) (#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#/2)][!Log "test123"]

[MushroomCharacter]
Meter=Image
ImagePath=#@#Animations
ImageName=frame_0000[Animation].png
DynamicVariables=1
W=600

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try enclosing everything in the Formula between brackets and remove spaces (this is unlikely to be the cause, but sometimes helps). The likely cause is missing the DynamicVariables=1 line in the Animation measure. The #CURRENTCONFIGX# and similar built-in variables need it.

Dynamic variables fixed it, thank you for the help!

You're welcome - nice to see a beginner boldly writing the code from scratch according to preferences.
