help with time counter

[CarlotaN]

I have been able to insert

Code: Select all

[IsStopped]
...
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=1)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "MeterSeconds"][!HideMeter "TimeMeter"][!HideMeter "StopButton"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "MeterSeconds"][!ShowMeter "TimeMeter"][!ShowMeter "StopButton"][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

[IsPaused]
...
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "ContinueButton"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "ContinueButton"]
DynamicVariables=1

[IsStarted]
...
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "PauseButton"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "PauseButton"]
DynamicVariables=1

But it must include DynamicVariables=1 obviously, I have removed them from the buttons.

I still can't get it to work

Code: Select all

Fórmula = (( MeasureBar = 0 ) ? 599 : ( MeasureBar - 1 ))

It would be possible to achieve the effect of

Code: Select all

[MeasureBar]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(TimeLeft % 59) / 60

This would hide the delay or advance of each minute.

Thank you

[Yincognito]

A thousand thanks to both of you.
I'm going to try the code that Balala offers me and I'll tell you.



If you use HA, the roundline goes faster, a little faster than the seconds, but if you don't use it, it slows down much faster than the seconds. That's where the real problem is. After a few minutes, for example 07:30, the wheel is at 06:50 minutes.

I repeat, thank you very much and I will respond as soon as I can.

Oh, no need to thank me (at least, not yet), I was just asking the question being curious about what you meant. Your description clarifies it, but as you could notice in one of your replies, HA only alleviated the problem, so it looks like there's something else in the code which is the culprit for this.

Personally, in such a skin I wouldn't use plain Rainmeter for any kind of precision (i.e. under 1 second) timing, instead I would exclusively use the Lua script for this. I already have my own such script that does everything in that regard and will be included in a Timer skin in the next update of my skin suite, but I'm not sure how suited it would be for your case, so I think it's better to wait for balala's opinion and advice on it, for the time being.

[Yincognito]

Not really, even if he has offered a description after your post, which sounds weird in my opinion, but who knows. However what I wrote about the hardware acceleration, IS MY OPINION! I really believe HA might be useful in some cases, but just as well might be a problem in others. Over time I saw few examples of both cases. Don't want to offend anyone, however this is really my opinion.
End of this story, from my part...

I see. No need to get defensive about it, I know it's always your opinion, and nobody has been offended by anything - in this case, I was simply curious whether you were aware of some other issue with HA that I didn't know about, and wondered how it could affect a skin that should typically not be affected by it, that's all. Please, carry on, I wasn't disagreeing with your general opinion on HA, quite the contrary - sorry for the misunderstanding.

Fantastic! I will gladly wait for him to publish the Skin.
What I can't understand is that if it is used as a watch, it works exactly... Anyway, c'est la vie

Thanks in advance

"Him" being balala, right? Cause you might have to wait a long time till I publish mine, I'm not in a hurry...

If eventually needed, I could post my script later on, but let's just wait for what balala has to say, maybe he'll provide a solution that would make posting my script unnecessary.

[CarlotaN]

I'm very sure that Balala will have a remedy He already helped me once and I have faith that he will know what to do. But I will continue to pay attention to that timer that will be born one day.

There is another person who needs help, about a Euro converter... could someone help him?

Thanks a lot

Just did. Thanks for the info!

• [!DisableMeasure MeasureBar] => Disabled=1 => OK!!!

• Fórmula = (( MeasureBar = 0 ) ? 599 : ( MeasureBar - 1 )) => Does not show the round line

Make sure you're using the correct form of the option, not the one posted above. The correct form is Formula=(( MeasureBar = 0 ) ? 599 : ( MeasureBar - 1 )), but you have posted Fórmula = (( MeasureBar = 0 ) ? 599 : ( MeasureBar - 1 )). I am pretty sure you've did this mistake, because when I copied the code posted by you and replaced the Formula option of the [MeasureBar] measure with the correctly written option, the skin did work. So, make sure to use the not-miswritten option.
And there is one more thing to be taken into account. But this thing were present on the original version of the skin as well and was not altered by my. Namely I1m talking about the fact that the roundline becomes visible ONLY if the PauseTime variable is set to -1. But when ran, the skin rewrites this variable through the @Resources\Scripts\Timer.lua script file and it never goes back to -1. Accordingly after the first run of the skin (in fact after the first run of the script file), the roundline is never visible once again. But this was like this even on the original skin. Don't know what the intention of the author was, but this is another thing you should have to take care of, to get the roundline visible. Manually replacing the variable and refreshing the skin, fixes this issue (assuming the above described Formula issue is fixed as well).

• DynamicVariables=1 => In the cases [MeterSeconds], [TimeMeter] => it works. But it doesn't work for buttons.

Not sure I can follow what you mean by this.

• And finally it does not work

Code: Select all

[IsStopped]
...
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=1)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "MeterSeconds"][!HideMeter "TimeMeter"][!HideMeter "StopButton"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "MeterSeconds"][!ShowMeter "TimeMeter"][!ShowMeter "StopButton"][!Redraw]
...

[IsPaused]
...
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "ContinueButton"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "ContinueButton"]
...

[IsStarted]
...
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "PauseButton"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "PauseButton"]
...

Add the DynamicVariables=1 option to all of the above three measures ([IsStopped], [IsPaused] and [IsStarted]). Apply the bangs as described on my previous reply.

Just to make sure you don't have any mistake, here is the working code. Beside the described things, I did a few other small adjustments as well. Please give a try to this and let me know if it is working:

See that I commented out the Formula=(( MeasureBar + 1 ) % 600 ) form of the Formula option of the [MeasureBar] and used instead Formula=(( MeasureBar = 0 ) ? 599 : ( MeasureBar - 1 )). Since the previous version of the option is just commented out, you can easily replace it back with the original form, as you wish.

There is another person who needs help, about a Euro converter... could someone help him?

What Euro converter is? Am I missing something???

[Yincognito]

What Euro converter is? Am I missing something???

That was in reference to this post, where an "European" number format was desired. It's actually used by more than just Europe, but it originated there, hence the name.

[CarlotaN]

I am pretty sure you've did this mistake, because when I copied the code posted by you and replaced the Formula option of the [MeasureBar] measure with the correctly written option, the skin did work. So, make sure to use the not-miswritten option.

Ohhh!!! Absolutely right!!! To understand I have to activate the translator and it changed Formula to Fórmula

Add the DynamicVariables=1 option to all of the above three measures ([IsStopped], [IsPaused] and [IsStarted]). Apply the bangs as described on my previous reply.

Yes, I had already done it. I had already reported it in a post, and it actually works!

What Euro converter is? Am I missing something???

Someone asked and I didn't know what to answer. I already had a teacher by my side and no one answered him

Everything works OK!
Lastly, any solution to the round line time mismatch?
