Conditional formatting of weather

Post by Raikuga »

I have a simple problem to solve..

My weather skin works fine, but when the wind measure reads "calm", the skin says "calmmph CALM" because it still displays the other measures. How do I make it so that when the wind strength measure reads "calm", it displays only that instead of the normal information? I've tried IfEqualMeasure="calm" and it didn't quite work.

I don't really think a code snippet is necessary for this, but here's the meter:

Code: Select all

[LabelCurrentWind]
Meter=String
MeasureName=CurrentWind
MeasureName2=CurrentWindDir
Meterstyle=DescStyle
Text="Wind: %1mph %2"
X=r
Y=R
W=20
H=20
when the measure CurrentWind reads "calm", I want it to instead be:

Code: Select all

[LabelCurrentWind]
Meter=String
MeasureName=CurrentWind
MeasureName2=CurrentWindDir
Meterstyle=DescStyle
Text="Wind: %1"
X=r
Y=R
W=20
H=20

You have to look at the measures.
Substitute="Calm":""

Add that to the where the wind i measured.
To not run in to a problem with having the speedunit, I have my skin set up so it shows "0km/h" instead of "Calmkm/h calm". It seems easier.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

I guess that would be an easier solution than complicating everything with conditionals...

Thanks for your help.
