Help with IF statements

[riciuxas]

I'm trying to take measure of time, then have one second further and one second back - so in total it should display 3 clocks. When the current clock reaches 59, the future clock should show 00 instead of 60. Problem is, it drops to 0 and never moves again. I think it just never resets the statement value, but I have no idea where should I go from there. Code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,0


[MeasureMin1]
Measure=Time
Format=%#M

[MeasureSec1]
Measure=Time
Format=%#S

[MeasureHrs1]
Measure=Time
Format=%H

[MeasureMin2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureA+3

[MeasureSec-]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureSec1-1

[MeasureSec+]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureSec1+1
IfAboveValue=58
IfAboveAction=[!SetOption MeasureSec+ Formula 00][!Redraw]
IfBelowValue=59
IfBelowValue=[!SetOption MeasureSec+ Formula MeasureSec1+1][!Redraw]



[MeterText1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureHrs1
MeasureName2=MeasureMin1
MeasureName3=MeasureSec-

X=20
Y=5
W=200
H=50
FontFace=Adobe Gothic Std B
FontColor=255,255,255,127
FontSize=25
AntiAlias=1
Text="%1:%2:%3"

[MeterText2]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureHrs1
MeasureName2=MeasureMin1
MeasureName3=MeasureSec1

X=5
Y=45
W=200
H=50
FontFace=Adobe Gothic Std B
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontSize=25
AntiAlias=1
Text="%1:%2:%3"

[MeterText3]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureHrs1
MeasureName2=MeasureMin1
MeasureName3=MeasureSec+

X=20
Y=85
W=200
H=50
FontFace=Adobe Gothic Std B

It seems like you would want the clock to show +1 sec in time, right? In your example, even if it worked, it would show:

• Past: 23:59:58
  Now: 23:59:58
  Future: 23:59:00

you can use timestamps to make it correct:

Code: Select all

[MeasureNow]
Measure=Time
;default format is %H:%M:%S so it's fine

[Measure-1s]
Measure=Time
Timestamp=([MeasureNow:Timestamp]-1)
DynamicVariables=1

[Measure+1s]
Measure=Time
Timestamp=([MeasureNow:Timestamp]+1)
DynamicVariables=1

Well, it is working as intended, almost, it shows:

11:31:57
11:31:58
11:31:59

problem occurs when it reaches 58-59-60/00, because I don't know how to skip a number. I'll try it your way and report how it goes!

EDIT: SUPER! Thank you for the help! Can you tell me what was wrong with those IFs?

Altough NighthawkSLO's solution with timpstamp is the best, you can also make it without the TimeStamp option. For that, in your initial code, you have to:
1. Remove the IfAboveValue, IfAboveAction, IfBelowValue and IfBelowValue options from the [MeasureSec+] measure. You don't need them. Instead modify the Formula of this measure to: Formula=(( MeasureSec1 + 1 ) % 60 ). With the original formula you'll have troubles when the number of seconds is 59: in this moment the (MeasureSec1+1) formula returns 60, while =(( MeasureSec1 + 1 ) % 60 ) returns 0 (% is the remainder of the division).
2. Also modify the Formula of the [MeasureSec-] measure to: Formula=((( MeasureSec1 - 1 ) < 0 ) ? 59 : ( MeasureSec1 - 1 )).

And two more things: first, you can add the leading zeros to the seconds and minutes. To do that, remove the #, from the [MeasureMin1] and [MeasureSec1] measures and add the following options to the [MeasureSec-] and [MeasureSec+] measures:

Code: Select all

RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^(\d{1})$":"0\1"

Second, the [MeasureMin2] measure is useless, you can remove it (at least if you don't have unposted sections).
