evaluating variables in the status window
|
Hello all, my first time posting, please be gentle with me 
I have a lovely status window in which I post the status of various buffs/shields, which are stored in variables. All this works perfectly, but I'm trying to get %if (or #IF) to work so that the color of the text displaying the variable will change depending on the state. I would like it to display the word "OFF" in red, and "ON" in green.
I have tried various ways to get something like the following to work:
Shield: %if(@shield="OFF", <color red>@shield</color>,<color green>@shield</color>)
to no avail. Is it even possible to evaluate variables in the status window? If so, can somebody show me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! |

Try this:
| Code: |
| Shield: %if(@shield="OFF", %concat("<color red>",@shield,"</color>"),%concat("<color green>",@shield,"</color>") |

Hmm...tried that and got this:
Shield: %if(@shield="OFF", %concat("",@shield,""),%concat("",@shield,"")
See invis:@sight
Resist:@resist
Strengthen:@strengthen
Barrier:@barrier
You see it gave me back the literal string, which was the problem I'd been having, plus it turn all the rest of my variable into literal strings too. Weird. Thoughts? |

In the trigger that you set the value of the variable with try this:
for the off trigger
| Code: |
| #var shield "<c red>Off</c>" |
for the on trigger
| Code: |
| #var shield "<c green>On</c>" |
or something similar. just add the color codes to the variable when it's set. |

I have multiple status windows that use @variables..
| Code: |
| %if(%db(@prots,greater),%db(@prots,greater_name) " " %eval(@timer-%db(@prots,greater_start))~(%db(@prots,greater_history)~),%ansi(red,dark)%db(@prots,greater_name) " Off"%ansi(reset))@test123 |
| Code: |
%if(%db(@prots,iw),%db(@prots,iw_name) " " %eval(@timer-%db(@prots,iw_start))~(%db(@prots,iw_history)~),%ansi(red,dark)%db(@prots,iw_name) " Off"%ansi(reset))@test123
|
This one is actually on the Status Bar.
| Code: |
| <send 'scrollfound=""'>@scrollfound</send> |
the @test123 thing is a variable that I have oscillating with "" and " " every 5 seconds (using a 5 second alarm) which allows my status window to update my timers every 5 seconds.. (only way i've seen to do this? |
