Hi everyone. Long time listener, first time caller.
Some coding help/advise would be much appreciated.
I’m working with 4 to 5 VAR toggles (have to be toggles, not increments) but each VAR toggle has to zero the others.
So…
$#VAR_1#==1?130:-999$ would activate $#VAR_2#==0?130:-999$ and $#VAR_3#==0?130:-999$ and so on, in one line of code. Of course I could be attacking this from the wrong angle.
Still trying to get the hang of this code.
If your Var 1 2 3 etc are all in different positions on screen (which they probably are) try stacking VAR resets on top of your VAR.
So VAR1 toggle would have VAR2/3/4 reset under it. I dont know if that would work but worth a try on a test watch face. I have GW Ultra now so cannot test this.
The other area you could explore is the timestamp of each VAR
E.g.#VAR_1_T#
Each VAR timestamp will record when it was last activated so you could do comparisions on those maybe?
I’m trying to achieve the same functionality as this face. A weather button, a steps button, a BPM button etc that all toggle between each other and the main time display without crossing over each other.
I think you need alittle more than that Tom. If V1 V2 and v3 are all 1, then all 3 layers would be visible and it would not work. Need to use the V reset i think.
I’ve tested on my watch & yes it works in concept. But very glitchy/hit & miss. Sometimes works other times doesn’t.
I’m intrigued by Toms solution think the answer could be a mix of both. Do you mind sharing the code you used.
Thanks - Nick
@Bruno we are all intrigued with your beautiful navigation system. If you’d be so kind to share how you achieved the manoeuvre it would be a masterclass for us all and you would be sharing some love with the community! Thanks in advance.
Here a working example with a single button to switch between home, stopwatch, and weather. (inspection open). Buttons appear for stopwatch and weather and are only then active.
I admit that @Bruno 's watch face needs a bit more thought… using 3 buttons…
Thanks Tom and Jason. Thats it, problem solved. Ill play with these later when i get home.
Thanks guys, your knowledge, interest, will & time to help out is very much appreciated
Nick.
Some of you may know that using the stroke and glow options is buggy.
Well in the face below, I used 3 glow elements for the date behind the main date. I got the effect I wanted and the face seems to work.
I then went about creating a premium version with a stopwatch and others VAR toggles and increments. The stopwatch composed of 6 digits each with 3 glowing digits.
The result was that any tapping on the watch face took at least 2 seconds to react! Horrific!
So . Does it work Better without Stroke / Glow ? Perhaps we should start a Don’t Do Wiki . The equivalent of our Appendix . It is there but we don’t use it .
