UTC (GMT) hand not working outside Creator

Facer Creator
1

I made a face with a UTC (GMT) hand. I used the same formula for rotation that is working in past faces.

((#DUH#)*15)

It works correctly in Creator, but stays at 0 in View. Note that View does not show the arrows for normal, fast, and fastest preview animation. It does not work on my watch with the latest WearOS version.

I can not Edit this face. It does not load in multiple browsers, cleaned out cache or not.

Must be something new? I check a face with a GMT hand made two months ago and it works properly in the View screen.

Made a duplicate of the GMT face made a few months ago and simply swapped artwork. Same problem with this one as one made from scratch.

I had issues in the past too.

You can use a calculation from EPOC:

24h rotation:

(#DNOW#/1000/60/60*360/24)

12h rotation:

(#DNOW#/1000/60/60*360/12)

Indeed, I think that’s the only way to do it in WFS. In fact, I used that for the WFF version that does work. I was just trying to use the nice expression provided.

Actually, I may have added the GMT hand as an hour hand and used timezone Dakar GMT+0

(Why Samsung can’t be bothered to make a UTC timezone I have no idea.)

One more time then. It’s not a terribly complex face.

I thought I understood that equation. At least, I recognize what all the values are for.

Works as expected for regular hour hand movement based on UTC epoch time.

I can’t seem to come up with a way to make it yield jump hour values. I’m not putting the floor operation in the right place or something like that.

Used the standard formula since it was almost what I was after. Didn’t trust saving it as just a draft, so I published it. Same issue with View, no advance arrow. Display behaves like an uploaded .aab file does.

Not sure what’s going on.

A couple days ago Facer was not recognizing `$(accelerometerRawY())>8.0?100:0$` and then yesterday it started to work again. There must be a lot of changes going on the back end of Facer that we don’t know about.

@tudza That ((#DUH#)*15) for hand rotation does not work on my watch #DUH# Shows fine and the DNOW one shows fine . Like text box not taking multiple Conditionals . Shame .

Ah, one of the points behind the test face you posted.

Oh well.

Wether it is part of the whitling down or just an oversight in development .

Since this is showing up in newly made faces, given one I posted on the 21st of this month (Sept) is working normally, I’m assuming the Facer folk are working on things.

Does not show up in past faces, does not show up in Creator, so the part where creator input is compiled into the final watch face to be posted for general view and downloading?

Since there is ample proof it’s not just me, I’ll sit back and wait for the dust to settle.
