Just a note about the syntax for the ! (negation) operator. It has to be enclosed in single quotes, like:

Parent.ShineyTestButton.Activated='!'Parent.Info.Visible

Can I run counters?

Example:

I have a label displayed on a window. Let's call it 'TotalLabel'

If TotalLabel.Localtext is '0', then I will see a '0' on the window.

How do I increment that by 1?

Does "Parent.TotalLabel.Localtext=Parent.TotalLabel.Localtext + 1" work?

Any existing windows out there I can look at for examples?

HOW IN GODS NAME DO YOU GET A WORKING AND OR STATEMENT :( I give up! :confused::confused::confused::confused::(:(:(:(

As far as I found you can only ever do one operation at the same time, so you can't do any kind of nested statements including two comparisons. At least I gave up trying as well. So you need to do two separate comparisons.

Nicely done.

I have access to the code and didn't even know this existed. So I went into the UIScriptEngine code tonight but didn't find any other secrets treasures.

Operators:
= - assignment
== != - comparison
< <= - less than
> >= - greater than
&& || - AND OR
! - negative
+ - * / - math
## - concat
?: - conditional
$ - assignment. calls "/<lhs> <rhs>"

Did anyone ever figure out the syntax for the conditional operator? If not, the spacing rules and () syntax of ## might be a clue.

So that doesn't exist or just not working properly? I just want to do if x= y || z

Oh no that works fine. Example:

y=(a == 10)
z=(a == 5)
COND=y || z
x=COND ? true : false

Will be true for values of a = 5 or 10 and false for anything else.

OK I was trying to do stuff like

Cond= a==10 || a==5

with that being said would this be a valid statment

y=(a == 10)
z=(a == 5)
x=(COND ? true : false) COND=y || z

And this?
x=(COND ? true : false) COND=y || z y=(a == 10) z=(a == 5)

trying to keep it all on one line for a change instead of pressing return 1000x

That's basically what I tried to express above (and what should be mentioned earlier in this thread), you can't combine different operations (here == and ||), the parser doesn't pick it up correctly, you need to put them in separate statements that you reference via variables. You can combine similar operations though, so COND = a || b || c || d works.

I find it easier to read with linebreaks but both ways work, it's purely cosmetic. :)

All my code is normally done with line breaks but for this I just want to keep it on one line, plus I was just curious after trying for so long!!! thanks for the help.

I hope it's ok that I add code examples that I've made work. If you know something I don't in terms of having to be careful with /GameData.General.Time let me know.

Concatenation

Code purpose:
To concatenate the AA Experience string with square brackets, allowing e.g. AA Experience to be displayed in square brackets next to AA Points like so: "173 [43.5%]".

Code example:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>



<Page Name="Main">

  

  <Text Name="AAXPValue" DynamicData="/GameData.Achievement.ExperienceCurrent" />

  <Text Name="Init" DynamicData="/GameData.General.Time" DynamicDataFilter="FFFE" OnTextChanged="Parent.DisplayArea.AAXPDisplay.Text=('[') ## Parent.AAXPValue.LocalText ## (']')" />

  

  <Page Name="DisplayArea">

    <Text Name="AAXPDisplay" LocalText="N/A" />

  </Page>

  

</Page>

Code output:

Code:

[100%]

Code explanation:

AAXPValue contains the DynamicData string that we want to concat.
Init is an idea that I've borrowed from one of Drums xml files, and edited for a simpler purpose.
Init uses the DynamicData called GameData.General.Time for the sole purposes of triggering OnTextChanged, which then makes our desired change to AAXPDisplay.

Code note:

You will have to add the required Page and Text properties to Main, DisplayArea, and AAXPDisplay. I removed these properties for the purpose of keeping the code easy to read and understand.
Don't swap out the square brackets with parenthesis. Your EQ2 client will crash if you try to run it with parenthesis.
AA Points were not added in the code example to avoid confusion.

Pretty interesting that concatenating parenthesis in a string causes the game to crash, LOL. There might be a work around using like an ascii/unicode version of parenthesis instead, but not sure :)
