[2.14] %alarm not working in Status Bar |
I've created the following alarm through a trigger, yet, when I want to display the time left before the alarm fires upon the status bar, it's not being showing the true time but a "-1".
Quote: |
Alarms:
+1200 -> #echo *** Testing Alarm *** [in 8:36]
|
Alarm Setup:
Code: |
#ALARM "testingalarm" {+1200} {
#echo *** Testing Alarm ***
}
|
Status Bar Value:
Code: |
%alarm(testingalarm)
|
I have no problem just putting an #ECHO %alarm(testingalarm) through the command line, which is returning a value greater than -1. |

This works for me. Make sure you have the name of the typed correctly and that the alarm is enabled.

Also, keep in mind that the status bar is only updated if a *variable* used in it is updated. So the status bar isn't going to constantly update as the value of %alarm changes...you'll need to have some other variable in the status bar that gets updated to cause the status bar to refresh.
