Gauges set to read the value %alarm(AlarmID) do not update.

Notes:
superheal is the ID of a 10 minute timer (+10:00)
Max = 60 seconds * 10 minutes * 1000 milliseconds = 600000
Max = 60 seconds * 1 minute * 1000 milliseconds = 60000

Well, I thought I figured it out and added "** Ignore... **' to this post title, but the adding of the quotes which I thought had fixed it, didn't... it just updated the gauge to the state the timer was when I saved the changes and went back to not updating.

zMud has a similar problem to this which I got around by forcing repaints of the buttons by having an alarm that pressed one of the gauges every 15 seconds. Otherwise, the gauges would update only when a gauge based off of a real variable updated.

The ones in CMUD, however, will only update if you edit the gauge and save. Then it updates to that moment and freezes again.

I think you just need a repaint command to go by every so often and re-check the gauges, but what do I know?

This is the same issue as the status bar item that you reported. Gauges only update when a variable used in the gauge changes.
