Changing / Setting Girder Variable from NR! How!

[danward79]

Hi All,

I am having a stupid moment.

I know it is possible but how do you set a girder variable to a value from NR?

[Mastiff]

I think you mean this:


NetRemote.SendLabel("NetRemoteVariableYouWant",GirderVariableYouSend)

Or am I wrong?

[Rob H]

Yep, you're wrong. That's the wrong way round ;)

As I told Dan in chat earlier, you need to get NR to execute a girder action that passes the value in a function.

If it's a global variable then you can pass the variable name too and store the value using


_G[varname] = value

in a suitable function.

thanks guy's,

I looked thru some of my old code, and as Rob says I need to use a function. Been so long since I did anything I can't remember how to do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops: :cry: :evil: :x

When I looked, I remembered how I did it before, like this....


NetRemote.ExecuteAction(-1,0,1,"Timer.SendDetails("..string.sub(NetRemote.GetVariable('TimerList'), 7, 7)..")");

I then seperated it out in girder as I needed.

Is that right Rob!?

Man, Babies have stopped my brain working!

Yep, that's the sort of thing

This looks like what I'm trying to do, but I don't follow. Is the command you reference implemented in a lua script?

I want to send the current JRMC zone from NR to girder. For example, when I click on my next zone button, I'd like to send the JRMC zone status to girder.

Hi Matt,

Yeah you need your button to run the lua code in NR, to send an event to Girder, which then needs to be used in a girder lua script.

If you need to send a payload it needs to "de-coded" in girder to be of any use, as you can only send one payload.
