XPOSD Displaying Payloads

[vynce]

I have been having some problems with XPOSD displaying payloads (or variables which are deleted too quickly). I think that the payload data is being removed from memory before XPOSD has a chance to copy/display it.

Here is a GML showing this problem: xposd_test.gml (http://vynce.home.mchsi.com/girder/xposd_test.gml)

If you press F5 on the "Call OSD" command, sometimes "|Text|" will be displayed, other times just "||" will be displayed. "|Text|" should always be displayed.

I tried your GML, and get the same results. If I do the little trick of having a script first take another variable and stuff it with the pld1, then no problems.

So rather than:


XPOSD command with [pld1]
-->EventString

Do:


Multi-group
Script (set variable temp=pld1)
XPOSD command with [temp]
--> EventString

And all is well. Not sure if this is a Girder bug or an XP OSD bug (I somehow suspect the latter), but since the workaround is easy enough, I guess it's not a big issue.
