Writing data to somewhere...

[Munkey]

I'm not sure where I'd like to write it, it doesn't have to be a perminant space. It's only for running inside Girder.

How would I input some data into a string, and so that I could later read it off using 'say' and the 'simple osd' systems.

I'd basically like to use it as a system status, so I can hit a button and it will tell me what setting the system is currently in.

Thanks,
Munkey

Hi

I am sure one of the experts will help you out, but if I understand you right you could use the motherboard monitor plugin, to get info for your system and put it into a variable. You can then use this with say.

How are you getting the data you want to put in a variable?

[Munkey]

I want to write it with a command. This is so that, when I hit say, turn Winamp Control On. It then writes, Function: Winamp Control. So I can call up [function] with a status report button.

I'd like to be able to use the data in say and OSD.

Thanks,
Munkey.

You would goto Girder/Variable Manipulation Script.

Enter.


WinAMPStatus = "Playing"



Then you can reference this variable in the Say plugin using

[WinAMPStatus]

NOTE: Once you get going with this, the best way to track WinAMP is using DVD Spy.

If you want to see what you can do with this, download the LCD Master program from the Download/Misc area.

Thanks!
Is there any more documentation on the variable manipulation script?
I have the problem that my MSI basically has a locked LCD, as MSI aren't releasing any code... :-(

Variable Manipulation Script = Lua.

See the lua sticky's above.
