Thread: Is there way to "blink" two different images when an indicator is "ON"

yes you can, just point the indicator for one of desired images, use an external batch or script to continuously swap the name between the first image and the second image... it will looks like what you want.

When the indicator is "ON," I want it blink two alternating images when using "INDICATORCODE:B" in the skin code.

Can I accomplish this using an extension plugin?

Yes, instead of returning "True" in the ext pi, just return the path to one of the two images and then just use a bool var to toggle between the two paths when that ind func is called from RR. You'd also need to know when the ind would be off so that you coud return "False"

Quick sample I through together for ya.

Code:

Dim IndToggle as Boolean
Dim IndOn As Boolean


Public Function ReturnIndicatorEx(IND As String) As String

    'Default (No Action)
    'ONLY return something else IF AND ONLY IF you process that code
    ReturnIndicatorEx = ""

    Select Case LCase(IND)
        Case "myindicator"
        	If IndOn Then
			If IndToggle Then
				ReturnIndicatorEx = <PATH TO FIRST IMG>
			Else
				ReturnIndicatorEx = <PATH TO SECOND IMG>
			End If
			IndToggle = Not IndToggle

		Else
			ReturnIndicatorEx = "False"
			' If you always want the first img to show when it turns back on then use the line below
			'IndToggle = True
		End If
    End Select
End Function

Suh-weet.

I was thinking of using images, but couldn't figure out how to toggle b/w the two.

TY!

EDIT: Worked like a charm...
