Hi Corey,
Quick question as I think the answer is no!
I am trying to have a flashing status message saying the blinds are increasing like this:
**** Blinds Increasing In ****
<clock>
But it only shows the clock time at trigger point. Is is possible to have the message countdown with the main clock?
Cheers Bud!

If it's anything like the activating sounds during countdown timer, I believe that yes it would be possible, though I don't know for sure either way, nor have I attempted to do so...

No, there's not a way to do this. The Overlay message system is built like a queue, and once a message is dropped into that queue to be displayed, it isn't updated (it's static; non-changing).
But you could do something similar in a number of ways. For example, you could add another Property Group to the Clock cell that only displays once the clock gets below a certain threshold. While the normal clock cell just says:
<clock>
The Property Group you create would say:
**** Blinds Increasing In ****
<clock>
So basically the words "**** Blinds Increasing In ****" get added to the screen when the clock hits that threshold.
-
yeh I understand. I thought that was the case just wanted to make sure incase I had missed something.
In the end I settled for a flashing message saying the same but instead of <clock> i put in 2 minutes then a new event with 1 minute.
Thanks for your help Corey.
