showon
I have a setup with a piston group called "1-M". Now, I want a hollow square to be displayed only when the pistons are fully extended. I wrote this piece of code:

graphic:icon:position
check:piston:1-M:true
#showon:0.9:1
position:0.2,0.19:r
size:0.35,0.2:r
icon:SquareHollow
gradient:0.9:255,0,0
gradient:1:0,255,0

However, when I uncomment the showon line the code does not initialize. I tried a gradient then (so that the square changes its color). That doesn't seem to work either. It just stays green.

graphic:bar:position
check:piston:1-M:true
style:segments:false
position:0.55,0.2:r
size:0.3,0.1:r
gradient:0.0:255,0,0
gradient:1.1:0,255,0

A bar graphic however seems to work... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

The configuration "showon" is replaced by "visibility[github.com]". In your case you need to setup it as following: visibility:>=:0.98

You can check the value for the interface "position" by using the values. Maybe I have an issue here. So that the values aren't set properly. The variable is "ratiopos". Example

graphic:text:position
check:piston:1-M:true
text:Pos = %ratiopos%

I take a look on it :)

Hi,
thanks for the reply! It works perfectly with this setting. Here is the full config in case you want to include it somewhere as an example:
