Hi All,

I posted this in mpf users but i'll do it here as well.

I have read a few threads in here and can get this to work with hard coded variables, but when I try and make it dynamic it crashes mc

So I have a show.yaml with

#show_version=5

• duration: -1
  slides:
  mode_base_started:
  widgets:
  - type: rectangle
  color: red
  anchor_x: 0
  anchor_y: 0
  x: 50%
  y: 50%
  z: 500
  width: (bar_width)
  height: 30
  animations:
  update_boss_width:
  - property: width
  value: 50

and in my config I have:

show_player:
mode_boss_started:
boss_progress:
show_tokens:
bar_width: 300
...

event_player:
shot_hit:
- update_boss_width

so this works and sets the bar width to 50

when i try and add a dynamic value into the width property from my config is when it is crashing.

show yaml

    animations:
      update_boss_width:
        - property: width
          value: (new_bar_width)

config

event_player:
shot_hit:
- boss_hit
- update_boss_width

variable_player:
boss_hit:
new_bar_width: 50

this crashes

any help would be great.

What does the crash tell? Run with -t or check logs

So the log is telling me its is updating the variable
INFO : EventManager : Event: ======'player_new_bar_width'====== Args={'value': 400, 'prev_value': 300, 'change': 100, 'player_num': 1}
EventManager: Event: ======'player_new_bar_width'====== Args={'value': 400, 'prev_value': 300, 'change': 100, 'player_num': 1}

but when the update_bar_width event triggers I get:

EventManager: Event: ======'update_boss_width'====== Args={'priority': 0}
kivy: Base: Leaving application in progress...

Excepted an event parameter player_new_bar_width

which seems like a similar error from the other threads that was fixed in a release.

Ok so I took what I said and passed the value in the event player, and surprise surprise it works...

Next issue...how to return the current width parameter of the widget???
