Printer Display, conditional if this, then that

[lightmaster]

This possibly already exists, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it if you can. I'd like to have conditional statements in the textbox used to generate the M117 codes for the printer display. Something like if there is an upcoming filament change, then display time left until filament change; else display estimated print completion time. I see the variables in red that would be needed to accomplish this, but I can't figure out how to do the conditional statement, if that's event possible right now.

Hi @lightmaster,
this is currently not possible. you set the variable in the output-pattern --> the value is shown.

I like the idea, but the first question that comes to my mind is: how should be the userinterface to handle all combinations...maybe on the left side list all events that could appear and on the right side you allign such event with a text base condition.....

....do you have a suggestion about that?

I was thinking something much simpler, all text based within a larger text box. Something like:

{if [changefilamenttime_left] != ""} Filament change in [changefilamenttime_left] {else} Done in [printtime_left] {endif}

In this example, I'm not sure what [changefilamenttime_left]'s null value would actually be, but it would be adjusted such that it's only true if there is a filament change remaining.
