Good afternoon. Question about OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES property identifier of graphical objects... I wrote this script to create a Horizontal Line graphical object (see below).
Question: Why, although the ObjectSet(object_name,OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES,PERIOD_H1) function explicitly states that the object should display ONLY on timeframe H1, the created object also displays on timeframes (at least) H4, M30, M15.
https://docs.mql4.com/ru/constants/objects/visible
Another constant is OBJ_PERIOD_H1
Yes, thank you it helped... But I'd like to understand why ObjectSet(object_name,OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES,PERIOD_H1) option doesn't work (as it should)? Is it glitches in the language itself?
i.e. while the current bar[0] is being built the previous one is being defined
As an option:

De facto both PERIOD_H1 and OBJ_PERIOD_H1 are just an alpha substitution of some numeric value.
OBJ_PERIOD_H1 = 0x0010 (for current build) = 0001 0000 (binary)
PERIOD_H1 = 60 (for this build) = 0011 1100 (binary)
As it is easy to replace, you accidentally put 4 timeframes instead of one - H4, H1, M30 and M15
And instead of calling ObjectSet(object_name,OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES,0x0010) (which you wanted to do) you have called
ObjectSet(object_name,OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES,0x3C).
what is Time[0] and how does it affect 1 time plus ?! just a little confused...

Time[0] is the opening time of the most recent (current) bar. As soon as a new bar comes, it changes.
Type Time in MetaEditor and press F1 for details

I'll read it now! Thank you very much!
Then don't forget to look at iTime()
