Axis assignment and command delayed

[astrograppa]

Hi Pete,

when I set up an axis in more zone on the right-hand of the "Axis assignment", I need that the command is produced only if the value of the axis remains for some time (for example 1/2 sec) in the range, otherwise any command should not come out.

Why in this section the LUA commands don't work?

Thanks

The detection is based on normal polling rates on the joystick. but if the axis values are changing, any very small zone could be missed. You probably need to widen the zones. You could try increasing the poll rate (descrease the poll interval parameter) but take care or you risk affecting FS performance.

Please explain. Who says they don't? The internal handling is the same for assignments no matter where they are made.

In this example, the LUA command work in the buttons , but it does not work in the axis. Why?

I don't know. should be okay. i'll check here and get back to you.

Can you please tell me exactly what version of FSUIPC you are using, just in case there are differences?

FSUIPC version is: 3.989e copy registered

I've tried all sorts of combinations here with FSUIPC4 and it works fine there. I'm just loading up FS9 to try there ...

.. Yes, you are correct. There's a bug in what should be pretty much identical code in FSUIPC3!

I'll attend to it directly.

In fact, I use FS2004.

Do you correct the error the next update?

Thanks

That's why I needed to test in FS9. It works okay in FSX with FSUIPC4. ;-)

FS9 = FS2004.

It is corrected already. It was a typo. Please see the Download Links subforum. Download FSUIPC 3.989q.

WOW, you are very quick!!

excellent service!

Tomorrow I try the new release.... now I'm not at home.

In this setup, the command should go out only if the value of the axis remains inside for more than a certain time, otherwise it must be produced no command (i.e. axis value 6000 for 100 msec, no exit command; axixs value 6000 for 500 msec command LUA 5).

how can I do?

I can only think of two ways to do this:

1. You could, in the Lua plugin, have an ipc.sleep for 100 mSecs, then, before doing the action, check one of the Lua flags for that plugin. If it is set, don't perform the action. In FSUIPC assignments program the exit from the zone to set that flag.

or

2.Just as above, but program the exit from the zone to Kill the Lua plug in.

The second isn't a "nice" way though, so try the first.

Thanks for the information, Pete.

I tried the "2" but not working well....

I want to try the "1" but I don't know the LUA command for read the axis.

In my case is: joy 1 axis Y. Can you give me an example of the LUA programming?

Thanks

Fabio

Why do you want to read the axis? I'm now confused. If you aren't already reading the axis why should you want to to implement these changes?
