Delayed actions in one macro

[madfred]

Hello,

How can I get a delay in actions combined in one macro?

Example:

Aircraft with two pitot heat switches.

I created one macro to control both switches.

Instead of them both switching at the same time, I would like to see the second switch move a few seconds after the first one.

Is there a way to do this? I went through the FSUIPC documents several times and even searched for a sollution on this forum, but could not find it.

I appreciate and constructive response

You'd need a small Lua plug-in instead of a macro. Just use ipc.control twice with an ipc.sleep between.

Hmm, Guess I now have to read up on how to use a lua plug-in.

Thx Pete, I will look in to that.

They are quite straightforward -- in factr more readable than macros. There are a lot of exaples provided in the package installed in your FSUIPC Documents folder (in the Modules folder), and even more contributed by Users in the User Contributions subforum.
