LUA - check a single bit of an offset

[Kaffeebart]

Hi there

i try to set a toggle switch for taxi lights.

I know how to check an complete offset for changes - it´s like that

event.offset("0D0C", "UW", "TaxiLights")

But how can check just the bit which is important for the TaxiLights? (In this case the bit i need to know is :cool:

I think i can read out the value of a bit so that i can decide if a LED has to turn on or off for the next step.

Hope you´ll understand my english

Thanks for your response.

Stefan

EDIT:

Sorry for the question i think i found a workaround.

If you´re interested in it i will post it.

function TaxiLights(offset, value) -- TaxiLights prüfen und LED schalten

gfd.SetBright(GFT8, 0, 12)

TL = logic.And(ipc.readUW(0x0D0C), 8) -- Wert prüfen ob TaxiLight ein oder aus sind

if TL == 1 then

gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 1)

else

gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 1)

end

end

function SetTaxiLights(model, unit) -- Taxi Lights ein/ausschalten

gfd.GetValues(model, unit)

if gfd.TestButton(1) then -- prüfen ob Hebel für Taxi lights Wert true hat

ipc.clearbitsUW(0X0D0C,8)

else

ipc.setbitsUW(0X0D0C,8)

end

end

event.offset("0D0C", "UW", "TaxiLights") -- Abfrage ob Aktion bei Lichtern

event.gfd(GFT8, 0, "SetTaxiLights") -- Abfrage ob Aktion bei Switches

This is okay, but because you are provided with the value of offset 0D0C as the parameter "value" it would be more efficient to use it, so:

TL = logic.And(value, ...

BTW you need to put a space before your final ")" to stop the Forum software turning things into emoticon faces! ;-)
