Button Conditional

[English Rebel]

Pete

I'm trying to get a conditional button entry in the INI file to work but so far I've not had any luck. Button 72,0 is a latching switch and it needs to be in the down (ON) position before button 72,7 operates. In Buttons + Switches for button 72,0 I used Button Flag Set for ON and Button Flag Clear for OFF (I also set APU OFF for the switch OFF position too).

Can you please take a look at my INI file to see if I've got the syntax wrong.

Thanks

Alan

I'm trying to get a conditional button entry in the INI file to work but so far I've not had any luck. Button 72,0 is a latching switch and it needs to be in the down (ON) position before button 72,7 operates. In Buttons + Switches for button 72,0 I used Button Flag Set for ON and Button Flag Clear for OFF (I also set APU OFF for the switch OFF position too).

Er, if the button 72,7 action has to be conditional on another REAL button, why on Earth are you using buttons flags? The condition can just be on the button directly, surely? What's the Flag for? Falgs are for remembering states of things, not for detecting the actual current state of a real button or switch! And why do you want to make things so complicated when all the simplere examples are direct conditions on buttons?

Can you please take a look at my INI file to see if I've got the syntax wrong.

It wouyld save a lot of effort if you'd simply paste the relevant part no the who;e file!

Here:

72=P72,0,C1003,1

...

90=P72,7,C66704,1

91=U72,0,C1004,1

92=U72,0,C66705,1

93=P72,7,C66704,1

94=U72,7,C66704,1

95=CP(F+72,0)72,7

Apart from the fact you are trying to use Flags for no good reason, the flag you are using is denoted by the parameter 1 on the button 72,0 flag assignments. 1 = 0 x 256 + 1, so the flag is actually F0,1, but you are testing flag 72,0 which doesn't even exist! (Flags are only available for the standard joystck numbers, 0-15).

Not only that, but on line 95, the one with the invalid flag reference, you don't specify any action! You end with the button number only. What od you think that could do?

Why not follow the examples in the documentation? Don't use flags, which you obviously don't understand and which cannot be used with vitual joystick numbers in any case.

The reason I tried using flags is that this entry in the INI file didn't work. Is the syntax not correct ( I followed the example in the Advanced User Guide). Switch 72,7 operates the APU irrespective of the position of switch 72,0

Of course it does, because as well as the Conditional line

92=CR(+72,0)72,7,C66704,1

you also have 72,7 sending exactly the same control when Pressed and when Released!
