Equivalent Lua commands

[Henry Street]

Hi Pete,

 

I am a complete novice at programming so please bear with me. I am trying to program the MFD's in the default Hornet using LUA.

 

This picture shows the FSUIPC button definition that is working.

 

Is this Lua command (not working) the equivalent to that FSUIPC programming?

 

function Rt_MFD_Button_5 ()

  ipc.writeDD(x3110, x00011205)

end

 

Thanks for all your help

function Rt_MFD_Button_5 ()

  ipc.writeDD(x3110, x00011205)

end

 

Thanks for all your help

 

Programming languages all have different ways of representing numbers in different radices. The Lua (and C/C++) way of representing a hexadecimal number is by preceding it with "0x" not just "x". To most languages, anything that begins with a letter is a name, not a number. The 0 tells them it is a number, and the x says it is in hex. FSUIPC doesn't need this convention because you can't use names, so it simplifies just to x.

 

So your line should be

 

  ipc.writeDD(0x3110, 0x00011205)

 

I see you are embodying it in a function. I assume you have something calling that function?

 

Regards

Pete
