Question: Delay between single button events possible?

[Ralph_E]

Hi there,

I want to do this:
- switch on joystick goes on -> pulse state 1 to control (once), wait 2 seconds, pulse state 2 to control (once)
- switch on joystick goes off -> pulse state 0 to control

My problem is "wait 2 seconds". Is there any solution for this?

Here the relevant part of my INI file:
[Buttons.PMDG 747]
0=R1,19,C69645,1 -{Custom control: <69645>}-
1=R1,19,C69645,2 -{Custom control: <69645>}-
2=U1,19,C69645,0 -{Custom control: <69645>}-

Thanks in advance / Best regards, Ralph

You'd need to use a small Lua plug-in to do it, assigned just to the ON  event. So you'd only have two lines in the assignments, both facilitated in the Options (no need for INI editing operations),

The Lua script would simply send the control (ipc.control function) then sleep(2000) then send the control again. Three lines of script, that's all.
