brauner1 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Im trying to initiate an lua script, 2 offsets and an action using a single key press. Ive already defined the various functions using the UI, assigning each to a different keyboard key. However editing the .ini, it simply seems to delete any function edited to an already associated key.

However editing the .ini, it simply seems to delete any function edited to an already associated key. Why are you trying to edit the INI file to do this? You are problably making an error in the encoding. The way to do it is simply assign they keypress in the Key assignments menu! In the INI you can add extra assignments to existing assignments, for multiple actions on the same key, but you muat get the format correct. If you are actually getting them deleted you are probably using the same line/parameter number -- the number before the =. That's the reference used by Windows to retrieve the parameters, and needs to be unique withon each section. Pete
brauner1 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Report Posted October 8, 2017 The UI only allows one action per key press, as any previous one gets overwritten. How would a multi function assignment look like in ini?

How would a multi function assignment look like in ini? The same as a single assignment, but with a different entry number (the value before the =) and obviously a different keycode or control number, or whatever. They are actioned in ascending order of the entry numbers. There are examples in the Advanced User's guide, as well as a list of keycodes and FSUIPC-added controls. For normal FS controls there's the list in your FSUIPC Documents folder, inside the Modules folder. Oh, and you can have two actions on a keypress - one for the 'press' and one for the 'release', and sometimes that's enough, and appropriate because you know they'll always be executed in that order.

How would a multi function assignment look like in ini? Here is a portion of my INI that shows multiple assignments for some switches. Lines 0 and 1 show switch 14 opening both cockpit sliding windows in thw A2A L049. Lines 2 and 3 use switch 15 to close both windows. I use letters instead of numbers for the Joy Num..."D" and "A" here. The B66C0=0 part of the entries is a conditional assignment that allows me to have multiple assignments for controls based on the value in User Defined Offset 0x66C0. In this case these statements are operable when that value is 0 (Control Set 0). I also use my joystick pinky switch to allow further assignments for Control Set 0. ( -C,6) and (+C,6).

When an engine is selected for start, the start switch is activated, the fire extinguisher selector is set to that engine and the primer pump selector switch is set to that engine. Look at the entries for switches 14, 16, 18 and 0 for those functions. Switch 2 clears several functions.

The "0" keycode is 48 (as listed in the Advanced User guide), so in your 20= assignment, the 0 is the 48. The 8 just means "on its own, no shift, CTRL, ALT or TAB added". All this is in the Advanced Users guide, which is provided for your reference on things like this. Pete
