Georgy Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Hello!I want to turn on the fuel valve cut off in 737 pmdg with a short press of the button and turn it off by long pressing the same button. Same with autothrottle disengage (short press) and TOGA (long press) How to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Take a look at the TripleUse.lua script which is included in the lua examples (zipped in your FSUIPC7 Documents folder). There is also a more advanced version of this lua script available in the User Contributions sub-forum: You should be able to adapt either one of those for your needs.

Georgy Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Thank You, John! I thought maybe you did another way) AT Disengage (67279) and TOGA (65861) I did! Thank you! Code: joy = 3 btn = 2 interval = 100 -- 1/2 second press, gap, press limits ignorepress = false -- Function to time the button being pressed or left released -- Allow only up to "interval" till decide no change local function timebutton(test) while true do time2 = ipc.elapsedtime() if (time2 - time1) > interval then ignorepress = false return false end if ipc.testbutton(joy, btn) == test then time1 = time2 return true end ipc.sleep(20) end end function buttonpress(j, b, du) if ignorepress then ignorepress = false return end -- Note time button was pressed time1 = ipc.elapsedtime() time2 = 0 if timebutton(false) then -- First press / release counts: see if there's another if timebutton(true) then -- got another press in time, look for release if timebutton(false) then -- this was a double press, send VIEW RIGHT ipc.control() ignorepress = true -- ignore the next press we receive, i.e. the 2nd in a double-press end else -- This was a single press, send VIEW LEFT ipc.control(67279) ignorepress = false end else -- This was a longer press, send VIEW FORWARD ipc.control(65861) end end -- Enable event on button being pressed (only) event.button(joy, btn, 1, "buttonpress") How do I manage the cut off valves? They work as presets. I don't know what code to enter. Unfortunately, the github page https://github.com/joeherwig/msfs-fsuipc-lua-scripts is not working.

Georgy Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 And how I can add another controller to the same script? For example: joy = 3 btn = 2 joy = 4 btn = 5 It will be work? Or I must to do 2 tripleuse.lua for my controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use one script if you know what you are doing (I am not going to explain this to you...!), but it is probably easier to use a separate script for each button. 2 minutes ago, Georgy said: Sorry, I don't understand(( Can You write example? Thank You! What don't you understand? Your script contains the following lines to execute the control/event: ipc.control(67279) So that sends the control AUTO_THROTTLE_DISCONNECT. To send a preset instead, change that to: ipc.execPreset("presetName") where presetName is the name of the preset. Or add the parameter if the preset uses one, e.g. ipc.execPreset("presetName", param) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dowson Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 1 minute ago, Georgy said: Please, check this code): Can you not do this yourself? Why don't you just try running it, and use the provided debugging facilities if you have any issues. As you are not using the double press, then you should at least remove the following line (as it will create an error if you do double-press): ipc.control() Or, better still, remove the code that handles a double-press completely if not using this.

Почему бы вам просто не попробовать запустить его и использовать предоставленные средства отладки, если у вас возникнут какие-либо проблемы.

John Dowson Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Just now, Georgy said: I meant, did I enter the action correctly in brackets and quotes? Shouldn't there be numbers? Why? The preset is a name, and the documentation for this function is: Quote ipc.execPreset(“presetName”, param)[Not WideClient] This executes the calculator code associated to the argument presetName using the WAPI execute_calculator_code method. Note that the preset name must be given as it appears in the events.txt or myevents.txt file, not as appears un the drop-down menus where underscores are replaced by spaces. N.B. To use this function, the FSUIPC WASM module must be installed, and the WASM interface active in FSUIPC7. The only number needed is the parameter, if the preset uses one (most don't).

Tell me please how to implement such a function: I raise the chassis crane in 737 (Thrustmaster Boeing), the lever presses the button all the time.

I used a translator I would like to do this: 1. In a Boeing 737, I do gear up. 2. Wheels retract 3. After 10 seconds, the gear lever automatically switches to off mode.

In tripleuse.lua assigned only one action (hold press): move virtual lever to position "gear off" after 10 seconds when the physical lever is up.

The letter would be more convenient when changing different joysticks, because it is attached to each device, even when it is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
