Hi, I'm modifying a downloaded gem which is the Incom T-16 Skyhopper by @Tang0five and want to include an indicator light on the cockpit instrument panel I'm adding which will light when the VTOL is centered in the zero position. I know there's a gigantic indicator on the left side of the screen for this, but I want a light, ok?
My question is how do I script this into the XML? I imagine it's some string in the [Input] variable of the beacon, but I have no idea what. Any help?
Thanks!
And.... I did it!
After sifting through a million posts I finally came across syntax that worked: (VTOL<0.03)+(VTOL>-0.03)
Tadaaaaa!
Now that I look at it, it seems soooo simple!
Ok, so so far I have managed to establish values at which the beacon either turns on or off using comparison signs (>, <, =, etc). What I can't get right is the syntax to establish a range of values. Ideally, it should look something like this:
Input: VTOL <0.03 & >-0.03
This ought to light the beacon in a range of plus or minus 3% of zero.
I doesn't.
[frustration....]
@Treadmill103 Will do asap
@Treadmill103 Great! Let me know uf you make any progress. I'll try following up on you. Thanks a bunch
Thanks, @Treadmill103
That alone lights the beacon on any value EXCEPT zero. So, I tried adding an "invert:true" argument, but I doesn't work with beacons, it seems.
Also, I realize that it would be very hard to even trigger the beacon as I slide over the zero value, so I want to establish a margin of proximity to zero for the light to go on.
Any ideas?
