AA trigger in training videos

[twells555]

Hi,

 

This is pretty bizaar...

 

I'm using the TM Warthog and Target script sw. I noticed that when running any of the AA training mission using either guns or missiles, squeezing the trigger on the joystick or using the spacebar key on the keyboard will launch any missiles or fire the gun. Yet when I am in a mission using the same weapons, the trigger on the joystick works perfectly. And while in training missions, I've used the TM event tester to make sure when the trigger is squeezed that the spacebar is 'pressed'....and I checked the keyboard bindings in game to make sure fire is bound to the spacebar key and it is....and yet nothing fires. ...and all the AG training missions work fine.

 

I don't know what else to check. Anyone else have an issue like this and find a solution? It's just weird.

 

Thanx,

tim

This sounds like you have the spacebar mapped to "Trigger"! The trainings use a trigger "Wait for user", that checks for a pressed "spacebar"/or the Triggerbutton 1 on the joystick. In general you are supposed to "press spacebar".

Was the spacebar mapped to the weapon trigger by default or did you change that?

If it was assigned to the trigger by default, this seems to be a bug.

 

To solve the problem, for now, take care, the spacebar is not assigned to any action.

Shagrat, Thank you very much, you nailed it. Remapping the trigger to another key solved the problem. Funny thing, I thought I had already tried that and it didn't work...tried again tonight and the missiles fired as expected in the training missions. Must have goffed up the key binding the first time I tried or something. Maybe it didn't save properly. Thanks again for your help.
