Switch toggle lua code?

[Thick8]

I have some on-off and on-off-on switches in my new collective. For example I am able to turn on the landing light with the on input of the switch but the light does not go off when I remove that input signal. I remember going into a lua file to add code that would fix this but that was more than a few years ago now. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

This is a subset of additional lines with the original shown for the diffs.

I made these changes to the ....P-51D\joystick\default.lua

 

Probably the wrong place to put it as it will be overwritten every time there is an update. But when 2.5.6 goes stable, I will deal with that then.

 

 

 

--- default lines for battery and generator
{down = device_commands.Button_2, cockpit_device_id  = devices.RIGHT_SWITCH_PANEL, value_down = 1.0,     name = _('Battery'), category = _('Right Switch Panel')},
{down = device_commands.Button_4, cockpit_device_id  = devices.RIGHT_SWITCH_PANEL, value_down = 1.0,     name = _('Generator'), category = _('Right Switch Panel')},


---Added line for Battery On/Off
{down = device_commands.Button_12, up = device_commands.Button_12, cockpit_device_id  = devices.RIGHT_SWITCH_PANEL, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Battery 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Right Switch Panel')},

--Added line for Generator On/Off
{down = device_commands.Button_13, up = device_commands.Button_13, cockpit_device_id  = devices.RIGHT_SWITCH_PANEL, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Generator 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Right Switch Panel')},

Could also use joytokey to emulate keystrokes in the off positions

Basically it is not rocket science and maybe your problem war already answered there.

If not: drop me a note and I'll look what I can do for you.

That worked. I tried to change the code in the BU0836a_dif.lua but there had to be something in the default lua for it to reference. Once the changes were made in the default file then the controller file changed automatically.

At first I didn’t give the command a new name and that wasn’t working as it created a conflict with the original entry.

Thanks.

Glad it helped.

That was the thread. I remember the input structure was changed a couple of years after this thread started but the answer is on page 11 or 12.

Thanks for your help.
