Advanced command for Gun Select (up/down)

[Havner]

There is no separate function/lua command/binding for gun select that can select up/down position separately. As the element is not even clickable I don't think a lua command for the device was ever created. Only iCommandPlaneModeCannon exists which is not enough to hold a 2 way switch (like trigger cover in virpil sticks) synchronized.

Please add such a binding/command whatever. Same way it can be achieved on Mi-8 and Mi-24 for RS cover.

I have created such a Lua to use a 2 way switch from my F16 stick.
1 stage selects the gun.
2 stage fires

on release  the gun is deselected.

when I am at home I will post the file here, it also passes the IC and is therefore MP suitable.

I know how you did it, but it's not what I'm talking about.

With your setup press 'C' and then try to fire the gun. That's the issue. You can de-synchronize the state. Unless you used some LUA device::command I'm not aware of (and which I requested in the OP).

EDIT:

Using something like this for Mi-24 you cannot de-synchronize the state and this is what I requested.

{down = weapon_commands.Pilot_RUV_FIRE_Cvr, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAP_SYS, value_down = 1, name = _('Weapon Release Button Cover OPEN'), category = {_('Ins Cyclic Stick')}},
{down = weapon_commands.Pilot_RUV_FIRE_Cvr, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAP_SYS, value_down = 0, name = _('Weapon Release Button Cover CLOSE'), category = {_('Ins Cyclic Stick')}},

Or doing a single DOWN/UP command that you could use for dual stage trigger like your use case.

So in my case the first stage must be held to keep the weapon selected, as soon as I let go, the weapon is deselected again.

what you see in the video is all triggered by a 2 stage trigger

if it is not that I honestly still do not know exactly what you mean

you need to replace these 3 files.

default.lua Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.diff.lua Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua
