Help needed, please: making the Intercom Mode Selector turn counterclockwise also.

[RazorbackNL]

I would like to request some help with this thing I've got.

I want to make the Intercom Mode Selector knob also be able to turn to the left (ccw).

What I did so far:

I have copied 2 original lines in below mentioned default.lua files and changed the target line to a negative value_down.

 

DCS OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Input

joystick - default.lua

{down = device_commands.Button_12,cockpit_device_id  = devices.INTERCOM, value_down = 1.0,     name = _('Intercom Mode Selector (cw rotary)'),     category = _("Intercom Control Panel")},
{down = device_commands.Button_12,cockpit_device_id  = devices.INTERCOM, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Intercom Mode Selector (ccw rotary)'),     category = _("Intercom Control Panel")},

 

keyboard - default.lua

{combos = {{key = 'Q', reformers = {'RCtrl','RShift'}}},down = device_commands.Button_12,cockpit_device_id = devices.INTERCOM, value_down = 1.0,     name = _('Intercom Mode Selector (cw rotary)'),     category = _("Intercom Control Panel")},
{combos = {{key = '', reformers = {''}}},down = device_commands.Button_12,cockpit_device_id = devices.INTERCOM, value_down = -1.0,     name = _('Intercom Mode Selector (ccw rotary)'),     category = _("Intercom Control Panel")},

 

Ingame I am able to assign a button to the new command Intercom Mode Selector (ccw rotary) but the knob still turns only to the right.

I must be missing something.

Can someone please have a look?

Thanks in advance.

Check files Clickabledata.lua and Clickable_def.lua

                attach_right    = attach_right_ or nil,
            }
end

lines 634 and 635:

elements["TRANSMIT-INTERPHONE-SWITCH-PTR"]    = multiposition_switch_limited(_("Intercom Mode (PVT - hot line; INT - interphone; 1 - VHF FM transmitter; 2 - UHF transmitter; 3 - VHF AM transmitter; 4 - Not used)"),devices.INTERCOM,device_commands.Button_8,30,6,0.1,0.0, {0,120}, {0,60})

elements["TRANSMIT-INTERPHONE-SWITCH-PTR"].turn_box = {180,0,0}

 

Can you see the part which I might be needing to change?

 

I can't find the file Clickable_def.lua. Can you tell me where it should be located?

Thanks in advance

The first part is actually the DEFINITION of the implemented COMMAND in the second part

Those were splitted in 2 different files in subsequent modules, so you have anything you need

I found the time to check what you asked.

The files I suggested are related to mouse interactions, and after some check the intercom knob work as it should 
Those interaction use "Button_8" of the Device

The "Button_12" looks like a special button, created in the DLL to be limited (sadly) to one direction

Thank you for taking time to dig a little bit deeper, flankerone.

Too bad the limitation is hardcoded into the module.

Appreciate your effort trying to get it sorted.
