One key press, two different commands simultaneously, possible?

[JayPee]

Quick question, how can I have one key press execute two different commands simultaneously?

 

JOY_BTN_POV1_DL when pressed should execute both iCommandPlaneRadarDown & iCommandPlaneRadarLeft at the same time and when released should execute iCommandPlaneRadarStop.

 

I tried this but it doesn't recognise semicolon as a separator combining the two commands. I think it's obvious what I want to achieve.

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN_POV1_DL"}, }, pressed = iCommandPlaneRadarDown; iCommandPlaneRadarLeft, up = iCommandPlaneRadarStop, name = "HOTAS Slew Down Left", category = "8-way slew"},

 

First winning answer gets milk+cookie.

Afaik impossible without 3rd party tools (i.e. some macro tool, joystick config program of your stick vendor, etc.).

 

The functions you can use in the config file are only meant to distinguish between button-down, button-up or button-clicked ... of one specific button. And if you copy the line for one button to add additional functions, you will get a conflict within the Options->Controls page (marked red).

 

edit:

Maybe one could invent some sort of solution using the macroxxxx.lua (can't remember the exact file name) where the auto-startup cheat is scripted. PeterP uses that also to implement his "Ka50 unchain rudder from trim" mod. But that is atm a bit beyond my capabilities. :o)

Well, if I could create a new command which combines the function of multiple other commands, that would be a step in the proper direction.

 

Or a macro combining the two.

Free as in beer and independent of specific devices would be AutoHotkey

Yeah but it doesn't include joystick buttons and it's another third pt. app...

Negative Ghost Rider! I used to use this with my old G940 on the two stage trigger. Should support DirectX access out of the box.

Try VAC ?

It's too easy to do with a 3rd party application for it to be worth the time and trouble to hack the game, IMHO.

[JayPee]

OK Seil, will try it.

 

But I still want to try to handle it in-game. I don't want to make a trashcan of my computer by installing an app for every possible inconvenience.

Got Auto Hotkey to work. Too bad it's an external app and not something within DCS.
