• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Lets say, I have 3 Elements using one 'area' on a bitmap. Thus, if I click this 'area', it should theoretically activate all of these click zone Elements/Commands, all at once..

Is this true?

No.

You can NOT have overlapping Mouse Rectangle 'zones'...

You CAN have one zone with multiple checks for which button is clicked/rotated/released, etc.

I thought we'd already covered this ground yesterday? :confused:
 
Not exactly. It was on a button element having multiple clickables, not exactly 'overlapping' click zones..

That explains why things didnt fully function. drats....

Click to expand...

A little add : ... actives at the same time.

But you can have two overlapping <Area> each one with a <Visible> condition. The active will be which is visible, or the last one in the file sequence if both are visible.
Although is preferable (and mostly common) to work via differential code in the <Click> part of an area.

How can one easily write basic 'multiple' click zones?

(Wait, let me explain Fr. Bill)..

I see that things like;

<Click>"AP_ATT_LOCK"</Click>
are in parenthesis. What if I wanted to add 1 or 2 or even 3 more into that simple string? Would I need to add M:Event and start a new level sentence string? or can I have say;

<Click>"AP_ATT_LOCK" "AP_ALT_LOCK" "AP_HEADING_HOLD"</Click>

I am trying to make this more simpler as my approaches were a bit 'guessed' based on other code that I didnt fully understand. I havent seen 'multiple parenthesis' click zones yet, so I didnt know if they do or dont exist.

Also (this just came to mind), can I use Event ID's to use as click zone commands in a gauge? Or should they be Parameters? Sorry for the stupid questions. Kindergardners.. arrgh.
