FS2004 Single block of code....

[Weescotty]

So we can have a block of XML for visibility, and a block of code for animation.

Can they be combined into a single block of code?

EG....
animation

<part>
<name>TEST_ROTATE</name>
<animation>
<parameter>
<code>
(A:LIGHT BEACON,bool)
(AROP MAX RPM PERCENT:0) 6.5 &lt;
&amp;&amp;
if{ (G:Var9) ++ 100 % (&gt;G:Var9) (G:Var9) }
els{ 0 (&gt;G:Var9) 0 }
</code>
<lag>100</lag>
</parameter>
</animation>
</part>

visibility
<part>
<name>TEST_ROTATE_HIDE</name>
<visible_in_range>
<parameter>
<sim>
<variable>PROP MAX RPM PERCENT:0</variable>
<units>percent</units>
<scale>1</scale>
</sim>
</parameter>
<minvalue>0</minvalue>
<maxvalue>6.25</maxvalue>
</visible_in_range>
</part>

Can these be combined into a single block?

Cheers

Hi,

Yes, here is one of mine:

<part>
  <name>ai_flap</name> <!-- for AI aircraft - flap disappears unless lowered -->
  <visible_in_range>
  <parameter>
  <code> (A:TRAILING EDGE FLAPS LEFT PERCENT, percent) 0 &gt; (A:LIGHT LANDING, bool) (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION, percent) 0 &gt; &amp;&amp; || </code>
  </parameter>
  <minvalue>1</minvalue>
  </visible_in_range>
      <animation>
       <Parameter>
       <Code>  (A:TRAILING EDGE FLAPS LEFT PERCENT, percent) 0 &gt; if{ (A:TRAILING EDGE FLAPS LEFT PERCENT, percent) } els{ (A:LIGHT LANDING, bool) (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION, percent) 99 &gt; &amp;&amp; if{ 40 } els{ 0 } } </Code>
        <Lag>5</Lag>
       </Parameter>
    </animation>
</part>

Hope this helps,

Yes it does, cheers Tom.

Is there any limit on the code blocks?
Can both be if/els or just one?

You can use just 'if's with no els' if you word it right. Also, learn to experiment with code. Its pretty awesome what all you can do with it. Making layers of conditions (logic) can be pretty fun, but test it as sometimes it can be buggy under certain conditions.

Thanks all, seem to have what I was aiming for working!
