Creating custom Mouse Rect Attachpoint

[MD_04]

Hey guys,

following situation: I have created a FMC model + display gauge and now want to animate the LSK buttons. The animation is already done and customly defined in my own modeldef.xml but I just can't seem to get my Mouse Rect to work to click on the LSK Button.
I use Blender 2.8 as well as the Blender2FSX/P3D plugin. The animation and the attachpoint show up in the plugin section but the Mouse Rect attachpoint does not work in the sim.

This is my code for now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModelInfo>
    <Animation name="B737_FMCL_LSK1_anim" guid="4275280d-ecad-4de8-83b7-c89105314730" length="50" type="Sim" typeParam2="B737_FMCL_LSK1_anim" typeParam="AutoPlay"/>

    <PartInfo>
        <Name>B737_FMCL_LSK1_anim</Name>
        <AnimLength>50</AnimLength>
        <Animation>
            <Parameter>
                <Code>(L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) 50 *</Code>
                <Lag>50</Lag>
            </Parameter>
            </Animation>
    </PartInfo>

    <PartInfo>
        <Name>B737_FMCL_LSK1_rect</Name>
        <MouseRect>
            <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
            <TooltipText>LSK1</TooltipText>
                <CallbackCode>
                    (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 == if{ (M:X) (>L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) }
                </CallbackCode>
        </MouseRect>
    </PartInfo>
</ModelInfo>

So if anyone knows how to create a custom Mouse Rect attachpoint to control a custom animation I would be very, very thankful.

Greetings,
Max

you need mouse flag, I blend it into single <partinfo>
try this:

    <Animation name="B737_FMCL_LSK1_anim" guid="4275280d-ecad-4de8-83b7-c89105314730" length="50" type="Sim" typeParam2="B737_FMCL_LSK1_anim" typeParam="AutoPlay"/>

    <PartInfo>
        <Name>B737_FMCL_LSK1_anim</Name>
        <AnimLength>50</AnimLength>
        <Animation>
            <Parameter>
                <Code>(L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) 50 *</Code>
                <Lag>50</Lag>
            </Parameter>
        </Animation>
        <MouseRect>
            <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
            <TooltipText>LSK1</TooltipText>
            <MouseFlags>LeftSingle</MouseFlags>
            <CallbackCode>
                (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 == if{ L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) ! (&gt;L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) }
            </CallbackCode>
        </MouseRect>
    </PartInfo>

Thanks for your reply but it doesn't work unfortunately. The mouse cursor doesn't change into the clicking symbol and when I click the button it doesn't move at all.

OK, solved. I just noticed that MCX didn't have any ModelDef.xml code in it so I just added it there.

One problem I encountered again is the animation. As soon as I click on the button I have to reload the SimObject to click it again. How can I get the button to be clickable again?

I would not 'latch' the button as posted above, but would reset the button's L:var upon mouse button release as shown below. When the left mouse button is pressed down, the LSK1 button will likewise be pressed down. When the mouse button is released, so too will the LSK1 button:

        <MouseRect>
            <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
            <TooltipText>LSK1</TooltipText>
            <MouseFlags>LeftSingle+LeftRelease</MouseFlags>
            <CallbackCode>
                (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 == if{ 1 (&gt;L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) }
                (M:Event) 'LeftRelease' scmp 0 == if{ 0 (&gt;L:B737_FMCL_LSK1, bool) }
            </CallbackCode>
        </MouseRect>
