MSFS Doors Visibility Code and Execution of Canopy_Open or EXIT_Open for Exterior Sounds

[rotorsfs2020]

Hi all

I have a simple script that shows or hides my doors and it works well.

Ideally I would like either a A:CANOPY_OPEN or A:EXIT_OPEN variable to triggered when the doors are not visible as this is the only way I know currently to trigger open door noises whilst in the cockpit?

Is it possible to amend this code so that the Canopy open or exit open is triggered when doors are hidden? Any help much appreciated - and if anybody wants a simple visibility code for doors - this works well!

" <Component ID="ALL_Doors">
<Component ID="ALL_Doors" Node="ALL_Doors">
<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Visibility">
<VISIBILITY_CODE>(L: DOORS_VIS, Bool) !</VISIBILITY_CODE>
</UseTemplate>
</Component>
<Component ID="DOORS_TOGGLE" Node="DOORS_TOGGLE">
<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Interaction_LeftSingle_Code">
<LEFT_SINGLE_CODE>(L: DOORS_VIS, Bool) ! (&gt;L: DOORS_VIS, Bool)</LEFT_SINGLE_CODE>
</UseTemplate>
</Component>
</Component>"

Unfortunately I am not an expert and struggle myself adding sound to a canopy animation for my plane.
But I think you dont necessarily need that "A:CANOPY_OPEN" variable but you can also use the "L: DOORS_VIS, Bool" local variable
to add exterior sounds.

I think in the sound.xml file you add a " LocalVar=" instead of the "SimVar=" to trigger the sound.

For my plane I only managed to change the exterior sound volume once the canopy opens. This is the code I added to the sound.xml file

 <Sound WwiseEvent="Combustion" FadeOutType="2" FadeOutTime="10" RPMMin="750" WwiseData="true" EngineIndex="1" >
    <WwiseRTPC LocalVar="DOORS_OPEN_ALL" Units="PERCENT" Index="1" RTPCName="SIMVAR_GENERAL_ENG_COMBUSTION_SOUND_PERCENT"/>
      </Sound>

So maybe you could also add sound by using your local variable "DOORS_VIS" to add sound.

But then again I also struggle adding some custom sound to the canopy animation.

May I ask you how i can trigger doors not visible using your script?

Just for my understanding, how did you set your localvar DOORS_OPEN_ALL?

Create a mouse zone. Use a transparent texture so the user can't see it. Then put the mouse interaction template into that Component (ie your mouse zone). When the doors become invisible the mouse zone will still be there.
