P3D v4 Trigger Event whilst Key Trapped

[mstanden]

Hi,

I have got close to what I want to achieve with the code below. I want to trigger (L:FTR, bool) only whilst "CTRL, SHIFT, F" is pressed as a kind of 'while' statemet.

Monitoring the outputs it is happening close to what I want/expected but there is a slight 'blip' on the initial key press when the FTR bool output goes 1..0..1.... for a couple of gauge cycles.

Is there a better way to write the code?

Reset code when keys not pressed.

<!-- Resetting FTR bool and TIMER when key not pressed -->
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>
.....
0 (>L:TIMER, enum)
0 (>L:FTR, bool)
</Value>
</Select>
</Element>

Key press event. Timer is looping/incrementing inside the key press only.

<!-- FORCE TRIM RELEASE (FTR) -->
<On Key="838" ID="CTRL, SHIFT, F">
<Visible>(L:KBD CONTROL, bool) 1 ==</Visible>
(L:TIMER,enum) ++ (>L:TIMER,enum)
(L:FTR, bool) ! (L:TIMER, enum) 0 &gt; &amp;&amp; if{
1 (>L:FTR, bool)
}
</On>

Yes, Keypress is shortly interrupted.
My solution was a counter.
An excerpt of my code and adaption.
This is not tested!

<!-- FORCE TRIM RELEASE (FTR) -->
<On Key="838" ID="CTRL, SHIFT, F">
<Visible>(L:KBD CONTROL, bool) 1 ==</Visible>
    (L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number) 0 &gt;
    if{
      0.2 (&gt;L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number)
      }

    (L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number) 0 ==
    if{
      1 (&gt;L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number)
       1 (>L:FTR, bool)
       }
</On>
   

<Element>
  <Select>
    <Value>
      (L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number) 0.1 - 0 max (&gt;L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number)
     (L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number) 0 ==
     if{
       0 (>L:FTR, bool)
       }
    </Value>
  </Select>
</Element>

Of course there is small delay in resetting L:FTR
Maybe you have to change this value "0.2 (>L:NavM_Key_is_in_Use818,number)" to a higher value.

Maybe this would work...

The Boolean MakeNoise would cause some code to be carried out that would continue until the Left Button is released.

<Cursor Type="Grab"/>
<Click Kind="LeftSingle+LeftRelease" >
   (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 ==
           if{ 1 (&gt;L:MakeNoise,bool) }
   (M:Event) 'LeftRelease' scmp 0 ==
           if{ 0 (&gt;L:MakeNoise,bool) }
</Click>

Thanks @EduHir that worked perfectly!

@BaiterOne I had experimented with your suggestion but as I was trying to get this to work for a key combo press it doesn't quite have the same effect. I couldn't find the equivalent for (M:Key) using a 'release' condition as suggested in the wiki section.
