• 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.

Hey guys,



Can you see the problem here? I have two seperate parts, two codes, one for each, and when I click on one, the other moves. They have seperate GUID's, seperate Mouse Rect's, and still they animate together, and only the LH will be clickable..


Any idea's?



Code: 
 <PartInfo> 
    <Name>sunvisor_rh_down</Name>
	  <AnimLength>50</AnimLength>
	  <Animation>
		  <Parameter>
			 <Code>(L:Sunvisor Flip Down RH,bool) 100 *</Code>
			<lag>400</lag>
		  </Parameter>
	   </Animation> 
    <MouseRect>
	  <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
	<TooltipText>Flip Down Sun Visor RH</TooltipText>
	  <CallbackCode>
			(L:Sunvisor Flip Down RH,bool) ! (&gt;L:Sunvisor Flip Down RH,bool)
	  </CallbackCode>
    </MouseRect>
</PartInfo>
  
     <PartInfo> 
    <Name>sunvisor_lh_down</Name>
	  <AnimLength>50</AnimLength>
	  <Animation>
		  <Parameter>
			 <Code>(L:Sunvisor Flip Down LH,bool) 100 *</Code>
			<lag>400</lag>
		  </Parameter>
	   </Animation> 
    <MouseRect>
	  <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
	<TooltipText>Flip Down Sun Visor LH</TooltipText>
	  <CallbackCode>
			(L:Sunvisor Flip Down LH,bool) ! (&gt;L:Sunvisor Flip Down LH,bool)
	  </CallbackCode>
    </MouseRect>
</PartInfo>


This is for FSX. In FS9 it runs fine.


Thanks for any input.

Found it... lol.... arrghh.. :eek:


<Animation name="sunvisor_lh_down" guid="2AD6982F-12BD-417a-ADD5-DC023F658919" type="Sim" typeParam="AutoPlay"

typeParam2="sunvisor_lh_down" length="100"/>
<Animation name="sunvisor_rh_down" guid="2E50413E-C997-403f-8058-A59834D32539" type="Sim" typeParam="AutoPlay"

typeParam2="sunvisor_lh_down" length="100"/>

More information... I finally figured out the difference between type="Standard" and type="Sim" animation definitions...

type="Standard" are those "animations" that do not require keyframes at all, such as simple visibility show/hide type of things.

type="Sim" are those "animations" that actually are animated! IOW, they need keyframes to be encoded in the model file.

In the final analysis though, for simplicity all entries may be defined as type="Sim" though, as it makes no real difference in the way things behave... ;)

In every case though, if you have declared an animation as type"Sim" then a typeparam2="xxx" entry is required, the contents of which must be the same as the name"xxx" entry... ;)

Good to know Bill. Thanks for the update on that.

No problem. I discovered during an email exchange with Lonewulph (Bobby) that I was mistaken about the requirement for the typeParam2 entry, so had to correct my error lest I lead anyone astray... :wave:
