Hello every body

i should like to know why the unit "percent" do not work with the variable "L"
i have made a full animation :

<PartInfo>
<Name>switch_sparrow</Name>
<AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
<Animation>
<Parameter>
<Code>
(L:switch_sparrow,bool) 50 *
</Code>
</Parameter>
</Animation>
<MouseRect>
<Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
<CallbackCode>(L:switch_sparrow,bool) ! (>L:switch_sparrow,bool) ! (>L:sparrow1,percent) </CallbackCode>
</MouseRect>
</PartInfo>


<PartInfo>
<Name>sparrow1</Name>
<AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
<Animation>
<Parameter>
<Code>
(L:sparrow1,percent) 100 *
</Code>
</Parameter>
</Animation>
</PartInfo>



the sparrow is linked to ghost and ghost must not been visible at the end of the animation ( 95 percent)



<PartInfo>
<Name>ghost</Name>
<Visibility>
<Parameter>
<Code>(L:sparrow1,percent) 95 &gt; if{ 0 } els{ 1 } </Code>
</Parameter>
</Visibility>
</PartInfo>

It's not ok but if the code is :

<PartInfo>
<Name>ghost</Name>
<Visibility>
<Parameter>
<Code>(L:sparrow1,percent) 0 &gt; if{ 0 } els{ 1 } </Code>
</Parameter>
</Visibility>
</PartInfo>

It's ok
ghost is not visible but there is no time.

if the code is for example

<PartInfo>
<Name>ghost</Name>
<Visibility>
<Parameter>
<Code>(A:Turb eng1 CORRECTED N1, percent) 95 &gt;; if{ 0 } els{ 1 } </Code>
</Parameter>
</Visibility>
</PartInfo>


it's ok !
with "A" and "percent" no problem and with "L" my own code it'do not work , if anyone know and can help me ? Thank you

hi
no awnser ? i need help just to know if the unit percent can be use with "L" because it's not good in my gauge.

"Visibility in Range" do not work unfortunately.Thanks

You cannot use "percent" as a unit value the way your script is structured, since you have it set up to have only a value of zero (0) or one (1).

"Percent" requires that you have a possible range of values from zero (0) to one (1), or more typically zero (0) to one-hundred (100).

Hi n4gix
thank you for your answer.

<CallbackCode>(L:switch_sparrow,bool) ! (>L:switch_sparrow,bool) ! (>L:sparrow1,percent) </CallbackCode>
! (>L:sparrow1,percent) is the animation with key 0 to 100 it ' s not good to use the unit percent ? or must i write mini 0 max 100 ;
sorry but i don't see very well.

 

[n4gix]

The problem is that this:

(>L:sparrow1,percent)

doesn't actually do anything except toggle the value from zero to one!

So, it should be a bool type, not a percent.

 

[obama]

Thank you.

then ;how to do to get the percent unit with the animation ?
is it impossible ? the only way is realy toggle zero to one ?

 

[n4gix]

That's what the 100 * is for!

When the value of your L:variable is made ONE, the result is multiplied by 100, so that you now have a range of 0 to 100.

The <Lag> entry controls the SPEED of the animation. Lower number equals slower animation...

<PartInfo>
   <Name>sparrow1</Name>
   <AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
   <Animation>
      <Parameter>
         <Code>
           (L:sparrow1,bool) 100 * 
         </Code>
         <Lag>100</Lag> 
      </Parameter>
   </Animation>
</PartInfo>

thank you bill; that i know , but if you read my question ,the problem is why the sparrow1 is always visible at the end of animation ,
sparrow1 is linked to ghost, how must i write the code ? with <Visibility> only {0} and {1} work (but man cannot see the animation) and with <visibleinrange> it 's not ok.
With FS9 SDK no problem using <visibleinrange>i get a timing.

First of all, because your (L:sparrow1,bool) variable can ONLY be zero or one!

You will need to add some script to your "sparrow1" such that a "counter" will increment or decrement (L:sparrow1,number) from zero to one-hundred range:

<PartInfo>
   <Name>sparrow1</Name>
   <AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
   <Animation>
      <Parameter>
         <Code>
           (L:switch_sparrow,bool 1 ==
           (L:sparrow1,number) 100 &lt;
           and
             if{
                 (L:sparrow1,number) 1 + (>L:sparrow1,number)
               } 

           (L:switch_sparrow,bool 0 ==
           (L:sparrow1,number) 0 &gt;
           and
             if{
                 (L:sparrow1,number) 1 - (>L:sparrow1,number)
               } 
         </Code> 
      </Parameter>
   </Animation>
</PartInfo>

<PartInfo>
   <Name>switch_sparrow</Name>
   <AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
   <Animation>
      <Parameter>
         <Code>
            (L:switch_sparrow,bool) 100 * 
         </Code> 
      </Parameter>
   </Animation>
<MouseRect>
   <Cursor>Hand</Cursor> 
   <CallbackCode>
      (L:switch_sparrow,bool) ! (>L:switch_sparrow,bool)
   </CallbackCode>
</MouseRect> 

<!-- NOW you can control "ghost" visibility for > 95  -->

<PartInfo>
   <Name>ghost</Name>
   <Visibility>
      <Parameter>
         <Code>
            (L:sparrow1,number) 95 &gt; if{ 0 } els{ 1 }
         </Code> 
      </Parameter>
   </Visibility>
</PartInfo>

Hi


you have good idea; i have tried your code , unfortunately

with :

<Name>sparrow1</Name>
<AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
<Animation>
<Parameter>
<Code>
(L:switch_sparrow,bool 1 ==
(L:sparrow1,number) 100 &lt;
and
if{
(L:sparrow1,number) 1 + (>L:sparrow1,number)
}

(L:switch_sparrow,bool 0 ==
(L:sparrow1,number) 0 &gt;
and
if{
(L:sparrow1,number) 1 - (>L:sparrow1,number)
}
</Code>
</Parameter>
</Animation>
</PartInfo>

the sparrow1 is not animated when i "clic " on the switch ;maybe you have forgotten something ? it's not easy ,but
happy, you are here to help me !
