Sequence Programming Problem

[LukeFF]

Hello,

I am trying to program a simple two-button sequence in Pacific Fighters which toggles between the Zoom In and and Zoom Out views. I have the sequence working in-game, but when I exit to Desktop the Joystick (Fighterstick USB) is not releasing the last command I sent via the sequence. My script looks like this:

SCRIPT

SEQUENCE
WAIT( JS1.B7 ); // Wait until Button 2 is pressed
A1 = A1 + 1; // Increment our message counter
IF( [ A1 > 1 ] ) THEN // If A1 is over three then
A1 = 0; // Reset A1 to 0
ENDIF
ENDSEQUENCE

SELECT( A1, POSITION ) OF

CASE 0:
CMS.B1 = TRUE; // Set the bit for our first message
EXITCASE:
CMS.B1 = FALSE; // Clear the bit for our first message
BREAK;

CASE 1:
CMS.B2 = TRUE; // Set the bit for our second message
EXITCASE:
CMS.B2 = FALSE; // Clear the bit for our first message
BREAK;

ENDSELECT

ENDSCRIPT

The key commands are the KBDEL (B2) and KBEND (B1). Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Luke!

The problem is that you keep holding the zoom in or zoom out button until you press your joystick button the next time. And that means there is always a button held all the time once you press you joystick button.

My solution is a little bit slower than your, but it should work fine anyway. So I would do it like this instead:

sequence
wait(js1.b7);
CMS.B2 = TRUE;
delay(2);
CMS.B2 = FALSE;
delay(2);
wait(js1.b7);
CMS.B1 = TRUE;
delay(2);
CMS.B1 = FALSE;
delay(2);
endSequence
