Hello everyone,

Today i started with implementing the OCO packet in LFSLapper.

After a few tests , the startlight control works good, so far.

You can control the startlights by using a new function:

LapperFunction:

$LightAction:


$LightIndex:


$LightIndentifier:

identify particular start lights objects (0 to 63 or 255 = all)

You can give each StartLight a differend number in AutoX editor:

$LightColor:


First testversion will be released soon.

Looks like you'll have to change your teamname from Impact to DISCO!

Here is the Test Version:

For documentation see first post.
I'm not sure what RESET and UNSET does.

Have Fun

Changes:


Edit: Released new LFSLapper version 7.0.4.0 , See Release Thread

You can use the real traffic light to drag?

you can use the startlights for drag. But you cannot place those startlights in demo.

What have you called this Event?

Checking LFSLapper.lpr between your V7.030 and V7.031, the only difference I can see is that the explanation for breakdown of using Private Buttons has been copied under the #Action when a new Gapping Info is available# section.

Also, in the managePacket.cs file


Is this the file that should have these railings changed to Armco?

Its not a event, its a LapperFunction. See first post.

I havent copied the "src"folder, to the testversion. But 'All_Armco' should work.
And Objectnames ( Short/Medium/Long) Armco should work too

I've been struggling testing for few hours with a setup of 3 autox lights all side by side, and set identifiers to 0, 1 and 2.

Took me long time with nothing happening before I thought to actually enable lights first like I was about to start a race.

Once I'd finally got figured that out....


to set 1 of the 3 lights to red. This worked.

I realise that you can have multiple start lights with same identifier, and code will work on all identified lights as one.




However, for the next bits I need help.

Can't work out how to enable more than 1 set of lights at a time.

Tried the following in 3 lines, one line after another

All resulted in lapper crashing.

Also.

Tried setting sub to trigger a change in lights (say if green, trigger to amber), but lapper didn't like the vars I put in the sub header. Tried

but these just resulted in lapper having a fit.

After testing, found that you can use Insim Circles as triggers, but these might be too big in certain circumstances

and you can also use Insim Checkpoints as triggers too, although not sure if lapper can differentiate between one kind of checkpoint and another (eg Finish Line v 1st Checkpoint)


although might be possible to fiddle about with IF ($LightColor = n) THEN ... ?

Help!

I can set 12 startlightcontrol() functions without crashing.

startlightcontrol(5,149,0,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,1,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,2,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,3,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,4,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,5,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,6,8);
startlightcontrol(5,149,7,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,8,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,9,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,10,1);
startlightcontrol(5,149,11,1);

Dont know what you mean about the Sub thing.
for testing the light i used this code.

EDIT: Moved example/test script to file

Ill push this update(7.0.3.1) as official release next weekend. Maybe sooner.
New Version will be (7.0.4.0).

i follow your instructions and it works ! wow

now i need to reach next level :
- blinking lights yellow (main & startlights) for yellow flag advertising
- fix light yellow on startlights autocross object (or red for main) for "ready ? prepare to continue race"
- fix green light on all lights for "green flag"
+ RCM message for each lights status (" YELLOW FLAG " / "READY ? SAFETY CAR IN PIT" / " GREEN FLAG - GO ! ")

all these 3 lights setting must be triggered by a simple command wich could be assigned to a key

for example : Dekojester has a app to do that and triggered just by pressing command "@green", "@yellow" or "@green"

here is the point where i am blocked (i am not a coding master ) : you 'll find a layout wich is working with the lpr above

i especially need this function for oval events we organize at GUM Garage !
i organise but also manage the GUM team and run the race, so the key press is the solution for controlling Lights and restart

Have a go with the attached script.
It does all that you asked for, except the blinking yellow lights on main, as there is no yellow state on them.
So made them blink red.

I've put the commands !ylw , !rdy , !grn under my F5,F6,F7 (you need to do that in your own LFS settings (see screenshot) and it's working as intended.

Change the extension of the file to .lpr and add it to addonsused.lpr to be able to use it.

Small update (V1.01) to this script with the following change log:

-Made the main lights blink left one / right one on command !ylw
-Added code to switch off actions on Yellow when going straight into !grn

Change the extension of the file to .lpr and add it to addonsused.lpr to be able to use it.

wow !! very impressive ; it works so well
me and the GUM garage member are really happy and thanks to you for this very fast reacting coding answer !

omg ! we 'll have more immersive Nascar and Oval events now !! 1000thanks Boss !



yyyyhaaa !
