Controlling siren, horn and lights in LFSLapper
Hi there,
Is it possible for LFSLapper to be able to control the local player's headlights, horn and siren? I'm making a script which I would like this to be able to do.

Sure, you can do such thing with Lapper.
You will need to make a command like:

CASE "!siren"

So if someone types '!horn' in chat a sub event is executed.
In that sub event you need to send a command to LFS, like:

cmdLFS("/siren fast");

Okay, thanks :-)

I'm having an issue with the delayed command, in the fact that it isn't executing it. Here's what I put if it helps:


Sub LightsOn($userName)
cmdLFS("/press 3");
DelayedCommand(1, LightsFlashToOff);
EndSub

Sub LightsFlashToOff($userName)
cmdLFS("/press 3");
DelayedCommand(1, LightsOn);
EndSub

that doesnt work, because it will execute the command for the host.

I also havent run Lapper in localmode before, So i cant say if it works locally.
Also

The Insimpacket that controls the local player lights/horns isnt implemented yet.

SMALL_LCS, // 9 - instruction : set local car switches (lights, horn, siren)

// CAR SWITCHES
// ============

// To operate the local car's lights, horn or siren you can send this IS_SMALL :

// ReqI : 0
// SubT : SMALL_LCS (Local Car Switches)
// UVal : Switches (see below)

// Switches bits

// Bits 0 to 7 are a set of flags specifying which values to set. You can set as many
// as you like at a time. This is to allow you to set only the values you want to set
// while leaving the others to be controlled by the user.

#define LCS_SET_SIGNALS 1 // bit 0
#define LCS_SET_FLASH 2 // bit 1
#define LCS_SET_HEADLIGHTS 4 // bit 2
#define LCS_SET_HORN 8 // bit 3
#define LCS_SET_SIREN 0x10 // bit 4

// Depending on the above values, InSim will read some of the following values and try
// to set them as required, if a real player is found on the local computer.

// bits 8-9 (Switches & 0x0300) - Signal (0 off / 1 left / 2 right / 3 hazard)
// bit 10 (Switches & 0x0400) - Flash
// bit 11 (Switches & 0x0800) - Headlights

// bits 16-18 (Switches & 0x070000) - Horn (0 off / 1 to 5 horn type)
// bits 20-21 (Switches & 0x300000) - Siren (0 off / 1 fast / 2 slow)

Ah, there's the master to show us the light.
I've just tried every trick in my book to get it working and failed misserably.
Now I know why, not possible (yet) Smile

Yisc[NL] , could you try to run LFSLapper localy? Because that packet i showed can only be run locally.
Will see when i have time to implement this packet Tongue

This script works fine when Lapper is run LOCALY:

CatchEvent OnMSO( $userName, $text ) # Player event

$idxOfFirtsSpace = indexOf( $text, " ");
IF( $idxOfFirtsSpace == -1 ) THEN
$command = $text;
$argv = "";
ELSE
$command = subStr( $text,0,$idxOfFirtsSpace );
$argv = trim( subStr( $text,$idxOfFirtsSpace ) );
ENDIF

SWITCH( $command )

CASE "!lights":
LightsOn ( 0,0 );
BREAK;
ENDSWITCH
EndCatchEvent

Sub LightsOn( $KeyFlags, $id )
cmdLFS("/press 3");
DelayedCommand(1, LightsFlashToOff);
EndSub

Sub LightsOn_2 ()
cmdLFS("/press 3");
DelayedCommand(1, LightsFlashToOff);
EndSub

Sub LightsFlashToOff()
cmdLFS("/press 3");
DelayedCommand(1, LightsOn_2);
EndSub

To me it has not worked, to put the command does nothing the lights

If you would have read carefully, you would have noticed that it isn't working online.
A packet has to be implemented into Lapper, to be able to use those commands.
