JSIActionGroupSwitch plugin action / forcedShutdown interaction

[MOARdV]

Spawned from #385 - if we try to force a plugin action off, it ends up ignoring the "force it off" statement, instead using the current state of the plugin.

ill test it now

[DeputyLOL]

doesn't work

[MOARdV]

Okay. Looks like the easy answer wasn't the right one. I'll have to put some more time on it.

[DeputyLOL]

I suspect it has something to do with the mastervariable as I think it worked before I added that

but it didn't deliver the needed results
as the button persistent would reverse.

[MOARdV]

Okay. My new working theory is that it's an interaction between the trigger event and the action group switch. I will have to instrument that code better so I can really see what it thinks it is doing.

[DeputyLOL]

Do you think it would be possible to be able to transfer a persistent variable to a different persistent variable?

I ask this because I have an icon on my altimeter bar that displays the selected altitude. It moves up and down as I increase and decrease the target altitude. I want it to stay where it is until I update it with a new altitude.

[MOARdV]

It is possible. Not yet, but maybe soon.

However, I think what you're trying to do does not require the trigger event. What you need to do is use the masterVariableName / masterVariableRange to indicate when the switch should be enabled. For example:

MODULE
{
    name = JSIActionGroupSwitch
    animationName = SwitchTumbleAnim
    switchTransform = SwitchColider
    actionName = plugin
    switchSound = ASET/ASET_Props/Sounds/tumbleClick01
    masterVariableName = CUSTOM_MOARdV_ScanEnable
    masterVariableRange = 0.1,1.1
    PLUGINACTION
    {
        name = JSIInternalRPMButtons
        actionMethod = RadarEnable
        stateMethod = RadarEnableState
    }
}

This is my switch for enabling the Gemini docking radar in my FASA Gemini pod. The switch will not work as long as the custom variable is false (=0). When the custom variable is true (=1), the switch functions normally. If the switch is on and the custom variable becomes false, the switch turns itself off again, and it stays off.

Not sure about that. I already thought of that before.
I disabled my trigger and used a mastervariable. It disabled the switch when it was supposed to, but still didn't turn off the autoland. Leading to my plane crashing because I couldn't navigate the mechjeb menus fast enough.
I then tried again with the trigger enabled. Same result. Except I had the mechjeb window open so I landed safely.

I'll try it again with the new build.

Fixed! Thank you!
