Target Script for Autopilot Button (Warthog)

Hey,

im trying to figure out Target Scripts. So far i have allready some nice results, but currently i have a problem i couldnt solve with manual and the internet.

The problem is the Autopilot Engage/Disengage Button on the Warthog Throttle.

I want them to just work like the L/G Warn Button, but it seems like he has 2 Events.

APENG and APDIS.

Currently i want to use it in Falcon BMS to Emergency Jettison external Stores.

But for that i need to press that Button 3 Seconds. So PULSE will not work.

Any Tips/Ideas?

Untested Code - assuming CTRL-J is 'Jettison Stores':

MapKey(&Throttle, APENG, CHAIN(DOWN+L_CTL+'j';D(3000);UP+L_CTL+'j')); 

The basic idea is to split the command in a 'down' and 'up' component and join them with a delay of 3 secs.

Interesting, I use comma instead of semi-colon in the CHAIN sequence.

Jup.. must be ',' instead of ';' in CHAIN.

As I wrote: Untested - meaning: wrote from memory.

Anyway: Thx for the correction!

The way RightStuff coded it works no matter how long you press the Autopilot button (i.e. tap the button it will still hold the key for 3 seconds). If this is what you want, it's good code. However, if you want to actually hold the Autopilot button for 3 seconds to jettison stores, you can simply do this:

MapKey(&Throttle, APENG, L_CTL+'j');

There are plenty of ways to skin the cat in TARGET; these are just 2.

EDIT: Don't worry about APENG vs. APDIS. They're the same button. I have a feeling it is just a mistake that was left in TARGET because it doesn't hurt anything and allows for backward compatibility.

This was something i tried.

It seems like the Buttons will be held with this command and never released.

MapKey(&Throttle, APENG, L_CTL+'j');

I didnt know how to chain commands, so thanks. I will use this if i cant get the Button to work as it should. But i would prefer to hold the button 3 secs on my own that i can disrupt this when needed.
