Re: Mechanical Push Button in Xplane Cockpit mapping

Good day thank you for the response. I have tried using xpl_get but I really am not experienced enough in lua. I mapped datarefs that simply toggle the switch on and off with a single button, but im lucky i got that far. Would you kindly be able to write one of your solutions out for me, with that I...

Re: Xplane 11 Function and Numpad Keys not working

Admin, Question, I have been practising luamacro scripts and it has been going great for the xpl_commands. However for datarefs I am struggling. I have found HIDmacros help but it doesn't translate to luamacros. For my IXEG 737-300, There are limited commands, but it has a dataref illustrated in its...

Re: Xplane 11 Function and Numpad Keys not working

Alright,
I have everything working!

Other than a single button and that is CMD A autopilot as NUMPAD 0.
In fact I cannot even get the print elseif command to populate correct value.

Re: Xplane 11 Function and Numpad Keys not working

It would seem that num lock may be an issue? Some keys do not show a value when pressed, others will but only with num lock on, others only with num lock off?

When I press numlock on my 1st keyboard, the num lock light illuminates on my upper keyboard as well?

Re: Xplane 11 Function and Numpad Keys not working

Thanks for the reply I will try when I'm off work. One last request, as you can see towards the top of the script, some buttons mean switch down, and ive tried to use ctrl+the button to make the switch go up. Useful for turning stuff off. I have tried the command found in hidmacros documentation to ...
