So I made a thruster mod for a different r32 mod (ignore the missing texture) And I want to be able to turn off the thrusters when you do not want them. I tried copying the Jato button into my thruster Lua code, but since there is basically no documentation, I can't tell what doesn't work. Jet controller Lua. From jet pigeon mod ( a bit modified) Code: local M = {} M.type = "auxiliary" M.defaultOrder = 500 local rpm = 0 local outputmin = 0 local outputmax = 1 local thrust = 0 electrics.values.Jet = 0 local lastFuelRatio = 0 local function init(jbeamData) min = jbeamData.min or 4000 max = jbeamData.max or 6000 end local function updateSimpleControlButtons() extensions.ui_simplePowertrainControl.setButton("jato_" .. M.name, "JATO", "powertrain_jato", "0072bc", lastFuelRatio, "electrics.values.jatoInput = 1 - (electrics.values.jatoInput or 0)") end local function rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) local output = (rpm - min) / (max - min) * (outputmax - outputmin) + outputmin return output end local function updateGFX(dt) local RocketInput = min(electrics.values.jatoInput or 0, 1) print(rpm) rpm = electrics.values.rpm if rpm >= min then thrust = rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) else thrust = 0 end electrics.values.Jet = thrust * electrics.values.throttle_input end M.updateGFX =

Looks like you didn't put the updateSimpleControlButtons() function in the public interface (the thing at the end of the lua file)
could you elaborate? Code: local M = {} M.type = "auxiliary" M.defaultOrder = 500 local rpm = 0 local outputmin = 0 local outputmax = 1 local thrust = 0 electrics.values.Jet = 0 local lastFuelRatio = 0 local function init(jbeamData) min = jbeamData.min or 4000 max = jbeamData.max or 6000 end local function updateSimpleControlButtons() extensions.ui_simplePowertrainControl.setButton("jato_" .. M.name, "JATO", "powertrain_jato", "0072bc", lastFuelRatio, "electrics.values.jatoInput = 1 - (electrics.values.jatoInput or 0)") end local function rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) local output = (rpm - min) / (max - min) * (outputmax - outputmin) + outputmin return output end local function updateGFX(dt) local RocketInput = min(electrics.values.jatoInput or 0, 1) print(rpm) rpm = electrics.values.rpm if rpm >= min then thrust = rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) else thrust = 0 end electrics.values.Jet = thrust * electrics.values.throttle_input end M.updateGFX = updateGFX M.init = init M.updateSimpleControlButtons = updateSimpleControlButtons return M this does nothing
The function also needs to be called at the end of updateGFX. And your lastFuelRatio can't be permanently 0, you can change it to 1 instead, and ideally to the amount of jet fuel left.
Code: local M = {} M.type = "auxiliary" M.defaultOrder = 500 local rpm = 0 local outputmin = 0 local outputmax = 1 local thrust = 0 electrics.values.Jet = 0 local lastFuelRatio = 1 local function init(jbeamData) min = jbeamData.min or 4000 max = jbeamData.max or 6000 end local function updateSimpleControlButtons() extensions.ui_simplePowertrainControl.setButton("jato_" .. M.name, "JATO", "powertrain_jato", "0072bc", lastFuelRatio, "electrics.values.jatoInput = 1 - (electrics.values.jatoInput or 0)") end local function rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) local output = (rpm - min) / (max - min) * (outputmax - outputmin) + outputmin return output end local function updateGFX(dt) local RocketInput = min(electrics.values.jatoInput or 0, 1) print(rpm) rpm = electrics.values.rpm if rpm >= min then thrust = rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) else thrust = 0 end electrics.values.Jet = thrust * electrics.values.throttle_input updateSimpleControlButtons() end M.updateGFX = updateGFX M.init = init M.updateSimpleControlButtons = updateSimpleControlButtons return M so this should work? could you provide documentation for the extensions.ui_simplePowertrainControl.setButton, there is none availabe
The documentation for this is work in progress as there are many codependent systems that need to be documented. This should work from the look of it
It just doesn't for some reason, did I put all the variables in SetButton correctly? or I didn't define something else that I needed
What exactly is not working? Is the goal for now just to get the button to show up, or to have it fully working? Because it should be showing up, but there is nothing that will make it functional yet.
Can you check the console? It's really weird that part of the code is working and the other part not, usually an error would disable the whole file.
I think I have a theory on why it doesn't work, I'm gonna check and get back --- Post updated --- okay, because I forgot to rename the controller, it was always using the one that came with the jetgion mod, not the modified mod. Now it shows the button, the question is how do I make it work now I also decided to use the button to display current amount of thrust.
Good that it was easy to fix. Now you need to add a new variable called "jet_disabled" for example, and in the long line with setButton in the last quotation marks change electrics.values.jatoInput to your jet_disabled value. Then in the line where you set electrics.values.jet you can multiply it by this value. That will set the jet to 0 when the button is disabled and the calculated value when it's enabled. I hope you understand.
okay, because I forgot to rename the controller, it was always using the one that came with the jetgion mod, not the modified mod. Now it Is this correct? Code: local M = {} M.type = "auxiliary" M.defaultOrder = 500 local rpm = 0 local outputmin = 0 local outputmax = 1 local thrust = 0 local indicator = 1 local JetsEnable = 1 electrics.values.Jet = 0 local lastFuelRatio = 1 local function init(jbeamData) min = jbeamData.min or 4000 max = jbeamData.max or 6000 end local function updateSimpleControlButtons() extensions.ui_simplePowertrainControl.setButton("jato_" .. M.name, "Jets", "powertrain_jato", "0072bc", indicator, "JetsEnable = 1 - (JetsEnable or 0)") end local function rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) local output = (rpm - min) / (max - min) * (outputmax - outputmin) + outputmin if output > outputmax then return outputmax else return output end end local function updateGFX(dt) rpm = electrics.values.rpm if rpm >= min then thrust = rpmthrust(rpm, min, max, outputmin, outputmax) indicator = thrust else thrust = 0 indicator = 0.01 end electrics.values.Jet = thrust * electrics.values.throttle_input * JetsEnable updateSimpleControlButtons() end M.updateGFX = updateGFX M.init = init M.updateSimpleControlButtons = updateSimpleControlButtons return M
