Title: need help with script
Post by: Blacksmith on July 14, 2015, 07:22:48 AM

i have this code in the signal script,

if (sig == mc.ISIG_INPUT1) and (state == 1) then
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst)
end

but what if i have two inputs

something like this  : 

 if ((sig == mc.ISIG_INPUT1) and (state == 1)) and ((sig == mc.ISIG_INPUT10) and (state == 1))
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst)
end


how do i do that ?

Code: [Select]

local Input1 = 0;
local Input10 = 0;
local hSig = 0;

hSig = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.ISIG_INPUT1);
Input1 = mc.mcSignalGetState(hSig);

hSig = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.ISIG_INPUT10);
Input10 = mc.mcSignalGetState(hSig);

if (Input1 and Input10 and (state ==1)) then
    local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
    mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst);
end

Found out that the piece of script from poppabear isn't working as intended. If you only activate one of either inputs the task wil already be executed.
the correct way to do this is.

local Input1 = 0;
local Input10 = 0;
local hSig = 0;

hSig = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.ISIG_INPUT1);
Input1 = mc.mcSignalGetState(hSig);

hSig = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.ISIG_INPUT10);
Input10 = mc.mcSignalGetState(hSig);

if ((Input1 == 1) and (Input10 ==1)) then
    local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
    mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst);
end


I hope it is to some use.

Marco.
