Cockpit Shaking

[cyyz_spotter]

I have been trying to implement cockpit shaking into the An-124 but I have no idea why my Nasal script is not doing anything, I know it works because I tried manually toggling it through the property browser. It is supposed to use the "gear-compression-norm" property for the front gears to determine when it will trigger the cockpit shake which I borrowed from the 727. Does this have something to do with the fact that it is an Yasim aircraft and the 727 is an JSBSim aircraft? Here is the code

Code: Select all

var shakeEffectB727 = props.globals.initNode("/systems/shake/effect",0,"BOOL");
var shakeB727 = props.globals.initNode("/systems/shake/shaking",0,"DOUBLE");
var rSpeed = 0;
var sf = 0;
var n_g_c = 0;
var n_g_l = 0;
var n_g_r = 0;

var theShakeEffect = func{
   n_g_c = getprop("/gear/gear[0]/compression-norm") or 0;
   n_g_l = getprop("/gear/gear[1]/compression-norm") or 0;
   n_g_r = getprop("/gear/gear[2]/compression-norm") or 0;
   rSpeed = getprop("/gear/gear[0]/rollspeed-ms") or 0;
   sf = rSpeed / 94000;

   if (shakeEffectB727.getBoolValue() and (n_g_c > 0 or n_g_l > 0 or n_g_r > 0)) {
      interpolate("/systems/shake/shaking", sf, 0.03);
      settimer(func {
         interpolate("/systems/shake/shaking", -sf * 2, 0.03);
      }, 0.06);
      settimer(func {
         interpolate("/systems/shake/shaking", sf, 0.03);
      }, 0.12);
      settimer(theShakeEffect, 0.09);   
   } else {
      setprop("/systems/shake/shaking", 0);
      setprop("/systems/shake/effect",0);      
   }      
}

setlistener("/systems/shake/effect", func(state){
   if(state.getBoolValue()){
      theShakeEffect();
   }
}, 1, 0);

I think that the property "/systems/shake/shaking" is aircraft/system specific and not a generic property of the simulator.
This may be the reason why you don't see it doing something....
