I even tried to use a double command in the commandbar.cfg e.g. raise_periscope;raise_periscope as the engine seems to understand two arguments in a IF case. Sadly the double command does not work.
Would have been nice to also autolower the SD radar when crashdiving...
oh welll.
Anyway, thks again!  |
You actually can add a button to the Ordersbar with SH4 Menumaker to get the effect you want. You could have either a two button set up or a three button set up, so it is not the BEST idea but it will work.
1.Two button solution:
Leave the raise/lower button like it is, set to "toggle" but add a "Stop Periscope" button so you don't have to have the periscope go all the way up if you are being 'stealthy'. The problem there, if you do not get high enough, the second push on the raise/lower causes the scope to lower.
2. Three button solution:
Second solution is to change the button to 'raise the whole scope' (NOT toggle as it is now.) add a button set to 'lower the whole scope', then between them have a stop button. So if the you stop the scope in the wrong place, you can go up or down a bit and stop it again.
I know....NOT an ideal solution but it will work. Also on my monitor I would need to delete one of the buttons I don't use much since adding a button would push it under the fuel, Co2 indicator.
