Help - what is _t ?

[Hippo 34]

Hi,

 

Sorry about this. I've come back to some files I'd written months ago and I have this code

 

 

function SF260_AP_HDG_PB ()

if _t('AP_HDG_PB') then

ipc.control(66106)

else

ipc.control(66107)

ipc.control(65809)

end

end

 

Now I can't for the life of me remember what the "if _t('AP_HDG_PB') then" does. I think I used after seeing it mentioned on a post on this forum - but can I find it now?

 

If anyone could let me know what it's for or point me to where it's explained, I'd be most grateful.

Sorry,

I have overseen this post.

 

the _t is a LINDA specific function and this is a toggler.

 

If you have a function example_ON () and example_OFF (), you use this toggle function in this way:

 

function example_toggle ()
   if _t('anyname') then
    example_ON ()
   else
    example_OFF ()
   end
end

 

 

You can use there also LUA variables as trigger.

Example as above, but have a look at the _tl now

 

function example_toggle ()
   if _tl("L:Your_Lua_Variable, 0) then
    example_ON ()
   else
    example_OFF ()
   end
end
