XML-Gauge nested case-statements

[OneDownOne2Go 0]

Hi,I'm quite new to XML-gauge programming and to XML at all.Based On what I found in MS- and 3rd-Party-Files I started doing gauges and it worked quite well. Only thing I really hate is this stack-thingy when constructing more complex conditional statements.I wonder if there is a way to do that like it was back the days of procedural C, when I was young and learnd things easiely ;-) Doing that, you end up with code looking like this:(A:Circuit general panel on, bool)(A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE, psi) 10.00 > if{ 1 } els{ 0 }(A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE, psi) 25.00 < if{ 1 } els{ 0 }not worth to mention that this is not working at all. Does anybody know if there is a way to do that, or do I have to learn new tricks as an old dog?best regards and thanks in advance for any reply.

Hi,The syntax= (A:Circuit general panel on,bool)(A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 10.00 > if{ 1 } els{ 0 } some more: (A:Circuit general panel on,bool)(A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 10.00 < if{ 0 } (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 10.00 > (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 25.00 < and if{ 1 } (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 25.00 > if{ 2 } or(A:Circuit general panel on,bool) if{ (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 10.00 < if{ 0 } els{ (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 10.00 > (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 25.00 < and if{ 1 } els{ (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 25.00 > if{ 2 } } } }or with s and l:(A:Circuit general panel on,bool) if{ (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) s0 10.00 < if{ 0 } els{ l0 10.00 > l0 25.00 < and if{ 1 } els{ l0 25.00 > if{ 2 } } } }Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Thanks alot for the fast reply, I'll give it a try

Hi,If you only want a warning between 10 and 25 try:(A:Circuit general panel on,bool) if{ (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) s0 10.00 > l0 25.00 < and if{ 1 } }Hope it helps,Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Hi Or (A:Circuit general panel on,bool) if{ 10 25 (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) rng if{ 1 } }

Guys,Comparisons between two values (ie Value1 Value2 >= or Value1 Value2 == ; etc) always result in a boolean 0 if false or 1 if true, therefore it isn't necessary to use if{}/els{} operators to obtain the desired value. It is ok to code,for example, 10 25 (A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) rngor(A:GENERAL ENG1 FUEL PRESSURE,psi) 25 >etc.Tom

Well,I really did my best and tried all the stuff u guys suggested.I guess it's my fault that nothing's working. I attach some sample to this post, maybe someone can take a look and tell me what my problem is.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/167621.txt

Hi,(A:Circuit general panel on,bool) 10 25 (A:GENERAL ENG1 OIL PRESSURE,psi) rng and Should work.Is the name of the bitmap ok?Mind the spaces. Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

[taguilo 33]

Hi, Is the bitmap name spelled ok?Tom

Thanks alot, now it's working!The bitmap name was not spelled okay, and some other "minor mistakes"I had a last hard time finding that 1 + 1 is 2 in the real world, but not when tinkering with bool-expressions, but now it does what it was expected to. ;-)

So,0 and 0 = 01 and 0 = 00 and 1 = 01 and 1 = 1Tom

Hi,Actually Tom was right and i made an error.If more are wanted i use, here 4 (0-3):(L:first,bool) (L:second,number) 100 > if{ (L:third,bool) } 2 * + Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
