Flagger Timing

Post by ddmx »

Would it be possible to add a line to the flaggers file for each flagger, that activated their sequence dependant on when the rider passes through a certain timing gate, or have it acting between two timing gates. My intended purpose: When a rider passes through timing gate 12, mechanic goes from stationary, to showing pitboard.

I'd rather add a general scripting engine for things like that. It would come in handy for a lot of different things.

i dont want to start a new thread for my suggestion, but i think it would be better when the guy who stands before a crash shows his yellow flag and not the one who stands after the crash, so ppl who are coming can see when there is a rider down. I hope this is good enough english. Can't even find good words ;)

DJ commented on this before:
DJ wrote:Each flagger can flag up to 4 timing gates, where it looks to see if you have fallen over up to that gate. Most people (including me) would make the gate next to the flagger the first gate, so the flagger will flag that section before him. But I've never thought of that before. I'll have to do that differently from now on
I'm not sure if anyone has tried it yet though.
