MAMEHooker Script Options

[baritonomarchetto]

Hello everybody, I am toying with a SNK positional gun a friend of mine gave me.
I am testing the kicker with some games.
As most of you already know, there are games like Operation Thunderbolt outputting a state HIGH message when keeping the trigger pressed, not a pulsating HI/LO state change. To face this, I wrote a simple MAMEHooker script that should loop forever when the trigger is pressed to alternate the kicker state.

This is the script I wrote (othunder.mhs)

Code: [Select]

cmw 4 1., cmw 4 %Player1_Recoil_Piston%, cmw 4 x
wat 50
cmw 4 1., cmw 4 0, cmw 4 x
Now, as far as I know if I call this script from othunder.ini with the command "lfs" (loop from the script?) the script should loop forever:

Code: [Select]

Player1_Recoil_Piston=lfs othunder 0 %s%
Unfortunately it does not. It makes nothing. If instead I use read from the script (rfs) function, it works (only once, as expected)

Code: [Select]

Player1_Recoil_Piston=rfs othunder 0 %s%
Could someone confirm the function lfs actually works or eventually point out what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

Made some further testings yesterday. Looks like the "lfs" command doesn't like a waiting time equal to zero. Rising it to "20" fixed the issue
