hi
i was wondering if anyone using voice attack had worked out
away of opening the system map ,i find that the map does not have a default, rest or place.
so the mouse position does not always correspond to where the map icon is.

any help please...

Can anyone confirm? I know there is a bind for galaxy map but never seen one for system map unless the latest update added it.

I've never seen one. Those guys are confused or full of balogna, haha. But I would LOVE to have a keybind for System Map, yes, yes I would...

Unless its recent I don't think there is separate buttons for the System map. I believe it is mapped as such to your UI buttons/directions as it seems to work with these on my HOTAS.

Easy enough.

VA lets you position your mouse and run mouse functions (click da button for example).
All you do is assign a hotkey for your map to VA, then use VA to record and position your mouse and simulate a button click. The Galaxy Map seems to place the information popup for each star in the same place, so you can rely on that.
In addition, it helps if you click the Arrow on the Navigation tab that takes you to your current location.

So, in summary you'll need the following:

Command to execute your Galaxy Map hotkey. (Simple keypress)
Pause(1s)
Place cursor at the Navigation tab coords (use the "mouse" commands)
Pause (0.2s)
Click the mouse button (use the "mouse" commands again)
Pause (0.2s)
Place cursor at the Arrow which takes you to your current location.
Pause (0.2s)
Click the button
Pause (0.2s) - This will cause an issue if you aren't currently focused on your location, but you can place this into two separate commands which you'll have to manually activate: "Current Location" or "Current Location No Wait" for example. I've found "Current Location" pausing for about 3s to be okay.
- star popup is automatically shown -
Place cursor at View System Map icon
Pause (0.2s)
Click the mouse button.

Then you can have two commands "Exit" and "Exit Galaxy Map" depending on how you got to your System Map.

Exit for exiting the system map and either returning to the game or to the galaxy map (if you accessed the system map from your nav panel then this command will return you to the game).

Exit Galaxy Map will exit the system map and the galaxy map one after another by pressing Backspace (or whatever hotkey you've set for exiting from menus and such).
-------

Alternatively, you can do the following:

Switch to navigation panel,
keypress down to select system map,
keypress select to open system map.

You'll need Begin Conditionals to make sure what tab you're on and what not; but it's simple enough to implement.
I can have a look at making a quick profile do to that for you when I get home later today if you want? (5pm CAT).


Hope that helps.


And no, there is no system map hotkey at the moment.

I would really like to know about this begin condition i have no idea how to implement it

In VA, Begin Conditionals use session-based variables ( I think they persist through profile changes). Basically what this means is that when you load a profile, any variables you have are set to "Not Set" (neither true, nor false nor have a value). You must set the variable yourself; either through the use of an Initialisation command (you open your profile and say "Initialise" or something) or some other means. And when you close VA, those variables are freed.

From there you can use Begin Conditionals to determine what must happen based on a particular variables value.
Add Conditionals from the New Command window by clicking on "Other" and selecting "Begin Conditional" from the drop down; I've added the VA help website at the end of this post.

For example:
Assuming you start from dock.

"Initialise"
Set [landing_gear_down] = 1
Click to expand...


When you take off, you can have the following command:

"Landing gear"
Begin Conditional [landing_gear_down] Equals 1
KeyPress("L") and hold for (0.2s) and release;
Set [landing_gear_down] To 0;
Play ASTRA Audio file "Gear Up"
End Conditional Exit on End Conditional

Begin Conditional [landing_gear_down] Equals 0
KeyPress("L") and hold for (0.2s) and release;
Set [landing_gear_down] To 1;
Play ASTRA Audio file "Gear Up"
End Conditional Exit on End Conditional

Begin Conditional [landing_gear_down] Equals Not Set
Play ASTRA Audio File "Unable to Comply"
End Conditional Exit on End Conditional
Click to expand...
And that's pretty much how they work.
In this particular instance you won't actually need a landing_gear_down command since the in-game computer tells you if your gear is up or down, but if you want to use custom audio for it (like the A.S.T.R.A voice pack (highly recommended)) then this is best.
