Voice Attack - Conditional commands

Unfortunately going into super cruise auto turns your lights off as well as coming out of sc (yes you can turn your lights on in sc) so it will be out of sync. I suppose you could catch this condition though although I'm not quite sure what other "auto setting" events there might be ingame. I like the idea of the reset. I'm working on my own profile and this post was great help. From a fellow coder, thanks.

Hi,

This might be true, however could you not have VA go and switch your lights off as part of the going into Super Cruise command?

Using the conditional check and if on they get switched off, no need for VA to give you any acknowledgement, just to carry out the check of the status if =1 then switch them off if required and go into Super Cruise.

The ideal thing (in my opinion) is to have "reset" commands for your variables (I have two). One that resets the variables to a basic state for when in station, and one to reset things in space.

And since from commands, you can execute other commands you already have, you can have those reset commands activate as part of your other procedures, be it docking, FSD and the like.

On another note, I actually work with multiple profiles at a time, and thus I can have nested commands that only trigger if I activate the prerequisite command. So gives me an overall larger vocabulary to work with in the whole, but limits it to a bit at a time so that I don't accidentally trigger commands while in conversation with other players. Such as navigation profiles, to allow me to easily search the galaxy map while not having easy access to my keyboard and even typing out whole messages for the comm panels.
As with everything voice attack, it's a continual work in progress as I add more functions, possibilities and even just think of new ways to use it.

FD just needs to put support for VA in the base game. If the game can feedback what is going on inside it, VA will become heavenly

But or course... Thanks guys for all the examples and profiles, I thought I had it setup pretty complex to fit my roleplaying needs but your stuff is making it so much better

Has anyone tried to use VA to plot a route in the Galaxy Map?, I'm only talking about one jump to start with.

I was thinking of showing the galaxy map and then seeing if I could get focus to the Search Field and spell out the Star/System name, then Plot the Route.

Anyone tried this?

On a side note, I was even thinking of having more than one voice, for example, one for the main commands, then have it changed whilst in the Galaxy Map.

Just had a rather mad thought.... If you were using two voices seeing if you could get VA to respond from one to the other?! Have the Navigator voice fallout or make snide remarks to the main voice! As I said, slightly bonkers, but would be very amusing, at least to me.

Regards

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on why my Toggle isn't working?

I'm trying to automate the Navigation, what I want to do is say "Plot Route" and VA will open the Galaxy Map and place the cursor into the Search text box. This I've been able to do, however I'm trying to create another command that will ensure that Fast Route is clicked. This command e.g. "Set Navigation" will ensure that Fast Route has been ticked for me.

Here is what I've tried: -

Code:

Begin Condition : [FastRoute] Equals 1    Press M key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
    Pause 1 second
    Move mouse cursor to (179,143)
    Pause 1 second
    Click left mouse button
    Pause 1 second
    Move mouse cursor to (404,614)
    Pause 1 second
    Click left mouse button
    Pause 1 second
    Press M key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
    Pause 1 second
End Condition - Exit when condition met

This I've tried on its own ("Fast Route On") and it doesn't carry out any of the commands.

Any ideas as to what I have or haven't done?

A little puzzled :S

Thanks & Regards

Please ignore the above as I've added it to a pre-flight check command where it enables it.

I don't understand why you have to make things so complicated, I just have my VA set to turn lights on or off when I say lights and when I say docking it will put the landing gear up or down etc etc.

I like hearing a different response to opposite commands.

For instance, I say, "lights on," and Alice replies, "lights on, sir, don't forget the electricity bill!"

For "lights off" she says, "hmmm it's gone all dark."

Mine does have diffirent response's if the lights are on or off.

simply "lights on" and "lights off"...

When you use the Say with text to speech command you can pick which voice to say it in, it defaults to the default voice used in windows.
Bypass it by selecting one of the installed voices for the dropdown when you are configuring the text to speech command.

Thanks OP. Ive paid for voice attack a while back but my miked headphones have a broken mike and a new set arrives tomorrow. I look forward to it. I hope I can request docking with it etc.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at this and a play around with it.

I have a question about voice attack.

I purchased it yesterday.
And set my commands ant keybindings are all set!

But the software does not recognize what i say!
Is it working via its own recognition engine? or microsoft engine?
Why doesn't it recognize my voice (which i speak properly)

It uses Microsoft speech engine, did you train yours? is your mic working?

You might have to run through the Microsoft Speech Training a few more times for it to hone in. The other thing to look for is any accents that it doesn't understand. For instance, some speakers might need to change a command with the word "Beta" in it to say "Beater" or "Beeta".

Hi DoubleDee
Thank you for posting this
I found the demo really easy to follow and just what I was looking for to help me understand conditions in voice attack.

Thanks

I have been using voice attack for a while now but one thing I am having trouble with is

It keeps doing stuff even when I am saying nothing.

I have made it functional by having a really strict tolerance on the voice match but even so it still picks up ghost words sometimes.... On the other hand because the recognition so so strict sometimes I have to shout at it multiple times to get it to do anything.

Is they a way to slacken the strictness but at the same time increase the baseline for the loudness or strength of a command so it along be trying to pick up background noise any interpreting as commands.

Not sure I am explaining myself well.

I'm puzzled.
I set up the lights command as dizzy did. And it works a treat. Even added the extra command to let me know if the lights are on/off already.
But when I reboot the computer it stops sending the key press and doesn't work any longer. Has anyone experienced this ??
im developing a nervous twitch.

Update.....I have removed the begin and end conditional block for the main command sequence. And kept the beginning/end conditions for the repeat (already done) order. Seems to work even after restarting.
