Description

Description

When launching a new craft, the first time an action group for one of the wheel actions is activated it will not register.

What happens

The first time an action group with a rover wheel action attached it triggered the wheels will not register the action.

Versions affected

0.19

Notes

  • Each wheel action suffers from this independently: if action group 1 toggles motor, and action group 2 toggles steering on the same wheel, each must be triggered twice on a newly launched craft.
  • Manually triggering the action in the right-click menu for the wheel makes the first action group triggering behave as expected.

Using a fresh install of 19.1 I was able to reproduce the listed bug exactly as described, wherein action group 1 and action group 2 controlled "Toggle Motor" and "Toggle Steering", respectively, on a single pair of "RoveMax Model 2" rover wheels. I have also seen this occur on lights, engine gimbals, solar arrays, and animated items such as communications dishes.

I also noticed a related bug wherein if Action Group 3 and Action Group 4 control "Toggle Light" and "Turn Light On", respectively, on a single pair of lights of any type, turning the lights on via Action Group 4 (Turn Light On) correctly turns the lights on. However, if I then use Action Group 3 (Toggle Light), I must press it twice to correctly toggle the light off again. I assume that "Turn Light On" action group is not correctly setting a flag internally, or said flag is not being shared for "Toggle Light".

This bug does not mention that this only affects the following commands:

Toggle steering

Toggle motor

Toggle gimbal (this last one affects all gimballing engines)

All other action group commands function on the first press.

This still exists (or has returned) in .23.5. It's now affecting both RCS thrusters. Checked in my clean install on Linux.

The lights are the best example of this, putting the toggle on Action Group 3 & 4 as described above.

This appears to be solved, rover wheel action groups in 1.2.1 will work on the first press.
