Description

Is there a way to reliably trigger a hardware/DMX event, when any missile is launched? I know, I can use TubeFiring[1-15] as a trigger variable, but it only seems to work for HVLI missiles.

I assume that, when launching another missile, the weapon_tube.isFiring() state is true for a too short period of time to be detected by the hardwareController. Or am I missing something else?

Research direction

Start by tracing the hardwareController handling of weapon_tube.isFiring() and compare it with the TubeFiring[1-15] trigger variable. Confirm how non-HVLI missile launches are represented, then verify that every missile launch produces a reliably detectable DMX event.
