Coordinate Based Events

This feature is being tested and may have some issues. Use at your own risk.

Coordinate Based Events is a feature that allows for custom events to occur when a plane enters a rectangular bounding box. This bounding box is setup by the user by marking the bottom left corner and the top right corner of the bounding box. ATC Buddy will then do the rest of the calculation to form a box around specified region, give or take a few pixels or so.

Variables

These variables can be used in a event block.

• callsign
  • Get the callsign of the aircraft that just entered the bounding box.
• dep_runway
  • This will return the departure runway, to set this up you need to put in the remarks: {"dep_runway": "xx"}
• scratchpad
  • Returns the scratchpad code given there is one entered. If not, it will return ??

Guidance - FORMS

Here are quick texts to help explain the inputs in more detail. If you see an error in grammar, phraseology, etc. please open an issue.

FORM - New Scenario

This form is used to make a new scenario for CBE, it requires the following inputs:

• Border Type
  • This is simply a border type. It is the shape in which will be used for the bounding perimeter, for now only rectangle is the possible option.
• Profile Name - Self explanatory, it's the name used for displaying the title for the scenario.
• Coordinate Pair (two pairs)
  • Coordinate Pair is in the format of <latitude><SPACE><longitude>. If you paste in the copied mouse coordinates from VRC, you can simply paste it in and it will work (make sure you tick off the "Format Mouse Coordinate in Deg/Min/Sec" in the VRC Settings page). This can be done by pressing CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + Dbl Right Click.
