smooth(clamp01(boolX), clamp01(boolX)*(f/c))
f = activation frequency (Hz)
c = total activation count
boolX = some boolean data type (e.g. FireWeapons)
If the boolX is on, the target value is set to 1, the rate of change becomes f/c, thereby increasing by that amount every second.
You can have stuff activate every for > n/c, where n is the order number of the "activatee"
e.g. a series of 5 detachers would go 1/5, 2/5, 3/5.. etc.
This means weapons that are fired by FireWeapons, but w/o having to be an actual "weapon" and much more. The irreversible boolean can be used in other scenarios to define a soft cap for certain inputs. e.g. a usage limit for certain functions.
This particular set of detachers is set to fire when you press FireWeapons long enough. It does not return back to 0 when you release the button. It shoots one shot / sec.

I'm assuming that the
sumfunction added in later versions made this largely redundant?Greetings! I preventively apologise for possibly irritating question, but is it possible use those boolean writings to provide a fixed launch sequence for multiple units of custom ordnance? If it is, than how can I implement it? I am just asking because I'd like to implement the ordnance that uses small jet engines to realistically imitate the work of solid fuel engines and pyrocartridges, because i can freely modify the thrust of them, while our basic unguided rocket provides the unchangeable thrust of 500kgf. Also, as it seems to me, the launch sequence of ordnance is oftenly erratic, which is why am I asking you.
@SnoWFLakE0s neat, gonna use that in my cockpit ;)

Yes.
does this work with activation groups? ex: keep pressed AG7, that pulls a handle and the canopy is jettinsoned, following, another handle pull(a different one) and the seat ejects?

Anything works as long as you can represent it mathematically. Try building a function for it first mathematically, if you have trouble converting that to FT I can help you there.
