IRacing

Guys, how can I get info if certain car is in the same lap as me or not? Immediately - not on start/finish line - like it works with relative positions in black box.

Trying to implement color indication of lapped cars (like blue/red relative in iracing). Can't find appropriate property.

Hi.
Try using the gap value from the tracker. PersistantTrackerPlugin.DriverAhead_XX_Gap
And compare it to your best lap time. DataCorePlugin.GameData.BestLapTime

Something like this:
Gap / Best > 0.5
Gap / Best < 0.5

Thanks for reply, but I don't get the idea.Β 

PersistantTrackerPlugin.DriverAhead_XX_Gap shows actual gap without lapping (I checked πŸ™‚ ), so lapped car just in front of me will have gap of lets say 1 sec. How comparing it to best time can show me lapping?

Am I missing something?

Hi,
I think this function gives the total gap: drivergaptoplayer(raceposition)
Maybe that's what I was using. I can't remember for sure.

It seems to work!

Still little issues, but fine in general - thanks!

Can you help me again please?

How can I pass [iRacingExtraProperties.iRacing_DriverAhead_00_ClassColor] (or other color) to color of element background?

Computed color is not very helpful because then I have to list possible colors etc. I want just to pass iracing color straight to text background color.

Hi,
Use the computed value instead

Thanks for reply, mate!

It was first that came to my mind. But it doesn't work for some reason. I mean it shows colour number in raw (and number changes in game if I put it to text - just to check - so it works on IRacing side), but it doesn't affect bg colour. Looks like smth is missing like colour conversion of some kind.

The format is correct.
This is how I use these color properties.
Did you reload your dash after saving?
Depending on how/where it's loaded this can be necessary.

It is format by the end. At first I didn't pay attention, but

[iRacingExtraProperties.iRacing_DriverAhead_00_ClassColor]

Β gives color like this

0x33ceff

So to make it work I have to do the following

'#'+right([iRacingExtraProperties.iRacing_DriverAhead_00_ClassColor], 0, 6)

@nirat Hi, it shouldn't.
Maybe it did on older versions.
Look at this prop: IRacingExtraProperties.PluginVersion
The current version in 2.0.3
Available here: https://www.simhubdash.com/community-2/postid/1671

Heh, the only version property I can find is IRacingExtraProperties.UniversalSimHubDashforIracing.CurrentVersion - 1.52

I guess it's pretty old. πŸ™‚ I never updated it honestly - SimHub only - thought it's enough.

So to update it I just replace Romainrob.iRacingExtraProperties.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\SimHub?

Yes, overwrite the dll to update the plugin.
If you use some of my dash or other plugins, use the installer instead.
