Feature Request Discussion - Smart Virtual Environment Tilt Additions

[driskel]

When testing the tilt mode via smart virtual, I got hung up in thinking that I had a configuration issue when tilting.  The game never made it to the next ball.  I soon realized it was because the ball that was in play when tilt occurred never made it back to the trough in virtual mode, I had to manually trigger the switch (s_trough_1) via keyboard.  

I think the smart_virtual configuration section could have the addition of 2 new settings.  These names are not great just trying to highlight the idea.

smart_virtual:

   enable_virtual_platform_start_active_switches_on_tilt: true

 

   #delay time before all enable_virtual_platform_start_active_switches are on.

   enable_virtual_platform_start_active_switches_on_tilt_time: 2s

This was we can simulate a full tilt in the smart virtual.

Thank you.

I guess this is nearly identical in usage as what occurs on ball_ending and ball_starting in smart virtual in terms of the trough

[driskel]

or even better, no new settings just wait for the tilt events to complete before toggling the start switches

I like the idea. Added an issue to track this: https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf/issues/1182
