### get\_console

get\_console returns a value that represents the console the Cronus Zen is currently connected to.

Syntax

get\_console();

Parameters

None

Returns

A value representing the console type (e.g., PS4, XB1, SWITCH, etc.).

***

### set\_val

set\_val sets the output value of a controller entry (button or axis) to be sent to the console. This is the most commonly used function in GPC scripting.

Code-Snippet

```
main {
    // Sets the value of XB1_RT to 100 (fully pressed)
    set_val(XB1_RT, 100);
}
```

Syntax

set\_val( \<identifier>, \<value> );

Parameters

\<identifier> : The controller entry identifier (e.g., XB1\_RT, PS4\_R2).

\<value> : The value to set, ranging from -100 to 100.

Returns

Nothing

***

### block\_all\_inputs

block\_all\_inputs prevents any data from being sent to the console for the current iteration of the main loop.

Syntax

block\_all\_inputs();

Parameters

None

Returns

Nothing

***

### ps4\_authtimeout

ps4\_authtimeout checks if the PS4 authentication has timed out. This is primarily used when using controllers that require periodic re-authentication on the PS4.

Syntax

ps4\_authtimeout();

Parameters

None

Returns

TRUE if the authentication has timed out, FALSE otherwise.

***

### output\_reconnection

output\_reconnection checks the status of the output connection to the console.

Syntax

output\_reconnection();

Parameters

None

Returns

Returns the status of the reconnection process.

***

### output\_protocol

output\_protocol sets the output protocol for the Cronus Zen to communicate with the console.

Syntax

output\_protocol( \<protocol> );

Parameters

\<protocol> : The protocol constant (e.g., PROTOCOL\_PS4, PROTOCOL\_XB1).

Returns

Nothing

***

### get\_led

get\_led returns the current state (on/off/brightness) of a specified LED on the controller.

Syntax

get\_led( \<led\_id> );

Parameters

\<led\_id> : The identifier for the LED.

Returns

The current value/state of the LED.

***

### get\_rumble

get\_rumble returns the current strength value of a specific rumble motor as sent by the console.

Syntax

get\_rumble( \<rumble\_id> );

Parameters

\<rumble\_id> : The identifier for the rumble motor (e.g., RUMBLE\_A, RUMBLE\_B).

Returns

The current rumble value (0 to 100).
