LSO score output?

Hello,

Please bare with me as I'm a bit of a LUA noob; has anyone found out how (if indeed it's possible) how to output landing scores issued by the LSO? I can't find anything documented, but that might be because it's quite new.

Ultimately I'm looking to record scores to a file.

Thanks.

+1 nice idea, save it to a history file would be nice.

it looks to me like the messages from the LSO are coming directly from the C/C++ VM and not Lua. At the minute there's no way they can be amended/saved/altered unless you start hooking onto the GUI functions. I've not looked super hard at it so I may be wrong though.

I think you can get them from the debrief in single player and log file in multiplayer

it's returned in event data, but unfortunately partial info so it can be picked up incorrectly. I believe it's been asked for the event to be more detailed.

Hi! For everyone else struggling with this:

_stats.eventHandler = {
   onEvent = function(self, e)
       if e.id == world.event.S_EVENT_PLAYER_COMMENT then
           -- todo: your code here
       end
   end
}


world.addEventHandler(_stats.eventHandler)

e contains an Event like this:

{"comment":"LSO: GRADE:C : _FX_  _LOIC_  _PIC_  _PPPIC_  _LOAR_  WIRE# 1 _EGIW_ [bC]","id":22,"time":28897.379}

You can use this and couple it time-wise with the normal landing event to get information about who did the landing.

I have no good statistics yet, but in my first tests the player_comment-Event was dispatched maximum 2 seconds after the landing event.

Edit: And sometimes the landing event is dispatched after the LSO grading

Be sure to check that the comment starts with "LSO: ".

EDIT:

Waveoffs are a bit hard, because one can not reliably connect them to individual players / units. I've asked an ED programmer if we could add the unit id / player id to this event. Should I get an answer I'll add it here.

Good one, thanks!

For others who come across this later, don't forget to define the variable _stats in the beginning of the script, otherwise it will throw an error.

_stats = {};

_stats.eventHandler = { 
[indent]onEvent = function(self, e) if e.id == world.event.S_EVENT_PLAYER_COMMENT then[/indent]


 [indent=3]-- todo: your code here[/indent]
 [indent=2]end[/indent]
 

[indent]end[/indent]



}
world.addEventHandler(_stats.eventHandler)

At somepoint this will change. There is a dedicated LSO score event that will eventually be added.

Are there any news on this? 

Does this event still has only limited information  and not even an initiator?

Also very interested in a download feature / landing score log file or alike.
