Slazi Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Hello again friendly mission makers! I've finally had a little time to get some scripting done to work on my mission. I'm starting to get the hang of lua. Classes working, functions returning, all that jazz. So I can interact with my script from DCS, but I'm now stuck because my script cannot interact with DCS yet. What I'm looking for is a list of DCS commands that can be accessed via lua. A few examples: I want references to specific groups. I want to get the names of all the active clients. I want to add and remove radio commands for players. I want to be able to change flags. - Done! (e.g trigger.action.setUserFlag(10, 1) - sets flag 10 to 1) I want to be able to tell dcs to load another script file from a location. I want to add weight to a player aircraft. I'm guessing there must be a place where I can find this information. But I couldn't find it in any of the stickies. MIST is available, but it does far more than I need from my scripts. I want to keep mine lightweight and modular. Thanks for reading! -- edit - sorry - I am aware of this (parts 1 and 2) http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Simulator_Scripting_Engine/DCS:_World_1.2.1/Part_1#Class_emulation I had seen this in the past, but forgotten about it. Am reviewing again now. Edited September 15, 2014 by Slazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFIan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Official documentation on the ED wiki: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Part_1 http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Part_2 Adding weight to an aircraft and getting information about MP players are not possible from a mission script as far as I know. SlMod might expose some info about connected players to mission scripts. DCS-BIOS | How to export CMSP, RWR, etc. through MonitorSetup.lua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazi Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks, Ian. I'll have to look at SiMod when I get some free time then. Witchcraft is working nicely for me btw :) Great mod. I'm surprised there is nothing to add weight by standard, it seems like something a lot of people would want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazi Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Can weight be added in the ME? Surely this is an essential element for moving stuff about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
