Question: how to get the variable returned from module's optionsDb.lua?

[uboats]

I'm trying to learn what the sequence that the module loads its lua scripts is.

 

What I think is that after start DCSW, the entry.lua of each module will be loaded only.

 

Then after choosing to enter a module, then other scripts will be loaded. But in what sequence?

 

Since I'm trying to read the variable returned from Options\optionsDb.lua.

 

return {
VariableStat = DbOption.new():setValue(false):checkbox(),
}

 

I think this 'VariableStat' is visible only for module itself. Since it is preset before the mission starts, I also thought other scripts of this module can recognize this variable. Then I tried something in other script (e.g. Cockpit/kneeboard_init.lua) like:

 

if VariableStat  == false then
   is_left = true
else
   is_left = false
end

 

The purpose is to determine the position of kneeboard according to the value preset in special tab of that module.

 

However, I found that 'VariableStat' is 'nil' which means it never able to be seen from other scripts of that module.

 

To make it works, what should I do? Or what func should I call to get the return of special options of each module?

 

Thanks
