Mission Editor: Indicator ID

[thdman1511]

I have been going through the manual and come across "COCKPIT INDICATION TEXT IS EQUAL TO" function and it tells me that the console is needed, however it also say that indicator ID can be found in Scripts\Aircrafts\Aircraft name\cockpit\device_init.lua. What I am wondering is the locations still the same or has it changed.

 

The reason I ask is because when I go to Scipts\Aircrafts there is no names of the aircrafts only the _Common folder, which has folders for the Kneeboard, Padlock and triggersystem along with alot of individual lua files.

 

Can anyone advise me how to find the indicator IDs for above trigger function.

Take a look at this thread.

HI Ian thanks for the reply, just wondering will this work on the steam edition of DCS World, as I followed the video, but it doesnt seem to want to connect. So I am guessing it doesnt work for steam edition of DCS World.

It also works with the Steam version (exact same setup steps).

 

Are there any errors in your dcs.log? Any firewalls or antivirus programs that might interfere with the (localhost) network connection between DCS and the node.js server?

Thanks again for your prompt reply. In the log there was a mission error,

 

00159.679 ERROR DCS: Mission script error: : [string "Withcraft.start(_G)"]:1: attempt to index global 'Withcraft' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

[C]: ?

[string "Withcraft.start(_G)"]:1: in main chunk

00166.956 INFO Config: netview stopped

 

I think the error could be with [C] ?

 

if I am right it looks like its trying to access my C: drive, however all the files are on my F drive, as my C drive is my system drive and all my software and games are on my F drive.

 

I did turn off my antivirus and firewall.

You have mistyped "witchcraft" in your DO SCRIPT action. It is also case-sensitive.

 

The line "[C]: ?" just means that this particular function in the stack trace is implemented in C, so there is no name to display.
