Client LUA

[GGTharos]

I disagree. Put in a request in the wishlist forum to ask ED for examply what it is you need, and I will make sure they have a look at the least :)

 

You could cheat (it would be less efficient, but you could) with LoGetObjectByID by iterating through IDs.

[S77th-RYKE]

You can have your opinion and you also can choose your way to express it. You chosen a rather arrogant aproach to do so, with that confrontational atitude based on whatever power you think you have to get back at me. Rather strange defenition of politeness you have.

 

Your acusations are not consistent by saying my yet unfullfilled project would be more a cheat than using the 360º owell neck view like we had in previous LOMAC versions or the Bullseye or the ATC utilities. Your interest, as far as you made me understand may lie elsewhere but to discuss this LUA project. I do not know exactly what is you purpose for your agressive remarks, but I would like you to spare me from your lectures and rethink your atitude or focus your agresseviness onto something else.

 

Im not going to "enlighten you" as the objective of this project was made pretty clear already, And Im not in the mood to perpectuate this discussion into a charade.

 

I don't know why you insist on making this about me , YOU ARE THE ONE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CHEAT ...

 

I don't make any accusations I only quoted YOU , you dug your own hole pilotasso .

If they could filter the function or create a new one like:

 

LoGetOwnXYZ() or similar.

 

Thanks GG will post it now.

[Vati]

the funnyman did it again

 

Man, if this antenna feature is cheating, then so is TrackIR, especially since I can't turn it off to even the gameplay out when padlock is turned off.

LOL.. you arent serious are you? You actually compare trackir to padlock? LOL..

Have you ever used trackir? If you did, can you tell me where you bought it, since mine does not lock and track automatically.

OK I started to feel the ground here. Heres what I compiled based on what I think I need to export data:

 

*******************************************************

local file = io.open("./Temp/Export.log", "w")

Is this right to start viewing target info on the output file export.log on ANY solo or multiplayer mission?

There might be too many procedures than what I need.

[zorlac]

you REALLY dont want to be exporting before/after every frame.... thats a heavy workload, so stick with your code that uses the event timer

 

function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t)
local tNext = t

-- Put your event code here and increase tNext for the next event
-- so this function will be called automatically at your custom
-- model times. 

       # do some stuff here

tNext = tNext + <number-of-seconds-until-next-update>

return tNext
end

[Pilotasso]

Thanks Zorlac but I'm only after data of targeted aircraft on the players own scope, not the entire world objects. Is that still a problem?

[zorlac]

its shouldnt make any difference... so long as the data comes out :)

[Pilotasso]

Rrg thanx :D Is everything set right in the previous page example to get anything out at all?
