I cant figure out this lua stuff

[OfficiaLP]

All i want to do is display the flag's in a message box.. Chrashes whenever i run it..

 

do

local x = trigger.misc.getUserFlag('3')

local y = trigger.misc.getUserFlag('4')

trigger.action.outText(x .. ' Score is now:

Red : ' .. y .. '

Blue : ' .. x .. '' , 20)

end

Okay i figured out it was cuz i had those line things.. this works:

do

local x = trigger.misc.getUserFlag('3')

local y = trigger.misc.getUserFlag('4')

trigger.action.outText(x .. ' Score is now: Red : ' .. y .. ' Blue : ' .. x .. '' , 20)

end

But i want it to go to the next line.. how?

Using "\n" to stand for a newline:

 

trigger.action.outText(x .. ' Score is now:\nRed : ' .. y .. '\nBlue : ' .. x .. '' , 20)

OP, sorry I would like to ask which LUA version is DCS using.

DCS is using Lua 5.1 (the current version is 5.3), so refer to the 5.1-specific manual here:

The way I do this is in the attached file towards the bottom.

Displaying Flag Values With Text Messages

Use a Do Script Action (does not require Mist) -
local msg = {}
msg[#msg + 1]='Blue All Points Flag 10000 value = '
msg[#msg + 1]=trigger.misc.getUserFlag('10000')
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='Blue Vehicles In Zone Points Flag 20000 value = '
msg[#msg + 1]=trigger.misc.getUserFlag('20000')
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='Blue Aircraft Points Flag 50000 value = '
msg[#msg + 1]=trigger.misc.getUserFlag('50000')
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='Blue Heli Points Flag 60000 value = '
msg[#msg + 1]=trigger.misc.getUserFlag('60000')
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='Blue Vehicle Points Flag 70000 value = '
msg[#msg + 1]=trigger.misc.getUserFlag('70000')
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='Blue Ship Points Flag 80000 value = '
msg[#msg + 1]=trigger.misc.getUserFlag('80000')
msg[#msg + 1]='. \n'
msg[#msg + 1]='\n'
msg[#msg + 1]='Press Pause to freeze the action. \n'
trigger.action.outText(table.concat(msg), 6)

A bit fancier... this repeating message informs the players of their progress.
