lua scripts -what to do with it ?

[ex81]

Hello,

I often read about interesting mods which use lua files.

Knowing not much about lua, I ask myself how to use the scripts in DCS ?

Where do I have to put them ? And many more questions.

 

Already ordered a book about lua scripting, but would be nice to get some help starting the this project.

For mission editor or for like weapons mods and other customization?

You edit them with Notepad++. Depends on the file, parameter and what it does.

Well, I found a mod which is titeled Dismounts Script. The thread is in the mission builders corner.

The infantry walks in front of the carriers.

Its really amazing, but I don`t know how I could use it.

Sounds easy but I believe I`have not even reached the starting point with my knowledge.

Maybe I should read the book first.
