[LUA] Stop sending data when ...

[Doug]

Hi!

 

Export of LO stop sending data when my plane is crashed (not when I eject but when my plane is crashed).

 

Do you know why ?

 

Thanks

[GGTharos]

Because the data coming from your no-longer existant aircraft are now 'nil'.

[Doug]

Thans GG. Next i have recovered, the export doesnt restart. Is there a mean to make it restart ?

[GGTharos]

Yes, you need to stop it from failing in the next place by doing something

 

if Myplane then

Your code here

end

 

Where Myplane will be 'anything' if your plane exists, and 'nil' if it doesn't. That will prevent the code from erroring out.

Thanks for the pointer re

if Myplane then

Your code here

end

 

I had wondered about that. This ain't directly related to this thread, but is related to LUA. After upgrading to 1.12 I could no longer export data via the network.

 

I had modified the config.lua file and set export = True, nothing exported. Thinking the problem was LUA UDP related I went troubleshooting a possible N/W problem.

 

Net result, the value true is case sensitive, it must be true not True.

 

Cheers

Thanks GG. I have tested all my value returned by LOGet*** functions and t works. ;)

Is there a mean to make socket.receive non-bloking ?
