Probably a dumb scripting question.

[tn_prvteye]

I can't code...like, at all. But what I can do is take snippets of other people's stuff and mash them together to do things I need. I don't release these franken-scripts, and only use them for my own off-line missions. I hope this is acceptable, and won't get me in trouble.

 

Anyway, I'm having an issue. I'm trying to run a function at mission start that was originally called from the F10 Radio menu. Is this possible?

First, usually nobody here has a problem with using snippets. Credit the original creators on top of the script and if possible inform them in advance.

 

Second, if it is a function run from the F10 radio is it part of a run script file or a run script (text is in the editor) depending on that you want to call the function from a trigger, or you need to run the script file and call the function at the end.

 

A typical function call would include the parameters and look like this.

 

Function_name ( parameter1, parameter2, parameterN)

 

Important in a script file is to have the function before the function call.

 

Hope this helps.

 

EDIT oh, and there is no such thing as a dumb question....

Ah function call AFTER the function. Makes sense.

Is there a parameter that essentially means "On mission start"? I've looked around Hoggit, but can't find what I'm looking for. This is a 'Do Script File', BTW.

There is a trigger condition "On Mission start" that can be used with the "Do script file".

If you have to load something like MIST or Moose framework for the script, use a normal "Once" Trigger and create a "time more" condition set to 5-6 seconds to give the sim time to load the framework script first.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!
