Thank you for your answer, i do have all of that, a clickabale cockpit is on, but what behavoir to do in order to make the HUD change page.

A start i have 3 page.

 

BASE = 1

INDICATION = 2

NAV=3

 

page_subsets = {

[bASE] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."HUD/Indicator/base_page.lua",

[iNDICATION] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."HUD/Indicator/indication_page.lua",

[NAV] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."HUD/Indicator/indication_page.lua",

}

pages =

{

{ BASE ,INDICATION},

{ BASE ,NAV},

}

 

init_pageID = 1

initialy i start showing page one here INDICATION

my question is how to switch to NAV page with a click of button or keyoard key ? like other HUDs for example Mig29 NAV/ AA mode /AG Mode ???

if you are looking for the LUA function to switch pages, there is none available.

easiest way is to have a base-element for every page and parent everything else to that element.

then you can hide/show that with Parameters

Nice that's a good way to seek for.

But I am wondering what pages declaration is ther for ? :book:

any suggestion for the controller name ?

Page-Declaration: its for when you dont have to work exclusivly in LUA enviroment

Iam asking, if it's just a matter of Hide and Show, so i have to see all my pages showen on HUD, and then I'll show or hide in funtion of command what i want, but like you can see in my previouse example with just changing from init_pageID = 1 to init_pageID = 2 I switch from INDICATION page to NAV page but, I have to do it in LUA code and have to restart mission :), that's what make me think that there's a way to do so without restarting the mission, and if you check the other's plan cockpit you can find a function like set_page_mode or similar ?!

For the way of hide/show i tested it with changing opacity of the parent elements but still il only one page, and i needed that changes of opacity to swith on/off le HUD (scrolling knob).

 

And every thing is in LUA, no arguments (Model animation), drawing and texture called from LUA.
