Event Handler Status

[Rabso]

Hi,

 

I have pulling my hair for 2 days while trying to understand the EventHandler. It never works.

 

I know MOOSE is better solution, I am still learning it but I can't resist to leave something in coding without getting it done.

 

So, here is my basic trail code:

local Event_Handler = {}

function Event_Handler:onEvent(event)
   if (world.event.S_EVENT_TAKEOFF  == event.id) then
       trigger.action.outText("New takeoff of unit " .. event.initiator:getName(), 10)
   end
end

world.addEventHandler(Event_Handler)

 

it never works with me, what is wrong with this code?

 

 

I tried Speed's alternate method (https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1591765&postcount=65) and it's working ok

do
   local old_onEvent = world.onEvent
   world.onEvent = function(event)
       if (world.event.S_EVENT_TAKEOFF == event.id) then
           trigger.action.outText("New takeoff of unit " .. event.initiator:getName(), 10)
       end
       return old_onEvent(event)
   end
end

Note: to make this work I have to select continues action

 

 

so can someone please help me what is wrong with my EventHandler code? Did ED change somthing?

I saw several topic contain same my code and was working!

On your first code snippet you pass Event to the function but you call event (small case). I believe Lua is case sensitive.

Ops! I believe while writing my post I changed it mistakenly. it's correct on my lua file.

I am learning more and more MOOSE and achieved the above, but I would like to understand the DCS Event Handling.

 

Will be nice if someone could let me know what is the wrong in above code, thanks

There's nothing wrong with your script, I just added it in a trigger Time More than 1 sec and all is cool.
