DCS lua functions

[catt42]

Hi,

Does anyone know whether the normal DCS lua functions are inside some file in the install folder or they are hard-coded?

They are fairly well documented here -

I believe the OP wanted to know if he has any access to modify the functions exposed by DCS and not only calling them.

Exactly, not much to modify them, but to understand how they work

I don't think you can access the function definitions themselves. DCS is exposing its internals through these lua functions. They could have chosen any language for this. Imagine these lua functions as some knobs to operate your washing machine. You can play with them to alter the state of the machine but they are hardwired and you can't change their function unless you rewire the whole stuff.

If you want to know how they work, again, the hoggit wiki has been the goto for years. if you dump the _G you can see everything. If you want to change things, somethings can be changed others not.

dump the _G

 

This should do the trick. Thanks.
