Trigger when player tuned to a specific frequency?

[Sedlo]

No worries, got it, thanks Rudel! 

[TEMPEST.114]

What is the technical reason this won't work in CLIENT or MP servers?

No idea. I imagine it has to go through an external hook, similar to how SRS can read some of these parameters and indications.

It's really limiting for MP Campaign / Mission designers... Grrrrr

I used DCS-BIOS to get the parameters.  Pretty cool program.

 

It is me again, I tried to play around with the DCS-BIOS, but not sure if make it right. I did not find, what i was looking for. Right now, I am searching the parameter for the UH-1 Nav Radio? Anybody knows?

I don’t recall there being one, but it’s been a long time.

thx for the Feedback. The document I know already, sadly you do not have the parameters for "Cockpit Parameter Equal To:" in it. 

But no worries, as often in the Mission Editor I need to find a workaround. Checking this parameter would be such an easy way to make sure the player will hear the audio file at the right time.

I think there were some changes with the Mirage Radio, UVHF_FREQ does not work anymore, i tried yesterday. 

Mirage is now:

UHF_FREQ

VHF_FREQ

[Sedlo]

Good catch!  Thanks, Cyking!

[Sedlo]

Just a heads up @Cyking and @Rudel_chw , the F-15E has a different set of parameters for the radios...

It's UHF1_FREQ for the PRIMARY (left) radio, and UHF2_FREQ for the AUX (right).

Is there an equivalent for RPM in the Hornet? I wanna have a trigger set when the engines idle at 65rpm. For the life of me, I can't find the file for the rpm indications. It's not in mainpanel_init.lua

there is no parameter for rpm on the hornet, but you can read the rpm from the IFEI indicator:

Yeah just found out, if you use, "X: Cockpit Indication Text Is Equal To" you can use the text in the rpm it self to be a Trigger. Just set the

             INDICATOR ID=5

             ELEM NAME=txt_RPM_(L or R)

             VALUE=(enter rpm number)

And you can use whatever rpm number to Trigger an action

Ok everyone. Now how about the Apache? I am trying the usual

UHF_FREQ

VHF_FREQ

But I am not getting any job with trigger activation. I am hoping someone on the previous posts will be able to figure this one out?

[Sedlo]

@Gunnar81, they are:

COMM1_FREQ
VHF_AM_FREQ
FM1_FREQ
FM2_FREQ

Would be great if these values could be published in each aircraft's manual.. hint hint, ED

Sedlo, again you are a genius. I scoured, or thought I did, through the .lua files and didn't find anything for the UHF being related to COMM1_FREQ. Thanks again, you saved the day.

No worry.  I don’t think it’s even in the .lua files.  I use DCS BIOS to find the cockpit parameters for this kinda stuff.  It’s a really cool program for finding parameters and indications.    
 

can be a bit tricky to set up, but once it is it’s good.

Continue this very usefull topic.

 

Any idea for the MiG-21 ? Tried a lot of combinations without success!

 

Cheers

The 21 has no parameter with the radio frequency, but you can check the Drawing argument for the radio preset selector knob: 211

for example the condition "X:COCKPIT ARGUMENT IN RANGE, 211, 0.248, 0.252" will be true when Preset 5 is selected, as there are 20 presets: 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, etc.

Ok been trying to figure this out for 3 days without any luck, closest thing I found to the params named in this thread for the Kiowa radio 5 is "VFM2_Radio"... could that be it or I'm definitely looking for "Freq"?

Sorry, can’t help with this because I don’t have the Kiowa

@JohnMclane, @Rudel_chw they are:

OH58D_UHF_FREQ

Is there a cockpit param on the F-18C for the KY-58 power select knob and the mode knob? What I'm trying to do is once the KY-58 is powered up, turn on a flag, mode knob goes into cypher, turn on a flag. Once both flags are true, have a sound play for a radio check. Also, is there a place to find these cockpit parameters, a list or something?

I think you'll need to use "cockpit argument in range" for those.  Use clickabledata.lua in your mods/aircraft/cockpit/scripts folder and the model viewer to see the values.

DCS-BIOS is what I use to get the parameters with.
