Lua scripting : custom event handler ?

[CougarFFW04]

Hi Lua scripting Gurrus,

 

I would like to know if it would be possible to build a custon event handler (let's call it S_EVENT_WAYPOINT) that would monitor flight and return for exemple flight name and waypoint when a flight reach his flight plan waypoints. For exemple when flight named "F18" reach his wpt 2 it would return something like {"F18", 2}.

I see that scripting documentation propose a template event ( S_EVENT_{{{eName}}} as per the documention) but as I am not very familiar with handler I do not know at all what to do with that and how to build the custom handler.

 

Help is welcome,

 

Thanks

take a look on ATME scripting engine. it can use events handlers, but also specific events callback function.

 

ATME is based on callbacks your function will be called when event occurs on specific unit . also waypoint tracking is a basic function in ATME

 

 

 

 

 

see here , it is very powerfull , just look at reference manual possibilities:

also V146 and the new EN traduction manual will be soon available ( 2 more weeks ;-) .

 

 

for standard DCS Scripting, i think it's also possible ( because ATME is only encapsulation of standard DCS scripting) , but you will need quite more lua code lines to do the same logic.

 

 

if you want a simple exemple lua + miz on your request i can do it with ATME, just ask me.
