Newbie question about scripting

[linebacker]

I would like to try some Lua scripting, ive done quite a bit of C/C++ and VB programming in the past. What im looking for is a guide to the Lua syntax plus a link on where i can find a reference on functions, commands and events specific to DCS so i can start to play around with it.

Also, ive opened some DCS missions which ive downloaded, ive opened them in the editor. I can see the waypoints but where are the scripts? I figure it would be helpful to examine and reverse engineer some of the missions i have.

Thanks

I suggest you look at MOOSE as a powerful interface to the DCS scripting API.

linebacker I have been looking for the same thing. LUA references are easy to find. It's the DCS stuff I need

Me too, on Youtube, there is a “Learn Lua in one hour” video and like you said the DCS stuff is hard to find. Im currently looking at downloading some fairly basic user created missions and having a look at how they are put together.
