linebacker Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 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

Habu_69 Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I suggest you look at MOOSE as a powerful interface to the DCS scripting API.
linebacker Posted August 13, 2019 Author Posted August 13, 2019 Thanks for the links, ive heard of Moose, ill check it out. Thanks again
Zeagle Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 linebacker I have been looking for the same thing. LUA references are easy to find. It's the DCS stuff I need
linebacker Posted August 13, 2019 Author Posted August 13, 2019 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.
