Mission Editor Aircraft Parameter List - Triggers

[102nd Albatross]

hi guys. I searched but found nothing about this regarding the F/A-18.

 

(If there's a link pls let me know and delete this thread if necessary.)

 

Though I'd like to know the parameter list for each aircraft so I can trigger properly missions for individual aircraft / helicopter.

 

Simple example master battery is ON, trigger when UNIT PARAMETER VALUE XXX EQUALS XXX

 

thanks for the help,

Hoping this makes DCS a better place to live in =) sry to have joy in. :pilotfly:

For cockpit argument numbers, you can use the model viewer to manipulate specific cockpit arguments and see which switch moves.

Most argument numbers can be found in clickabledata.lua, you can then use the model viewer to check your results.

If all else fails, you can play around with the custom animation feature in the Model Viewer to find any argument value relatively quickly. Maybe I'll do a video on that.

 

For indications and cockpit parameters, try the "return list_cockpit_params()" and "return list_indication(n)" in the Lua Console of the new DCS-BIOS release:

I saw this thread also in this forum, that I share if anyone needs more info

Another thing I'm now digging into it is to use the model's parameters and not its cockpit model parameters. I want now to trigger based on other variables than speed, altitude or heading, as for example 'electrical system X ON/OFF' or 'COM1 value' etc.

 

I'm now understanding how DCS works so hopefully I'll share how to do it here soon.

If anyone wants to save me some time and let me know that would be great =)

 

Thank you all, I'm loving this journey
