DCS-BIOS v0.10.0 "Hub Scripts" example

[FSFIan]

Here is the script that I have been running over the last week or so to test the new "Hub Scripts" feature. It implements the following:

 

• Makes my Harrier UFC, ODU and MPCD panels work in the Hornet (Harrier TMR = Hornet A/P, Harrier ALT = Hornet D/L)
  
• In the Harrier, whenever the UFC would be blank otherwise, it displays the status of the AFC and ALT HOLD switches and allows to toggle them via the option select buttons. You can also enter or leave this display mode by pressing the (non-functional in DCS) "I/P" button on a physical Harrier panel.
  

 

How to use:

 

• Save anywhere on your hard drive with a .lua extension (e.g. My Documents/remap.lua)
  
• Shift+Right Click the file in Windows Explorer and choose "Copy as path"
  
• Use the new "Hook Scripts" section on the Dashboard in the web interface to add the path to the script
  
• Click the "Reload Scripts" button
  

 

If you want to play around with your own hub scripts: unfortunately, at the moment there is no way to view the output of Lua's print() function yet. The best way to debug your scripts is to use the Lua Console and select the "hub" environment (see the documentation on how to use enterEnv() to execute Lua code in the environment of your script).

 

Here is the code:

 

acftName = "NONE"

local setPanelString = hub.setPanelString
local getSimString = hub.getSimString

function remapOutput(a, b)
   setPanelString(b, getSimString(a))
end

function remapExportData()
   acftName = getSimString("MetadataStart/_ACFT_NAME")
   if acftName == "AV8BNA" then

   end
   if acftName == "FA-18C_hornet" then
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_COMM1_DISPLAY", "AV8BNA/UFC_COMM1_DISPLAY")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_COMM2_DISPLAY", "AV8BNA/UFC_COMM2_DISPLAY")
       local scratchpad = getSimString("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_SCRATCHPAD_STRING_1_DISPLAY")
       scratchpad = scratchpad .. getSimString("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_SCRATCHPAD_STRING_2_DISPLAY")
       scratchpad = scratchpad .. getSimString("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_SCRATCHPAD_NUMBER_DISPLAY")
       setPanelString("AV8BNA/UFC_SCRATCHPAD", scratchpad)

       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_CUEING_1", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_1_SELECT")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_DISPLAY_1", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_1_Text")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_CUEING_2", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_2_SELECT")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_DISPLAY_2", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_2_Text")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_CUEING_3", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_3_SELECT")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_DISPLAY_3", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_3_Text")
       remapOutput("FA-18C_hornet/UFC_OPTION_CUEING_4", "AV8BNA/AV8BNA_ODU_4_SELECT")
