DCS funct setCommand with script

[CougarFFW04]

Hi everyone,

 

I would be interested to run the DCS function

function Controller.setCommand(Class self, table command )

with a script. I tried something like that :

 

Testsc = { 
 id = 'Script', 
 params = {
   command = trigger.action.outText("Hello",3)
 } 
}

groupCon = Group.getByName("A10"):getController()
groupCon.setCommand(Testsc)

but I cant get it working

The error says "parameter self missing"

 

What am I doing wrong ?

 

What about if I want to run not just one but let's say two commands ?

 

Thanks

It is important to note the differences in calling class objects with . and :.

 

Both of these do the same thing. When you call a function with . it doesn't assume the first variable is a "self", you will have to add it to the function call. When you do it with : and it is a correct object, then it will use that object as the first variable.

 

Controller.setCommand(groupCon, Testsc)

groupCon:setComment(Testsc)

 

Also fairly certain the script needs to be in a string format. Should be able to double bracket it or be very careful with quotes.

 

command = [[trigger.action.outText("Hello",3)]]

 

or

 

command = "trigger.action.outText('Hello',3)"
