ME Script loading

[spacemishka]

hi there,

 

when i change my LUA-skript and restart the mission, i see that the old version is still loaded in the temp folder. How can i force the ME to get the latest version of the script file?

 

thanks!

Delete DO FILE action and add it again

i switching currently between do script and do file and save in between to enforce loading. But this is realy insane....

While not applicable for publishing missions when you are testing lua code you can call a loadfile that looks at a specific folder location on your PC. Since it is running a local file all you gotta do is save the file where-ever you are editing it and restart the mission. Then when done you switch back to embedding it in the miz with do script file. 

 

local path ='J:\\Dropbox\\\Projects\\DCSMissions\\'

assert(loadfile(path .. "myCode.lua"))()

Works pretty fine. I couldn't find it in the documentation. I think it it worth a note!

The hoggit wiki doesn't really cover any of the built in lua functionality other than linking to a few lua pages that are useful. TBH I haven't put much thought into adding anything like that to it because the information is out there and more detailed than what could be added to the wiki. Maybe a basic FAQ type page with a few general tidbits like that or something would suffice.
