How to make Jester do things using triggers

[Leviathan667]

Hi,

I'd like to create missions where given a certain condition is met, Jester will do something like switch to channel 11 on the VHF (without the need for the human pilot to ask him using the wheel). 

I've been searching clckabledata.lua and other lua files without finding anything.

Can someone help?

From a few updates back:

SetCommand for Jester:

• arg 10015 - tune AN/ARC-182 to a selected channel with the value 0.XX where XX is the two-digit channel number

Thank you

 

I found the update thread here:

New SetCommand for Jester: arg 10015 - tune AN/ARC-182 to a selected channel with the value 0.XX where XX is the two-digit channel number arg 10016 - tune TACAN channel. The value should be constructed using the following guide: “0.XXXZ” - use negative (-0.XXXZ) values for A/A and positive for T/R. “XXX” is the three-digit channel number (001, 010, 100, etc.). Z is 0 for using X-mode, and 1 for using Y-mode. example: “0.0630” is channel “63X, T/R” and “-0.0081” is channel “8Y, A/A”.

Do we have a full list of SetCommands for Jester somewhere?

You can find them in the proxy lua.

thanks IronMike.

 

I checked the F14 dir. Found proxy_device.lua. But the content of it is difficult to understand. For one, the arg 10015, 10016, etc. found in the May 18th update are absent from it.

The rest of it seems to relate to commands for the pilot rather than the RIO. See example:

Quote

    if command == device_commands.PROXY_Enable_ACM_guns_AA then -- 10000
        -- [lift ACM cover,] lift master arm, enable master arm switch, switch to guns, display mode air-to-air, TID repeat
        -- weaponssystem:performClickableAction(device_commands.WEAP_ACM_Cover, 1.0, false)
        weaponssystem:performClickableAction(device_commands.WEAP_Master_Arm_And_Cover, 1.0, false)
        hotas:performClickableAction(device_commands.STICK_Weapon_Selector_up, 1.0, false) -- select guns
        hud:performClickableAction(device_commands.DISP_mode_air2air, 1.0, false)
        hsd:performClickableAction(device_commands.HSD_Display_Mode_Cycle, 0.0, false) -- TID repeat

Is there another file I should check?

hm, okay maybe we did not include it yet. and at some point that all needs to be added to the manual as well. However they are all listed in the updates when we released them, if you quickly scroll through the changelog thread, they should stand out.

If you have some specific questions or need help how to use them, ping me please.
