export.lua: single parameter for querying player's death / ownship health?

[DerKlausi]

Hi all,

the title says it: I'm looking for a single parameter that can be evaluated within export.lua to find out if the player is dead/alive and/or ownship destroyed/functional.

Background info: I would like to stop exporting telemetry data to my motion rig upon missile hit, before the plane goes into the violent nose-down spin. Not a fun ride, tbh.

 

Cheers,
DK

I'm not aware of a direct export variable but you could query certain systems to make an educated guess;

LoGetMechInfo() -- mechanization info
result_is =
{
	gear          = {status,value,main = {left = {rod},right = {rod},nose =  {rod}}}
	flaps		  = {status,value}  
	speedbrakes   = {status,value}
	refuelingboom = {status,value}
	airintake     = {status,value}
	noseflap      = {status,value}
	parachute     = {status,value}
	wheelbrakes   = {status,value}
	hook          = {status,value}
	wing          = {status,value}
	canopy        = {status,value}
	controlsurfaces = {elevator = {left,right},eleron = {left,right},rudder = {left,right}} -- relative vlues (-1,1) (min /max) (sorry:(
} 

LoGetMCPState() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (table of key(string).value(boolean))
	returned table keys for LoGetMCPState():
		"LeftEngineFailure"
		"RightEngineFailure"
		"HydraulicsFailure"
		"ACSFailure"
		"AutopilotFailure"
		"AutopilotOn"
		"MasterWarning"
		"LeftTailPlaneFailure"
		"RightTailPlaneFailure"
		"LeftAileronFailure"
		"RightAileronFailure"
		"CanopyOpen"
		"CannonFailure"
		"StallSignalization"
		"LeftMainPumpFailure"
		"RightMainPumpFailure"
		"LeftWingPumpFailure"
		"RightWingPumpFailure"
		"RadarFailure"
		"EOSFailure"
		"MLWSFailure"
		"RWSFailure"
		"ECMFailure"
		"GearFailure"
		"MFDFailure"
		"HUDFailure"
		"HelmetFailure"
		"FuelTankDamage"

Thanks a lot - I had already tried querying LoGetMCPState() substates but unfortunately with limited success. In contrast to what I expected to happen after being hit by an AIM120, I found that with the Viper, only LeftAileronFailure and/or RightAileronFailure will ever trigger. Maybe you are able to enlighten me on why that is?
