AH64 Cocpit Arguments/Parameters

[OnkelFester]

I've run into a snag working on a custom mission, I'm trying to find the specific arg/param that identifies WHICH radio is selected for the AH64. I've managed to figure out which radio FREQ is selected on the various radios using Parameters, and I've found the WCA switch in Arguments, but cannot find how to identify which radio is selected.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi,

maybe you can read the radio status on the UFCP, using the X:COCKPIT INDICATION TEXT trigger ... but this only works on Single Player:

 

 

These are the Element Names needed:

 

 

The values used on the Rts Indicators are "<" "=" and ">"   ... here is a sample mission:

 

AH64 - test arguments.miz

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. And yes, this is for a single player "campaign" style mission, where I'm scripting and voice acting the radio's/atc stuff.

One note, On my mission, indicator ID 17 didn't work. However, 18 did. I didn't test your mission because I got mine to work with 18, so not sure what happened there. Is there a list of what text is which indicator ID?

I get these arguments by using the LUA Console of the DCS-BIOS software, but sadly this Console does not work anymore on the latest DCS 2.9.6 .... so I have two instances of DCS installed on my PC, one with 2.9.5 and the other with the latest DCS.

 

So, I got the 17 when running on DCS 2.9.5 .. it is entirely possible that the newest version of the Apache has added a new device before #17, shifting all remaining devices one position down on the device list.

I don't know, I got the number just by successively querying the Console, with this command:

 

• Get a list of indications for the “X: COCKPIT INDICATION IS EQUAL TO” condition:

  return list_indication(n)
  -- n = device ID, see mods/aircraft/.../Scripts/devices.lua
