xracer Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I was wondering about how variables are treated in DCS when it comes to their scope or accessibility. Let say i have 2 or more triggerzones. In the first if i set a variable (global?) using LUA PREDICATE. Can i then access that variable and its current value in the next trigger also using the LUA PREDICATE? If not is there any oither way to deal with situation? I want to get the groupname from any group entering certain triggers and transfer the names so i can use them in a last trigger.

Kingston SSD 120 GB for DCS, 250GB Samsung 840 SSD for the rest. 16GB Kingston KHX1600C9D3 Memory, 9 GB Pagefile, EK HFX-240 Watercooling, Corsair HX-1000 PSU.

Grimes Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 If you create a global variable in a lua predicate, or any other scripting area, it will be globally accessible to other areas of mission scripting. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
