ME and lua Files' intestines

[BiBa]

I've developed good knowledge in Mission Editor up to the part where I have to deal with the "X:*" in "CONDITIONS". The Manual refers to the path: (C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts) where, by using Notepad++, I tried to deal with those *.lua files but couldn't get any clear results. It's like having to make a chirurgical operation on intestinal parts without a surgeon license!

 

For eg. I need the following information under

CONDITIONS/X: COCKPIT ARGUMENT IN RANGE/argument: 200

what for does the number 200 stands? I've used the search function but didn't get any results.

 

and under

ACTIONS/X: COCKPIT PERFORM CLICKABLE ACTION/COCKPIT DEVICE: 9/Command:3036/VALUE: 0

I know that the left Gunner door opens, but what do I use for the right Gunner door?

 

Finally: is there a simplified version of the six CONDITIONS in a form of an alphabetical list of Instruments with their adequate numbers, without having to deal with those lua files?

 

PS. I'm not sure if I've posted my thread in the right place, so I wouldn't mind transferring it to another place

 

Many thanks in advance

200 is your collective setting with a minimum setting between 0 and 1 and a maximum setting between 0 and 1.

 

So, if your arguments are (200, 0, 0.25), then that means the condition is true if your collective is between 0% and 25%

Thanks... Do you get your Info directly out of the lua-File or do you have other more simplified resources?

I just kind of figured it out on my own by looking at the Huey campaign missions in the mission editor and seeing how they're set up. I don't really have a "resource".

That reminds me of the times before becoming vegetarian, I used to eat a Greek speciality of boiled sheep's Brain potted in Olive oil, but I never saw the version brain fried! Oh - those days sheeps didn't have yet an encounter with computers :megalol:

I just found out why I couldn't find this "200" because referring to the Manual of X:COCKPIT ARGUMENT IN RANGE, their link:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\clickabledata-lua

only goes for the A-10

 

For the UH-1H I found it in:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\mainpanel_init.lua

 

But in case somebody needs it for the A-10 I found the following interesting download:
