ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
ID – sets the ID of the highlight. The ID can be referenced by other triggers to
evaluate the status of or remove the highlight.
Elem name (element name) – sets the name of the cockpit control to highlight.
Clickable cockpit functions (switches, buttons, knobs, etc.) are described in
Scripts\Aircrafts\Aircraft Name\Cockpit\clickabledata.lua.
Size of box – sets the span of the highlight in meters. A setting of ‘0’ will
automatically conform the highlight to the 3D shape of the cockpit control.
COCKPIT HIGHLIGHT INDICATION (required console) – enables a cockpit highlight
of the specified digital indication element (such as HUD display elements).
ID – sets the ID of the highlight. The ID can be referenced by other triggers to
evaluate the status of or remove the highlight.
Indicator ID – sets the ID value of the cockpit indicator containing the desired
indication. Indicator ID’s are described in Scripts\Aircrafts\Aircraft
Name\Cockpit\device_init.lua. To quickly locate the indicator ID’s in the lua file,
perform a search function for “indicators”. Indicator ID’s begin with ‘0’ at the top
of the table and are increased by 1 with each subsequent indicator in the table.
For example, the HUD ID for A-10C is ‘5’.
Elem name (element name) – sets the name of the display element to
highlight. To obtain an element name, run a mission with the desired element
string displayed in the cockpit, open the game console and execute the
“console.out(list_indication(n))” command (where ‘n’ is the desired indicator’s
ID). The game console can be accessed by pressing the “`” command in-game.
The console.out(list_indication(n)) console command will list all current element
strings of the set indicator.
Size of box – sets the span of the highlight in meters.
COCKPIT HIGHLIGHT POINT – enables a cockpit highlight centered at the specified
3D cockpit coordinates. This action allows you to specify the 3D dimensions of the
highlight, which can be useful for creating “flat” 2D highlights of panel instruments in
either horizontal or vertical planes.
ID – sets the ID of the highlight. The ID can be referenced by other triggers to
evaluate the status of or remove the highlight.
X (fwd/aft) – sets the highlight position on the X (forward/aft) axis of the
cockpit in meters.
Y (up/dn) – sets the highlight position on the Y (up/down) axis of the cockpit in
meters.
Z (rgt/lft) – sets the highlight position on the Z (right/left) axis of the cockpit in
meters.
Box dim, X – sets the span of the highlight’s X axis in meters.
Box dim, Y – sets the span of the highlight’s Y axis in meters.
Box dim, Z – sets the span of the highlight’s Z axis in meters.
