Add Trigger by lua

Hi there,

maybe i absolutely on the wrong track, but is there a way to add a trigger with a lua script?

background, we like to fly with music, so i added various radio events for the F10 menu by lua.

Now it would be nice to set the triggers with a lua script because it would be usable in another mission.

so... is there a way?

I think you can try Erforces's code:

local M1 = missionCommands.addSubMenu("Level 1", nil)

local M2 = missionCommands.addSubMenu("Level 2", M1)

missionCommands.addCommand("COMMAND SUB2", M2,function() trigger.action.setUserFlag(1, true) end, nil)
missionCommands.addCommand("COMMAND SUB1", M1,function() trigger.action.setUserFlag(2, true) end, nil)

Thanks dark_wood,

but this is what I already have, no it would be a nice way if you could add the trigger, triggered by this flag, directly to the lua.

something pseudo:

if(flag = 1)
 soundtoblue(music.ogg)
}

problem is, i think this has to be added to some kind of eventlistener, but i didn't find anything in the world entity, only thing i found is setting flags, not getting or reacting to them.

Maybe something like this:

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(1) == 1 then
soundtoblue(music.ogg)
end

And to be sure, trigger first a message:

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(1) == 1 then
trigger.action.outText('Good job!' , 10)
end

Did you get the chance to try out that solution?

This should do the trick without the need to mess with user flags (provided you have a function "soundtoblue" that works.

local function PlayMusic(params)
  soundtoblue(params.track)
end

local M1 = missionCommands.addSubMenu("Play Music", nil)
missionCommands.addCommand("Play Track 1", M1,PlayMusic, {track = "music1.ogg"})
missionCommands.addCommand("Play Track 2", M1,PlayMusic, {track = "music2.ogg"})
missionCommands.addCommand("Play Track 3", M1,PlayMusic, {track = "music3.ogg"})

Thanks @ A101Wayz,

as this is the solution that worked flawlessly for me :)

I didn't think of providing a local funktion for playing, only flags in my head :)

And no need for a dedicated playing function :)

trigger.action.outSoundForCoalition(...)

is enough :)
