Script LUA for F18

I am making changes in LUA scripts

to add parameters on the F18 plane

Here is my test example:

* Devices.lua file

- TEST

devices ["TEST"] = counter () - 60

* Devices_init.lua file

- TEST

creators [devices.TEST] = {

"AvLuaDevice"

LockOn_Options.script_path .. "test_device.lua"

{}

}

* Main_init.lua file

- TEST

TEST_PARAM_GAUGE = CreateGauge ("parameter")

TEST_PARAM_GAUGE.parameter_name = "TEST_PARAM"

TEST_PARAM_GAUGE.arg_number = 600

TEST_PARAM_GAUGE.input = {0,100}

TEST_PARAM_GAUGE.output = {0,1}

* Test_device.lua file

local my_param = get_param_handle ("TEST_PARAM") - get shared parameter (created if not exist), i.e. databus

my_param: set (0.1) - set to 0.1

local update_time_step = 0.1

make_default_activity (update_time_step)

--update will be called 10 times per second

function post_initialize ()

print ("post_initialize called")

end

function update ()

local v = my_param: get ()

my_param: set (10)

end

function SetCommand (command, value)

- if command == 3001 then

- print ("user click")

- end

end

--need_to_be_closed = false - close lua state after initialization

* Export.lua file

- test

local a26 = MainPanel: get_argument_value (600)

==> My problem is that I do not get the value 10 in my variable?

==> I always have the value 0 while for the other standard arguments, it works.

==> I added the device last (60) is the last device

==> I checked that the arg_number 600 did not exist

==> Can you help me?

What are you currently trying to get? Using custom Lua scripts modified with the systems may break the Hornet due to the systems being in C++. (This I have no full clue to though) The answer to this question will greatly help.
