How to add Lua scripts to a Helios profile
-
Hello all
I am trying to add Lua functionality to controls in a Helios profile. In other profiles I see controls that contain e.g. “set position to script results ….”. Unfortunately I can’t find a way to add “script results” to a control. To mess with the XML file itself seems too complicated, I would prefer to do it through the Helios editor. Is there a way to do that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just thought I’d let the pros know… I am watching this thread and selfishly hoping you can help out Bikeman because I have that very same question.

What I have found out so far (see attached screen shot):
Choose the Output tab in the Bindings windows
Pick the correct monitor
Scroll to the control you want to attach a script to
Drag and drop the action into the middle windows
Select “Lua Script” in the “Value Source” in the right windowHere you can enter your Lua script.
Where the Trigger Value and the Action Value come from I don’t know yet. I suspect they are included in one of the Helios dll files.
