I have some questions to ask...

I set shortcut keys of Notepad.exe to "Ctrl+Shift+C".

Code:

require("luacom");
ws = luacom.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
ws:sendkeys("+^c");

Then I opened notepad.exe in game, 
but when I try to send "z" or other key, it's no use.
Do you know how to send key to game?
Thanks!

OK... A simple question: how to use loadlib?

The people that might be able to help you with this no longer visit the forums and TBH, I haven't heard from them since the old CM forums. What you are trying to do has not been done before, partially because the complete lua library is not included in the game. As far as loading the .dll, the only person I know to have done anything similar is Dschonny and has not been heard from for a long time. Sorry I can't be more help.

Oh...It seems that I'm on my own...
I download lua for windows and load user32.dll successfully, then I'm trying to add alien to game.
How about my mission? Does it work correctly?

Thanks! But the hotkey of DROPP is invalid in my game...

How to use hotkey functions of EDX? Does it need some extra files?

Thanks!

What's the mean of TOO Dummy? How to use it?

And "Blocker Logic", it's hard to understand...

I create mission with EDX, can others who do not use EDX run my mission?

Why this cause a mistake?

Code:

function onEnter(zoneName, unitName)
   require("alien");
   findW=alien.user32.FindWindowA;
   findW:types{"string","string"};
   hWnd=findW(nil,"Dragon Rising");
   if hWnd==0 then
      OFP:displaySystemMessage("-----0------");
   else
      OFP:displaySystemMessage(hWnd);
      MsgBox=alien.user32.MessageBoxA;
      MsgBox:types{ret="long",abi="stdcall","long","string","string","long"};
      MsgBox(hWnd,"title for test","lua call windows api",0);--here.
   end
end

Hi runerback. I'll do my best to answer these questions.

The TOO dummy is there so you can put your player team into a squad that will appear in the pre mission briefing. To date this is the only known application for the TOO dummy parameter.

The blocker logic will not work if you are using the EDX as the EDX replaces the dynamic generation of waypoint code from the editor. This tradeoff had to be made. This isn't a bad deal though since it was ultimately discovered that the code generation caused crashes in the game with the use of fairly few waypoints due to the size of the script that was generated.

If a mission is created with the EDX, all of the code from the EDX will also export into the mission scripts, so the answer to the question is yes. If you use the EDX for your mission, anyone can play it.

As far as what you're attempting to do in the above code, there is no way that I'm aware of to load libraries outside of those that are included in the game. There may be an off chance that if you place the library in the editor folder for library scripts, you may be able to load the library into the editor by placing a library script entity and selecting that library, but I've never tried that approach to anything before. This is, however, the exact method used to get the conversations working in the game.

Hope this helps!

Cheers

Thank you very much! Really! 

I made a "movie" for a friend, and I want to share it here.
download here
Set "TimeOfDay" to night for better effect. 

And I found another game perspective. 

Code:

function onIncap(victim, killer, method)
   if victim=="player" then
      OFP:setInvulnerable(victim,true);
   end
end

watch video here

I put lua51.dll and luacom.dll into game root folder, then:

Code:

function onEnter(zoneName, unitName)
    if isActivate(nil,"Dragon Rising") then
          OFP:displaySystemMessage("true");
          killMenu(nil,unitName);
    else
          OFP:displaySystemMessage("false");
    end
end
function isActivate(self,hwnd)
    require "luacom";
    local ws = luacom.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
    local boo=ws:AppActivate(hwnd);
    ws=nil;
    return boo;
end
function killMenu(self,target)
    require "luacom";
    local ws = luacom.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
    local button = ws:popup("are you sure ?",10,"Kill Yourself",33);
    if button==1 then
          OFP:damage(target,"headzone",10);
    elseif button==2 then
          return false;
    end
    ws=nil;
end

And run it in window mode.

If I know how to get focus of game window, then it can be used conveniently.
But I don't know......

How to know who are pressing hotkeys in coop-mission?

Since all of the code only executes on the host machine, it is only possible for the host to use hotkeys.

It's a good news for me, but not for my friend who asked me this question..

Here are my question:
When using selectCamera(), also in coop-mission, is there any case only me can see the camera scene but else playable players?

Any checkpoint will make a error which stop the game... I don't know why

tvig0r0us, I'm a real loser, because I don't know how to use your camera model... Would you like to show me some example? Thanks.

While there should be an example mission for the moving cam in the EDX kit from mdog, I have some sample missions for moving cinematic cams that I can post. I'll have to wait until I'm at my pc though.

Cheers
