| Task: | SetFrequency | Added with: 1.2.4 | |
| Hierarchy: | Scripting Root > Tasks > Command > SetFrequency | ||
| Tasking Type: | Command | ||
| For: | Airplanes, Helicopters, Ground Vehicles | ||
| Available Under: | All tasks types | ||
| Description: | Changes the broadcasting frequency the AI will be using.
The mission editor UI generally displays frequency values in megahertz (MHz) while this command uses hertz for the value. To convert what the radio frequency would typically display in the aircraft simply multiply that value by 1000000. | ||
| Format: | This task needs to be in the following format.
SetFrequency = {
id = 'SetFrequency',
params = {
frequency = number,
modulation = enum radio.modulation,
power = number,
}
}
Required parameters: frequency: Frequency value in Hz. modulation: Enum of radio modulation. AM or FM (0 or 1) power: Power of the radio in watts. 10 is a good default. Optional Parameters: | ||
| Enumerators: | Template:DCS enum radio modulation | ||
| Examples: | The following will set the frequency of someGroup to 131 Mhz AM.
local freq = {
id = "SetFrequency",
params = {
power = 10,
modulation = 0,
frequency = 131000000,
}
}
Group.getByName("someGroup"):getController():setCommand(freq)
