Return example: |
The following is a rough outline of the table format:
{ countries = { [countryName] = { [categoryName] = { [unitTypeName] = number of that type for that country, }, }, }, units = { [unitTypeName] = { count = total number of this type in the mission, pylons = { [pylonIndex] = { [CLSID value] = number of times it is used on that pylon }, }, CLSID = { [CLSID value] = number of times it is used on that aircraft, }, livery_id = { [countryName] = [liveryName] = number of times livery is used for that country, }, }, }, }, } |
Usage Examples: |
The following would output the data to the pass filename.
mist.debug.writeTypes('myMission.lua') |
Notes: |
For this debug function you must (temporarily!) unprotect the Lua environment and enable the io and lfs libraries. You do this by commenting out the sanitizeModule calls in <DCS main directory>/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua. Just be sure to re-protect yourself later when you run missions from untrusted sources. |
