[Solved] Any way to access vehicle lua from Lua Trigger?

It seems like lua triggers only execute code under the ge lua rather than the vehicle lua.. Is there any workaround to access v.lua from these triggers? Any help is appreciated.

 

What are you trying to do?

 

I'd like to place the lua trigger at a gas station so that when I pull up to the pump it will fill up the gas tank

 

... Anyone else?

 

Could you set global variable that vehicle lua would then read and based on it's value do fillup?

Of course it would be more efficient if you could just trigger and then run action only once, but if not possible, that might maybe work? I'm not really competent with Lua though, so even my idea might not work at all.

 

Hmm.. well I did some more digging and found that you can execute vehicle lua in GE lua like this as an example:

Code:

be:getPlayerVehicle(0):queueLuaCommand("obj:queueGameEngineLua('print('..electrics.values['fuelVolume']..')')")

But I can't seem to be able to set a fuel amount using the same method, I try the following and it doesn't work:

Code:

be:getPlayerVehicle(0):queueLuaCommand("obj:queueGameEngineLua('energyStorage.getStorage('mainTank'):setRemainingVolume(2)')")

I need to know how to write to vehicle lua from GE lua.

 

If there's anybody out there who can help with this, I'd appreciate it...

 

I thought I had to do it this way, I was looking at post #2 of this article to see how to do it: https://www.beamng.com/threads/a-way-to-get-a-value-from-system-lua-t3d-lua-gameengine-lua.25139/

Sorry, not sure exactly what you mean by this.. I'm testing it in ge lua in the console and no matter how I type it, I can't get it to set the fuel amount.

 

Anyone?

 

It works, thanks!
