Importing LUA scripts to SL

[Jakob_Pedersen]

Hello

Where is the "Import script(s)" function in the SL? From what I can tell, it's only possible to import a backup file (in a certain format) containing scripts. But that rules out the possibility of engineering LUA scripts outside of a spaceLYnk!

To clarify, we already have the script templates tested and ready, what group-addresses each individual script shall be connected to and a fairly quick way to generate all of these LUA script files (VBA application in Excel, search and replace).

We have to use 2 types of LUA script for the rooms we control, spread out across multiple SL's (148), totaling some 1500 scripts. Please don't tell me the only option is to manually engineer all of these scripts, by hand, in each and every one of our SL's!

Creating these scripts manually in each SL -

Tremendous amount of engineering time wasted due to the lack of a very basic function.

Creating these scripts in a somewhat automatic fashion outside a SL and then importing to SL -

Saving a tremendous amount of engineering time!

PS. Tested on SL with FW 1.2.1.

PPS. Yes I am aware of page 83/chapter 4.12.8 "General scripting description" in the SL manual, listing the available actions for each script, including "Duplicate".

Hello Jakob,

Can you send me example of script template? Maybe you can use dynamic group object selection, but I need to see you scripts first.

Thank you.

Hello David

Example:

"

--Læser signal fra betjeningspanel og videresender det til pir

Manuel_On_Off_Tryk = event.getvalue()                --Henter værdi fra den gruppeadresse, der aktiverede script

if Manuel_On_Off_Tryk == true then                    --Kontrollerer om der er trykket Manuel On

  grp.write('1/0/16', 75)                                        --Sender værdi til pir, hvilket samtidig får den til at gå i manuel

elseif Manuel_On_Off_Tryk == false then            --Kontrollerer om der er trykket Manuel Off

  grp.write('1/0/16', 0)                                        --Sender værdi til pir, hvilket samtidig får den til at gå i manuel

end

"

Not sure what dynamic group object selection is?

PS. We could really need a "insert code function" for this community.
