| I'm new to scriptng and i'm trying to start off with doing something very basic. I want to add a seperate script to my mods that will only have 1 function - add extra lines of text to the in-game Help Menu (F1) for keybind inputs (ie..extra headlights etc) My current file: HUD.lua HUD = {}; function HUD.prerequisitesPresent(specializations) return true; end; function HUD:draw() g_currentMission:addHelpButtonText(g_i18n:getText("joblight_v"), InputBinding.joblight_v); g_currentMission:addHelpButtonText(g_i18n:getText("joblight_b"), InputBinding.joblight_b); end; That is what I want and it should work but I cannot get it to load in my moddesc.xml, i added: <specialization name="HUD" className="HUD" filename="scripts/HUD.lua"/> The correct l10n and input bindings exist aswell, but if I try to add the specializtion under the vehicletypes section, i will get an error saying unknown type so i must be mising something very obvious. Is it possible to have such a simple script and load it in to any mod? Thank you in advance |

| Hi, it should definitly be possible to load such a simple script. Maybe you could use an other script from a mod as a draft. -> http://farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=de&mod_id=354 - the script cablight also has a MP event, which you will very likely want to add sometime to your very own script. or have a look at this mod: -> http://farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=de&mod_id=124 - Wipers.lua also shows the basic body for a lua script. Maybe your lua is just missing some functions (they do nothing but have to be callable though) Hope that can help you somehow. Best, Emil |

| Thank You Emil, I used the wipers as a template and copied over the empty functions which I did not know had to be there and now it works perfectly. Much Appreciated. |
