Elite: Dangerous - [Game state] or [Environment]
« on: April 29, 2021, 11:27:34 AM »
Hi.

I'm writing a command  to be used in ED, which, at different points, needs to know whether you're in supercruise, normal space or what have you.

What's the best variable to check?

Cheers.

VoiceAttack does not set any variables by default, are you referring to a feature of a third-party addon?

If so, have you contacted the author of said addon?

Ah! that's a very good point.

I'm going to slink away quietly now.  :-[

Have you looked into the EDDI plugin?  It has a PLETHORA of variables that it makes available to VoiceAttack.

You can use the [Environment] variable to check if you're "Docked", "Landed", "Normal space", "Supercruise" or "Witch space".

Hi dave
dont know if u're still searching
the best and by far the easiest Way to handle this is to follow this Tutorial(isch) Voice Profile with Plugins

https://alternerdtive.github.io/VoiceAttack-profiles/

Lots of Stuff is handled vie EDDI a very well made plugin that accesses the Elite companion Api and passes stuff to the Voice Attack Client

It workes great with the va Profile from the Tutorial

my only problem was to setup key bindings - took me a while - there quit a lot but if you play with a gamepad u can take mine than it should work(keep in mind that most keymappings only have to be set no matter their practical use on the keyboard since you will speak them)

bindings file goes to
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
your username of cause needs to be changed
can't /join #RealLife it's set to +invite-only
