ELite Dangerous : how do I trap docking rerquest granted?
« on: April 18, 2020, 07:23:27 PM »
Hi.

Running VA, using one of the HCS voicepacks. My script issues the "hcsvtED_RequestDocking" command, but I need a way of trapping whether docking has been authorised or not. If it hasn't, I don't necessarily need to know the reason, just whether or not it has.

I asked over in the HCS forum, but they were unable to help.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Have you tried the HCS Voice Packs Discord?

The HCS Voice Packs developers would be your best bet at getting such information, provided they're willing to disseminate it.

As I said, I asked them, but they told me they were unable to help. I previously asked as to whether there was a list of variables they used, but there isn't and it's not something they're "unlikely to do" in case it causes them a problem (which I can understand).

All I'm after is a way of requesting docking and finding out whether it's been granted.

Cheers.

Any indication of what the solution might have been?

Yeah. Sorry.

I created a a script ((EDDI docking granted)) which automatically executes when docking is granted and set a boolean when it was executed. There's probably a better way, but it works.
