Flowgraph Mission Variable Helper

Shared utility module for applying mission variables from the Mission Editor to flowgraph managers before execution.

Shared utility module for applying mission variables from the Mission Editor to flowgraph managers before execution.

Overview

missionVariableHelper provides two key functions: checking whether a flowgraph manager's saved path matches a selected mission, and applying that mission's missionTypeData variables to the manager's variable system. It also injects the player vehicle ID into common variable names (playerID, vehID, etc.).

Public Functions

FunctionReturnsDescription
M.checkMissionMatch(mgr, selectedMission)matchType, mgrPath, missionPathCompare manager path against mission flowgraph path
M.applyMissionVariablesToManager(mgr, logTag)boolApply all mission variables + vehicle ID to manager

Match Types

TypeMeaning
"exact"Manager path exactly matches mission flowgraph path
"missionTypeMain"Manager is the mission type's main flowgraph
"sameMissionType"Manager is in the same mission type folder
"differentMissionType"Manager is from a different mission type
"noMission"No mission selected or no manager

Variable Injection

The helper applies variables in two passes:

  1. Mission variables: Iterates selectedMission.missionTypeData and calls mgr.variables:changeBase(name, value) for each existing variable
  2. Vehicle ID injection: Checks for playerID, playerId, vehID, vehId variables and injects the current player vehicle ID

Usage Example

local missionVarHelper = require('/lua/ge/extensions/editor/flowgraph/missionVariableHelper')

-- Check match type
local matchType = missionVarHelper.checkMissionMatch(mgr, selectedMission)

-- Apply variables before starting execution
local applied = missionVarHelper.applyMissionVariablesToManager(mgr, "myModule")
if applied then
  log("I", "", "Mission variables applied successfully")
end
mgr:setRunning(true)
