This tutorial will document all the steps involved in creating a new Nasal module in, Nasal is FlightGear's scripting language.
- create a new plain text file under $FG_ROOT/Nasal/MODULE.nas
- replace MODULE with the name for your new module (for example, use "test")
- paste the following code into this file using a text editor (such as notepad on Windows)
var mycode = func { print("My test module got loaded !"); }
_setlistener("/sim/signals/nasal-dir-initialized", mycode);
This piece of code defines a new function named "mycode" that just prints a message to the console.
The _selistener call at the end of the snippet waits for the Nasal system to be initialized before the "mycode" function gets called.
