Simulator Scripting Engine
The scripting engine is a power resource for mission design and creation. It gives mission builders access to lua functions to perform a variety of commands from displaying customized messages to controlling AI forces. See the Scripting Engine Introduction for more details in how the scripting engine interfaces with the mission editor and some basics on how to use it.
Singletons
Singletons represent a type of object that have only a single instance. Singletons are grouped by overall functionality.
Classes
Classes represent the types of objects that could have multiple instances. Most objects you see in game belong to a class where data can be gathered on that object and commands can be executed.
Class Hierarchy
- Object
- Coalition Object
Enumerators
Enumerators is another name for a constant variable. Within DCS these consist of lua tables with specific values that never change. These values are either indexed numerically or by a string.

Other Documentation
This wiki also hosts documentation for user created scripting libraries.
Much of this guide is based on the Eagle Dynamics Wiki. Due to reasons, the editing of the ED wiki by non ED employees has been offline for a long period of time. The Hoggit wiki has served as a substitute, with more detailed and newly formatted scripting documentation available. The following links are provided as is and are to only be edited to reflect the ED wiki.
