• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

LUA scripts and PBR material problems

Hi,
apologize for my weak english.
Below GinaTextureScript.lua lua scripts works nicely
Code: 
!lua
--Get precip state.
local raining = 0x00000004
local precipState = varget("A:AMBIENT PRECIP STATE", "Mask")
precipState = math.floor(precipState)
--Define textures.
textureDry=  "ssw_G91_R1_B_T_01_albedo.dds"
textureWet = "ssw_G91_R1_B_T_01_albedo_wet.dds"
if precipState == raining then
    varset("T:DiffuseTexture", "string", textureWet)
else
    varset("T:DiffuseTexture", "string", textureDry)
end
under these conditions:
- script resides on: <device>:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Scripts
- material is NOT flagged as PBR materials
cmpiling the mdl it shows to have hard coded a link to GinaTextureScript.lua as expected.

changing the script:
Code: 
if precipState == raining then
    varset("T:AlbedoTexture", "string", textureWet)
else
    varset("T:AlbedoTexture", "string", textureDry)
end
as reported on SDK and setting the PBR flag on material does not work, wet texture never shown.

2 questions:
- how to have the script in another folder other than <device>:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Scripts ?
- there is some error in the code or lua does not work on PBR materials yet ?
TIA
/Mario
