Radar related Lua scripting help request

Hi @all!

As I'm just not good enough at Lua-Scripting (I tried and failed :( ) - is there any chance that somebody could and would do a script to have a Radar Floater with the following Columns to sort it:
1. Avatar's Name
2. Group Tag
3. Time of Arrival

using Henri's advice ("You could, however, use Lua scripting to implement it yourself. See the radar related callbacks, and specifically the OnRadar() one: associated with some minimal code to store the new incoming avatars together with a GetFrameTimeSeconds() time stamp in a Lua table, you could set up a Lua side bar button or chat trigger to display that table entries in the proper order (with either a "poor man" method by printing the names in chat, or with a luxury interface using a custom Lua floater with a sorted list)...")
The column "Group Tag" is needed as I have to make heavy use of the auto-derender script that I've found here.

Many thanks in advance for your help!
Frank

I just can't get it to work....

That one will put the name into Column 1:
SetLuaFloaterValue("newRadar","radarlist1",GetAgentInfo().id)

But that one will not put any data anywhere in the three coloums.. all blank.. why?

SetLuaFloaterValue("newRadar","radarlist1",GetAgentInfo().id|GetAgentInfo().active_group_id,|GetAgentInfo().active_group_id)

Hi!

As I'm trying to get the special floater done I have to open it very often. i wanted to use a sidebar button to send the following text to the chat, but I cannot get it to work.. Only plain text is working.. how do I have to do do the code?

What I want to have posted through the click of a button is:
/lua OpenLuaFloater("newRadar")

Currently my code is: SideBarButton(2, "P", "SendChat('newRadar')", "Opens newRadar") but when I add /lua it's not working anymore.

Thanks in advance

Frank

Why are you trying to send a Lua command via the chat from a button ??? It won't work...
Simply add to your automation script:
Code:
SideBarButton(2, "P", "OpenLuaFloater('newRadar')", "Opens newRadar")
