Celestia/Celx Scripting/CELX Lua Methods/CEL command orbitflags

orbitflags

orbitflags { set|clear <orbitflagsstring> }

Set (turn on) or clear (turn off) rendering of specific orbits, when orbits are turned on using the renderflags command.

Arguments:

set <orbitflagsstring> -- OR -- clear <orbitflagsstring>

The set or clear string values can be any combination of the items listed below. No default.
Multiple values are specified within a single set of quotes ("...") by separating them with a space or vertical bar "|" (i.e. "Planet|Moon"):

• Planet
• Moon
• Asteroid
• Comet
• Spacecraft
• Invisible
• Unknown
• DwarfPlanet
• MinorMoon
• Star

CELX equivalent:

Based on the celestia:setorbitflags() method.

• Use the celestia:setorbitflags{ <orbitflagstring> = boolean } method to enable or disable the rendering of orbitss.
  Note the curly braces.
  <orbitflagstring> is a table which contains the orbitflags as keys and booleans as values for each key.
  The orbitflag keys must be one of:
  • Planet, Moon, Asteroid, Comet, Spacecraft, Invisible, Unknown, DwarfPlanet, MinorMoon, Star.

Multiple features can be enabled at once by giving multiple arguments to this method, separated with a comma ",".

celestia:setorbitflags{ <orbitflagstring1> = false, <orbitflagstring2> = true }

Example:
Enable the rendering of the orbits of planets and dwarfplanets.

CEL:

orbitflags { set "Planet|DwarfPlanet" }
renderflags { set "orbits" }

CELX

orbitflagstable = { }
orbitflagstable.Planet = true
orbitflagstable.DwarfPlanet = true
celestia:setorbitflags(orbitflagstable)
renderflagstable = { }
renderflagstable.orbits = true
celestia:setrenderflags(renderflagstable)

-- OR --

-- Shorter notation, but note the curly braces.
celestia:setorbitflags{ Planet = true, DwarfPlanet = true }
celestia:setrenderflags{ orbits = true }
