You can embed Nasal code in OBJECT_STATIC models. Just add a <nasal><load>...</load><unload>...</unload></nasal> structure to the xml file. The two branches are triggered on load/unload, but note that models are unloaded quite late (e.g. an object in KSFO is unloaded after you have passed KMRY!, which is quite a distance). You can start a loop in the <load> part, and stop it in the <unload> part. (Yes, you have to do that explicitly, or the loop keeps running.) Look at some dialogs in $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/, if you aren't familiar with Nasal embedding. There's no example in CVS for static objects doing that. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
