LuaScript
A Lua script to run to determine whether a record or group of records is included in the output from the ESP task.
Specify one of the following:
- the absolute path to the Lua script file.
- the path to the Lua script file, relative to the LuaDirectory.
- a string that matches one of your
AdditionalDataLabels
, (if you use theAdditionalData
andAdditionalDataLabels
action parameters to upload the Lua script file as part of the Process action).
The script must define a function with the name pred
. The function must return either true
or false
.
The response to the result of the function depends on the type of ESP task.
ESP task | Result if the function returns true |
---|---|
And / AndThen | The group of records is included in the engine output track. |
AndAny / AndThenAny | The record in the Input0 track is included in the output. (Records from the other tracks are never included in the output). |
AndNot / AndNotThen | The record in the Input0 track is discarded. (Records from the other tracks are never included in the output). |
Combine | The record is combined with the record in the Input0 track, so that it is included in the result when the record from Input0 is output. |
Deduplicate | The second record is discarded. |
Filter | The record is included in the engine output track. |
