Hi Guys,

It’s not clear from the docs how I can originate a call from within an lua script

This what works in js,

Question. How do I instantiate a new session, do I use the execute to dial, and same for bridge?

Regards,

if (!first_session.ready())

var new_session = new Session(tdial-string);

if (!first_session.ready()) {
disp_call(DROP)
exit();



new_session.answer();

if (new_session.ready()) {
bridge(first_session, new_session);
}

Nik,

What are you building? I'm wondering if this is the correct approach
for your application. You might be better off using the even socket
and controlling your calls from a central point.

I'm trying to build an emergency broadcasting solution.

So I place a call, and have ivr in the lua script. But I also want to
give them the option of speaking to someone.

If they hit the option to speak to someone, while I can fire an event to
originate a call, I'm not sure how I could bridge the 2 call legs.

Regards,

Hi Michael,

Yes that's exactly what it boils down to, an outbound ivr.

Everything is working perfectly, except the bridge to another number.
Because of the nature of the beast the bridge needs to dial an external
number (ie sofia/gateway/Mygateway/num) What I'm getting is:

attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'sofia' (a nil value)

regards

Sorted now thanks, it needed to be in the format

session:execute("bridge", "{params}sofia/gateway/Mygateway/number");

key change was '"'

Now I've converted my js script to lua going to run some tests tomorrow.

I sincerely hope it'll handle more than the 10 calls js would break at.


Here's my current setup

External prog generates bgapi calls via socket and calls originate with
name of lua script also passed.

Lua does IVR and then bridges where required. It also fires back an
event to show result of call.

Astererisk happily does around 200 calls, I'm hoping FS will do better
or I've just been wasting my time. Is there a more efficient way of
doing this?


Regards,

You want to make it even more efficient?
when they press 1,
session:execute("transfer", "<number>");

Then, put an extension in your dialplan to match <number> and do the bridge.
Then you can exit the script and only run the script when you need it.

Your problem with js was the same issue, you should have been doing something similar there too.

BTW,
If you make another comparison to asterisk comment, I will never answer another email from you again I don't have time for that crap.

Done

Seems it had a spam score of 2 for some reason
