: For understanding why certain fields are read-only (nil) or how metatables define property access, the official Lua 11.1 - Arrays documentation is the standard reference.

Lua Script Test: Setting Horizontal Velocity During LAND Mode

: Instead of using the native LAND mode, scripts can use GUIDED mode to send specific position or velocity targets. The Copter Commands in Guided Mode allow for more granular control over heading and turn rates, though vertical control still prioritizes landing safety.

: For complex maneuvers (like a "wander" orbit or precise touchdown angle), some developers disable the default AI and write their own PID controllers in Lua to translate orientation into raw Yaw/Pitch/Roll instructions. Key Resources for Lua Developers

If you need to adjust the pitch—perhaps for a specialized vertical landing or to angle a camera/sensor while stationary—developers often use these methods:

: In Lua, properties act like variables. If a property has a "getter" but no "setter," you can read the current pitch but cannot change it directly via that specific variable.

Are you trying to during a specific landing maneuver, or are you encountering a script error when trying to assign a value to a pitch variable?

: Some advanced users bypass the internal Lua limitations by injecting MAVLink messages directly. This can force a target attitude, though it risks fighting the internal Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which might reject measurements it deems unstable.
