# model.setCurve(curve, params)

Set Curve parameters

The first and last x value must -100 and 100 and x values must be monotonically increasing

@status current Introduced in 2.2.0

Example setting a 4-point custom curve:

```lua
  params = {}
  params["x"] =  {-100, -34, 77, 100}
  params["y"] = {-70, 20, -89, -100}
  params["smooth"] = true
  params["type"] = 1
  val =  model.setCurve(2, params)
```

setting a 6-point standard smoothed curve

```lua
val = model.setCurve(3, {smooth=true, y={-100, -50, 0, 50, 100, 80}})
```

## Parameters

* `curve` (unsigned number) curve number (use 0 for Curve1)
* `params` see model.getCurve return format for table format. setCurve uses standard lua array indexing and arrays start at index 1

## Return value

* `curve` status data:
  * 0 - Everything okay
  * 1 - Wrong number of points
  * 2 - Invalid Curve number
  * 3 - Cuve does not fit anymore
  * 4 - point of out of index
  * 5 - x value not monotonically increasing
  * 6 - y value not in range \[-100;100]
  * 7 - extra values for y are set
  * 8 - extra values for x are set

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.open-tx.org/opentx-2-3-lua-reference-guide/part_iii_-_opentx_lua_api_reference/model-functions-less-than-greater-than-luadoc-begin-model/setcurve.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
