Mission Menu and Ambulance

[fearlessfrog]

I spent a short bit of time looking at the new Beta API for a 'Mission Menu' and figuring out how to direct traffic. When you crash you can call for an ambulance.

Details and test mission download here:
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3387861/Re_Ambulance_Station_notes_fro.html#Post3387861

The interesting part of the script is here:

else if (menuItemIndex == 6)
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ambulance Dispatched!");

Player[] all = { player };

AiActor amb = GamePlay.gpActorByName("0_Chief"); // Our ambulance, defined as
first vehicle in mission
if (amb != null)
{
AiGroup g = (AiGroup)amb; // Everything with waypoints is always in groups
AiWayPoint[] waypoints = g.GetWay(); // Get the waypoints it had

foreach (AiWayPoint waypoint in waypoints)
{
//GamePlay.gpLogServer(all, "waypoint: x=" + waypoint.P.x.ToString() + " y=" +
waypoint.P.y.ToString(), null);
x = waypoint.P.x;
y = waypoint.P.y;
z = waypoint.P.z; // Remember this for late, as we need a good height from somewhere
}

Player me = GamePlay.gpPlayer();
AiActor where = me.Place();
Point3d pos = where.Pos(); // Get our position, i.e. where to send the ambulance
Point3d target = new Point3d(pos.x, pos.y, z); // Set our target to be us

//GamePlay.gpLogServer(all, "me: x=" + pos.x.ToString() + " y=" + pos.y.ToString()
+ " z=" + pos.z.ToString(), null);

// Note: Set the z height to be the last waypoint height rather than it's real height,
Pos seems a PoS
Point3d last_known = new Point3d(amb.Pos().x, amb.Pos().y, z);

AiGroundWayPoint[] newWaypoints = { new AiGroundWayPoint(ref last_known, 50.0, 0.0, 10.0),
new AiGroundWayPoint(ref target, 50.0, 0.0, 10.0) };

g.SetWay(newWaypoints); // Off we go, on new route!

AiWayPoint[] resetWaypoints = g.GetWay(); // Just diagnostics, i.e. can be removed
but basically to check they took
foreach (AiWayPoint waypoint in resetWaypoints)
{
//GamePlay.gpLogServer(all, "New waypoint: x=" + waypoint.P.x.ToString() + " y="
+ waypoint.P.y.ToString(), null);
}

}
setMainMenu(player);
}

Hope that helps put someone on the right spline.

Nice Idea
'SAAAAANNNNNIIIIII' ;)

With the new command menu feature, we got a very interesting feature.

[Vengeanze]

This is insanely kewl.
What happens if one crash in enemyland and call for ambulance. :-D

"... new Beta API for a 'Mission Menu' ..." ???

Where do you access/get a copy of the API?

[fearlessfrog]

The API is part of the beta patch.

As for if you called it from far away, I've not tried it - but waypoint-wise it would just keep trucking till it got to you.

[41Sqn_Banks]

You should use the "GamePlay.gpFindPath()" method to let the game engine calculate the waypoints. This way the car will not cross water and use roads and bridges.

As the calculation of the waypoints is done asynchronous (in a different thread) you have to wait until the calculation is finished:

IRecalcPathParams pathParams = GamePlay.gpFindPath(start, 10.0, end, 20.0, PathType.GROUND, groundGroup.Army);
// start is the start coordinate, end it the end coordinate, 10.0 and 20.0 how much the calculated way is allowed to differ from start and end point.

while (pathParams.State == RecalcPathState.WAIT)
{
Game.gpLogServer(new Player[] { Game.gpPlayer() }, "Wait for path.", null);
// This is not a good idea, I think this would stop the game thread. Better check if the path calculation is finished within the OnTick() method.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
}
if (pathParams.State == RecalcPathState.SUCCESS)
{
Game.gpLogServer(new Player[] { Game.gpPlayer() }, "Path found (" + pathParams.Path.Length.ToString() + ").", null);
groundGroup.setWay(pathParams.Path)
}
else if(pathParams.State == RecalcPathState.FAILED)
{
Game.gpLogServer(new Player[] { Game.gpPlayer() }, "Path not found.", null);
}


Note that his should only show you the usage. It's not a good idea to sleep the thread while the game is running. I do it for the IL2DCE mission generation when I create the mission - but at this stage the mission is not running.

Look for navyr's tank war example how to check the result of the path calculation within the OnTick() method.

The API is part of the beta patch.
Thankyou fearlessfrog. Maybe the routine could be reworked so that instead of the pilot calling an ambulance via after-crash menu, an ambulance could arrive "automatically".

Pseudocode:
1. On player crash-landing
2. Is crash-landing within home base radius?
3. If so, cycle through vehicle objects and see if there is an ambulance (&/or fire truck)
4. If an ambulance exists, Is the ambulance within the same home base radius as the crash landing?
5. If so, then send the ambulance to the crash site (calculate waypoints).

awesome :)

maybe we could soon see a script who call supply truck to come...rearm us and go :)

[fearlessfrog]

Thanks Banks for the FindPath - yep, as I just put down the vehicle on the field I'd just do a quick A->B but that way is far better.

Ataros - Excellent script from narvy, could have done with that yesterday :)

It seems to do quite a lot, such as make sure the vehicles don't bump into the target aircraft (my ambulance was quite destructive) and dynamically spawn the vehicles in the airport dependent on the activity/closeness.

I love that on landing it can decide whether to put out a fire, re-arm you or go capture you as an enemy. Good stuff - thanks.

[csThor]

Two questions of a curious user (who wouldn't know how to code if his life depended on it):

1.) Wouldn't it be more logical to automate the process of ambulance and firetruck rushing to a damaged aircraft?

2.) Would it be possible to derive a similar procedure for rescue launches or similar "lifeboats"? I mean the Brits had them on the coast and the germans used whatever was locally available for the same purposes. It may be window-dressing for the moment but may be of importance later on (keyword: pilot-centric campaign).

[Mington]

1.) Wouldn't it be more logical to automate the process of ambulance and firetruck rushing to a damaged aircraft?

Exactly so, inbound to land is a damaged plane - set up to meet it with ambulance/fire engine

Trigger will be perhaps- DamagedPlane crosses some AirfieldEmergency radius - warm up ambulance and fire tender

If definitely landing, equipment approaches runway. Carefully :)

It's the coolest CoD FMB moment so far for me, it is a wonder thanks naryv your AirfieldEmergency script works first time perfectly. Awesome :)

(1) Yes, and that's what naryv's script does - it's great. Mine was far simpler and assumed that a vehicle already existed (I really just wanted to see how waypoints worked for ground units).

(2) That's a great idea and very possible.

[Raggz]

In the radio comms there is a command where you can call the tower for emergency. Could this be used as a trigger and have ambulance and firetruck rush out to the runway?

[Lookaloft]

Unfortunately I can’t get the Naryv script to work. I copied the script in Notepad and saved it under ANSI as an cs mission. I did this several times but each time the scriptwindow in my test singlemission says: namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods. CS- 0116.
I’m not familiar with C# but the scripts developed on this Forum are very interesting and absolutely impressive. I implement them in my single missions. Application of scripts is a must for the missionbuilder: it gives this beautiful COD-game an extra demension.

Hopefully someone can help me with this Naryv script

[Mington]

I copied the script in Notepad and saved it under ANSI

You can use Notepad++ which is recommended by the RoF team so maybe Maddox coders are using it, and perhaps save documents in the Unicode Big Endian format, again I've seen the RoF devs recommend this format - because of the Cyrillic characters probably but anyway-

Did you create a mission and then did you paste the copied text into the Scripts window?

I say this because your error was '...cannot directly contain members' - you may be doing something else with the text than pasting it in :)

Have the script-page Internet Explorer (or whatever browser) open, have the FMB running too - use Alt + Tab to switch between them to paste the text into the SCript tab edit window. Copy the script text by using the Ctrl + c trick, then in the FMB open the Scripts tab and do the Ctrl + v trick to paste the text in there. Select the block of text before hitting Ctrl + c to copy selected text to your Clipboard. Sorry if the grandmothers and eggs rule applies!

Make a simple mission with just one plane ready to roll and set it to Player pilot and so on, takeoff and damage the plane, see if the vehicles turn up at your crashed plane

Give me a PM shout if you're stuck and I'll send the mission on to you

Thanks for the hard work and research on these scripts. Some really awesomesauce going on in this thread.

I was wondering if someone could help me though. I'm using naryv's script to dispatch ambulances etc in a MP dogfight. There's also AI planes that periodically spawn and then land. The problem is that everytime an AI plane lands, fire trucks etc will spawn and eventually lag the game out.

Is there a way of limiting the spawn to just players?

I used to do scripting for Arma 2 (sqf) and the following would be appropriate to filter out AI:

if (_x == player) then
{
// code
};

I'm not used to C# yet and don't know the syntax well at this point. How could I filter out the AI so firetrucks etc only spawn and deploy for human controlled planes?

I've looked in the examples, but I can't 'get it' yet. I know you're busy guys so even a basic example/link would get me started.

Thanks

I copy the script direct in FMB window, so when save the mission the script is save too.

After a ''perfect'' wheels up landing they send me winch, fuel, ammo and bombs (spend previous load before landing)! :)

On a quick peek, I think there may be a bug around line 212, i.e. this bit:


if (!CurTechCars.Contains(TmpCar))
CurTechCars.Add(TmpCar);
MissionLoading = false;


..in that it's adding new cars even if they exist as it doesn't find a match for the existing object.

Another way to do this would be an 'if (CurTechCars.count < MAX_CARS) in before the CurTechCars.Add(TmpCar)

Hopefully that's a few clues, as I'm away from a computer (typing this on a pad)

[Lookaloft]

Mington, thanks for your detailed advice, and you too Sokol1 for your response. No grandmothers and eggs rule applied here, Ming. On the contrary I’m very happy with your suggestions, pleased as Punch as people say. Put them already into practice and all went very well now! What a terrific script this Naryv script, and what a fantastic game this Cliffs of Dover!

[Ataros]

It is not possible in the game yet and not planned yet. Ask the devs to include it if it is really needed (in appropriate threads). Their argument is that R&R takes at least 30 minutes and no one would really want to waste that much time neither offline nor online.

One work-around for this I had a play with was to fake it by taking the existing player/position and then destroying/recreating the same type of aircraft, i.e. you get refueled and re-armed, plus could even put a delay on that too. I know it's not realistic, but a 5 minute re-arm/refuel custom script does appeal.

This is the only way to do it now I am afraid.

BTW can you make the new aircraft to spawn at exactly the same position heading the same direction as the old one? If yes, the change would be hardly noticeable for a player.

I haven't tried to fix the rotation. Looking at the API I was assuming that the 'epsilon' point and angle might set that, i.e. 'Place().Pos().epsilonEquals' but would either have to try it a bit more (or we could ask the devs?)

Anyone else dealt with a rotation angle?

I managed to modify the script to only work on player planes by adding a condition to ignore AI planes - using !isAiControlledPlane(aircraft)

It's working for player planes only now quite nicely. :)

I'd like to have a go at adding in some code to rearm/refuel/repair. Off the top of my head, it could probably work by automatically setting fuel etc to 1 when the relevant truck completes it's last waypoint. Or when it completes it's last waypoint, then it activates the Mission menu for the player to select the appropriate emergency service. I'm not sure if these solutions would be possible as I don't know many of the scripting commands.

How can you see the API? Do you have to run kegetys -dump command or is there a different way to look at the API (in the COD folder somewhere maybe)?

EDIT: I suspect it's in the maddox.dll....

[fearlessfrog]

The API is written using Microsoft .Net libraries, so you can examine them in things like Visual Studio (there is a free edition called Express). The 'object browser' shows the signatures and symbols of the files like game.world.dll that you reference in your project.

Yes that's looking good :)

I haven't tested your one but it should work. I left in the condition to check for an airfield and added the condition to check for player planes:

public override void OnAircraftLanded(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft aircraft)
{
base.OnAircraftLanded(missionNumber, shortName, aircraft);

AiAirport NearestAirport = FindNearestAirport(aircraft);
//if (NearestAirport != null)

if ((NearestAirport != null) && (!isAiControlledPlane(aircraft)))
{
PlanesQueue CurPlane = new PlanesQueue(aircraft, NearestAirport, 0);
int ArmyPos = 0;
CurPlane.health = (float)aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.M _Health, -1);
if (GamePlay.gpFrontExist())
{
ArmyPos = GamePlay.gpFrontArmy(NearestAirport.Pos().x, NearestAirport.Pos().y);
}
else { ArmyPos = aircraft.Army(); };
if (CurPlane.health < 1f)
{
CurPlane.State |= ServiceType.EMERGENCY;
CurPlane.State |= ServiceType.FIRE;
}
else if (aircraft.Army() == ArmyPos)
{
CurPlane.State |= ServiceType.FUEL;
CurPlane.State |= ServiceType.AMMO;
if (aircraft.Type() == AircraftType.Bomber) CurPlane.State |= ServiceType.BOMBS;
};
if (!(aircraft.Army() == ArmyPos)) CurPlane.State |= ServiceType.PRISONERCAPTURE;
if (!CurPlanesQueue.Contains(CurPlane))
{
CurPlanesQueue.Add(CurPlane);
CheckEmrgCarOnAirport(CurPlanesQueue.Count - 1);
}
else
{
for (int i = 0; i < CurPlanesQueue.Count; i++)
if (CurPlanesQueue[i] == CurPlane)
{
CheckEmrgCarOnAirport(i);
break;
}
}
CurPlane = null;
};

}

There's probably a set of unnecessary brackets in there, but it works ok. I haven't tested on a dedicated server, just a hosted one.

If you've got any hints for setting up a repair script, please share :) I can't find the scripting commands in the beta code, so any pointers would be welcome!

I'm hoping that we can get a reference page for scripting commands on a wiki, much like this one:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands_ArmA2

That would be really useful.

[Ataros]

Oh and Ataros this is latest update with install instructions back in the mix.
I know you don't like the vehicles spawning straight away. But as the game goes one side does begin to win over the other and the randomness is good.

feel free to offer a tick time code to put in for armour spawn after destroyed or on new load mission for armour.

Thank you very much!
Regarding spawn delay I have a concern: what happens when a marker is captured and then a delayed spawn of a defending tank group occurs? Probably the marker color changes again and it is recaptured by the defending side?

[Gerbil Maximus]

Hey all I'm new to Cliffs FMB but long time lurker here and decided to register as this script has me stumped.

So I have made my MP Dogfight Mission, its ready and working. So can someone give me a quite instruction on how to put this ambulance script into my game (which ever script is best). Sorry if its real simple by the way but i cant understand how to.

Thank you

Gerbil M

[Ataros]

1. Copy and paste the script to notepad and save as a .cs file (not .cs.txt !!!) The file must have the same name as the mission .mis file.

2. Put the .cs file in the same directory as .mis file.

3. Run the mission.

[Gerbil Maximus]

Ah rgr i see thank you Ataros :) will test soon so this should work for every airfield in my MP map?

[Mington]

Gerbil you can also add the script to your mission by- after the copy operation Ataros speaks of above, if your FMB is running and you are looking at your mission, you can go to the Script tab and paste the text in there to create the script. This can be easier than finding the mission on your computer :)

(I tell you this to point out that CoD is Windows-friendly, standard Windows operations like Ctrl + v work)

I know it's not realistic, but a 5 minute re-arm/refuel custom script does appeal.


Probably seems like a dumb question but what is the command to spawn an aircraft as described above.

Thanks

Load a ready submission which contains an aircraft or dynamical create a submission file with a script and then load it. Check out how naryv creates tanks in his examples attached in a sticky thread above.

OK, I can see the principle of the section file and how to create a sub mission from script. I'm sure I could put in static objects, chiefs and AI flights but how do I force a human pilot into an aircraft at a specific coordinate?

Thanks

Player Class: PlaceEnter(Actor, Placeindex)
example:
player.PlaceEnter(Aircraft, 0);

Thanks to everyone who posted about the ambulance script on this thread. I've worked on an updated version of it that is designed to work in multiuser servers (though it should work offline just as well).

- Vehicles spawn in along with you & then drive off (ie, your service vehicles just finished with getting your a/c ready, then they drive off)

- When you land (full stop landing--putting chocks in will make sure) the fuel & repair trucks will come trundling up pretty soon.

- Whenever you crash, even just borking up a takeoff & damaging your propeller & undercarriage, you'll soon be visited by an ambulance and a fire truck. Even if you crash out in the middle of nowhere. Only exception would be in water--they if close to the shore the emergency vehicles will do their best & drive right up to the shore. (Rescue boats will hae to come in a future version I guess. Someone to pick you up when you parachute in could be a future improvement as well.)

- Vehicles mostly avoid you but if you hit them they WILL damage you. So you have to look sharp & avoid.

- Vehicles travel to & from Spawn Points (ie, "Birthplace" in the .mis files) preferentially. They always travel more or less directly between the target aircraft & an area immediately around the spawn point .This gives you general control over where the vehicles appear & where they travel to/park just by moving the spawn point at your airfield in FMB.

- I couldn't get the "reuse old vehicles at the same airport" code to work at all, so this simply spawns in new vehicles every time & then spawns them out after they are no longer needed. It seems to work fine so far.

-You're welcome to use as is or adapt for use in your own scripts, missions, servers, etc.

- It's designed to be a painless plug-in to any existing mission. It's a self-standing mission, so you just put it in your mission folder & then load it as a sub-mission during OnBattleStarted().

FILE: auto-generate-vehicles.cs

<see separate message>

The mission file is just a stub and you don't need anything in it except the headers (and maybe not even those--I haven't really experimented). It just allows your main .cs file to load the auto-vehicle-generate.cs neatly as a sub-mission. However I like to keep a minimal .mis file in place with a map, weather, etc. because then you can edit & run it easily in FMB. That is helpful for testing. Here is my sample .mis file:

In the MAIN mission script file you have something like this:
FILE: main.cs
public override void OnBattleStarted()
{
base.OnBattleStarted();
ReadInitialSubmissions(MISSION_ID + "-auto-generate-vehicles", 0, 0);
//etc . . . your code

}

}

Here is the ReadInitialSubmission script I use:


public void ReadInitialSubmissions(string filenameID, int timespread=60, int wait=0)
{

string MISSION_ID = "M001";

string USER_DOC_PATH = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.MyDocuments); // DO NOT CHANGE
string CLOD_PATH = USER_DOC_PATH + @"/1C SoftClub/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD/"; // DO NOT CHANGE
string FILE_PATH = @"missions/Multi/MyMissionFolder"; // mission install directory (CHANGE AS NEEDED - your sub-mission .mis and .cs files should be in this directory)

List<string> InitSubMissions = GetFilenamesFromDirectory(CLOD_PATH + FILE_PATH, filenameID); // gets .mis files with with word filenameID in them

DebugAndLog ("Debug: Loading " + InitSubMissions.Count + " missions to load. " + filenameID + " " + CLOD_PATH + FILE_PATH);
foreach (string s in InitSubMissions)
{
//Distribute loading of initial sub-missions over the first timespread seconds
//If you make each sub-mission small enough it will load without a noticeable stutter
//If they are large & make a noticeable stutter, probably best to load them all very near the beginning of the mission
//so that all the stutters happen at that point
if ((timespread==0) && (wait==0)) {
GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad(s);
DebugAndLog( s + " file Loaded");
} else {
Timeout(wait + random.Next(timespread), () => {

GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad(s);

});
}
}

}



You need to be sure that event triggers are enabled--and enabled in the right place. Similar code is already in auto-vehicle-generate.cs but I think perhaps you also need it in your main mission cs file. (In any event, if you've been trying to use triggers and having trouble, not having this flag set correctly, or setting it to late in the startup process, might be your problem.)


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//Listen to events of every mission

MissionNumberListener = -1; //Listen to events of every mission

//If we load missions as sub-missions, as we often do, it is vital to have this in Init, not in "onbattlestarted" or some other place where it may never be detected or triggered if this sub-mission isn't loaded at the very start.

Last, you must have lines like the following in the [rts] section of both your conf.ini and confs.ini file.

I believe that conf.ini pertains to your regular Launcher.exe process and confs.ini applies if you are running "Launcher.exe -server" as a dedicated server. Note that you will need to exit Launcher.exe, then edit and save conf.ini & confs.ini, then re-start Launcher.exe. If you don't follow this process, your conf.ini and/or confs.ini will be overwritten when Launcher.exe exits.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who has been posting here and in other forums. The code above includes tons of techniques and snippets borrowed from here and there. All horrible hacks and terrible formatting are my own :-)
