Hud Message

[Punch_145]

Trying to get a hud message to appear when an aircraft is destroyed but cant find the code to get a players name or the class he destroyed to display.

Tried a number of different ways to this but no joy .

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

GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("?PlayerName? Destroyed + ?planeType?");

}

}



Is there a way to get this to display?

Regards

Anybody point me in the right direction..................Still get an error at the end of the GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter line ?
How do I end that line ?


using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;

public class Mission : maddox.game.AMission
{

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

if (aircraft != null && damagedAircrafts.Exists(element => element == aircraft))
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(null, "{0} Shot Down" + planeType +");
}
}
}

Not sure this is exactly what you are trying to achieve

public override void OnActorDead(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiActor actor, List<DamagerScore> initiatorList)
{


if (actor is AiAircraft)
{
if (shortName.IndexOf("607Sqn", 0) > 0) MySquad++;// indicate playerSqn loss

if (actor.Army() == 2)
{
cEnemy++;
//GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(shortName);
if (shortName.IndexOf("ErprGr210F", 0) > 0) hunt++;
}

else bomb++;


is a snippet from Redux campaign that shows something similar to what you want?- particularly the commented out HUDLog line

The 'plane type' is handled by referencing the Sqn shortName and incrementing 'counters- probably not elegant but is good enough for what was required in that campaign

Hi Bolox,
Was trying to get the kind of message you see in the server menu into the hud for a online dogfight.
Something like this:
