Can i have the complete mission please?

here it is...

it also would be great if the hurris of the main mission-could be destroyed after a while as well, but they should remain longer on the map then the He's...tried that by myself, but without luck, so i deleted the part again from the script.

FG28_Kodiak, it looks like PassThrough trigger works 2 times, when entering the zone and when exiting it. If there are several aircraft they can triger it several time as well. A solution is not to do any calculations or actions in onTrigger method but make them in some other method like OnTickGame if the trigger was active before. It looks like my mission works now with this workaround but it is not very convenient. If you have any advice I will be grateful.

The mission is here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...1&postcount=10

Thanks again!

Evening Chaps,

got a strange problem using a TTime trigger that isn't firing while being called though a submission that is loaded via the GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad function.

If I load the mission by itself then the TTime trigger works fine. Apparently there's something within the main mission that seems to void a TTime trigger within a submission.

I've read through the entire thread but since I'm a noob at coding, I haven't found anything that adresses the issue specifically.

I'm sure most here will recognise the basic script. The Bold portion in the script below loads the submission:

Code:
using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Mission : AMission
{
 

 AiAircraft PlayerPlane;

// destroys aircraft abandoned by a player.
    private bool isAiControlledPlane (AiAircraft aircraft)
    {
                if (aircraft == null)
        {
                        return false;
                }

                Player [] players = GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers ();
                foreach (Player p in players)
        {   
                        if (p != null && (p.Place () is AiAircraft) && (p.Place () as AiAircraft) == aircraft)
            {
                                return false;
                        }
                }

                return true;
        }

        private void destroyPlane (AiAircraft aircraft) {
                if (aircraft != null) {
                        aircraft.Destroy ();
                }
        }

        private void explodeFuelTank (AiAircraft aircraft)
    {
                if (aircraft != null)

                }

                GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(playersInArmy.ToArray(), message);
            }
        }
    }
}
The triggers themselves are also properly defined within the .mis file of the submission, so that shouldn't be a problem. As stated, everything works fine when I load the mission by itself.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

Danke schön

Update

Been doing some "debugging" with a squadie who works in the field and now we're both scratching our heads.

We've implimented a gpHUDLogCenter Message just to see if the triggers are actually meeting thier requirements. They definately are and this begs the question why those three flights aren't spawning. This has us both stumped.

Code:
    public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
    {
        //base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);
        {
                    GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(string.Format("Mission {0}, Name {1}, Active={2}", missionNumber, shortName, active));
            }
        //Triggers for RAF actions
        //Report Examples
        //SendScreenMessageTo(Allies, "Message to Red");
        //SendScreenMessageTo(Axis, "Message to Blue");
        if ((shortName == "LW_Spawn_7A") && active)
        {
            AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("LW_Spawn_7A"); //TriggerName
            if (action != null)
            {
                        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(string.Format("We have action {0}", action.Name));
                action.Do();
            }

        }
        if ((shortName == "LW_Spawn_7B") && active)
        {
            AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("LW_Spawn_7B"); //TriggerName
            if (action != null)
            {
                        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(string.Format("We have action {0}", action.Name)); 
                action.Do();
            }

        }
        if ((shortName == "LW_Spawn_7C") && active)
        {
            AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("LW_Spawn_7C"); //TriggerName
            if (action != null)
            {
                        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(string.Format("We have action {0}", action.Name));
                action.Do();
            }

        }
We are getting messages stating the trigger number, name and its active status so now we know that the actual trigger is firing and getting passed through to action.Do(). Still, the aircraft tied to those triggers aren't spawning at the airfield. I figured it might be a problem with the airfield itself (spawn points) and tested with air starts. No luck.

Frustrating to say the least.

Have you tried compiling the whole cs, including the new loaded sub mis into one complete cs?

As it stands the triggers are a little buggy, especially as dedicated style hosting. I suspect the DS is simplified allowing for basic operation and missing many advanced ops awaiting final Dedicated proper to be created.

I have been trying to get passthru triggers too work for players, proved to be quite difficult but have something semi functioning now.

Gromic 02-04-2012 07:39 AM
Fixed.

But don't ask me why as I can't explain it. I figured if it's not the script itself then maybe there's a problem with the trigger itself (although I couldn't find any). So I deleted the 3 triggers (LW_Spawn_7C / LW_Spawn_7B / LW_Spawn_7A) using the FMB, saved the mission, restarted the game and proceeded to create them again using the exact same groups, times, etc. I didn't have much to lose after wasting a day banging my head on the table over this problem.

Sure enough. The triggers fired as they had always done with the side effect of the groups actually spawning and the mission purring along as initially intended. At this point my house was filled with loud, booming vocal expletives #censored# because it made absolutly no sense whatsoever and (repeat) - scratch one day with the kind help of CloDs FMB.

This morning I decided to compare the mission files themselves since I make regular 2 hour incremental backups with storagecraft and therefore always have a copy of any files past gone. There is no deviation between yesterday (mission not working) and todays (mission working) portions of the mis file that pertain to the triggers except for the listed order.

Code:
Excerpt from triggers and actions group in non working .mis:

[Trigger]
  LW_Spawn_7C TTime 15
  LW_Spawn_7B TTime 25
  LW_Spawn_7A TTime 65

There's a lesson of insanity in all this. FMB scripted missions don't function properly using logical (human) load orders. They need anarchy to work properly.

<sideswipe> Probably the reason why the patch is taking so long </sideswipe>

Hats off and cheers to all you masochistic FMB junkies out there

S!

Try loading an airgroup via loading sub-submission with the airgroup, not via action included into the submision. It may be more reliable.

Every time you open a trigger/action window in FMB you have to save it even if you do not edit it. Otherwise it may revert to some default values.
Also clearing cache folder may help.

Stirling work for the war effort there Gromic. Whilst I was out partying on my 1 day pass into the City I had no idea that you boffins were working so hard at it breaking the Jerry code. Top work and a 3 day pass with skirt thrown in for you. :D
