I am not sure it is possible to overload ABattle without creating your own add-in.

Hm just try and error and see what happen, ABattle has mostly the same methods than AMission. The only examples i know are from the campaign directory and are only single missions.
I wish there where a documentation about scripting. :rolleyes:

        }



    public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)

    {

        base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);

        Timeout(1, () =>

        {

                 _DespawnEmptyPlane(actor);

        });

    }

}

}

No457_Mako & myself tweaked this code so that the server is included in the workings. The Server isn't listed in the GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() array.

Code:

using System;

using maddox.game;

using maddox.game.world;

using System.Collections.Generic;



public class  Mission : AMission

{

        public void _DespawnEmptyPlane(AiActor actor)

        {

                if (actor == null)

                        return;

                Player[] Players = GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers();

                bool PlaneIsEmpty = true;

                foreach (Player i in Players) {

                        if (((i.Place() as AiAircraft) == (actor as AiAircraft)) || ((GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() as AiAircraft) == (actor as AiAircraft))) {

                                PlaneIsEmpty = false;

                                break;

                        }

                }

                if (PlaneIsEmpty) {

                        (actor as AiAircraft).Destroy();

                }

        }



    public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex) {

                base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);

                Timeout(1, () => {

                        _DespawnEmptyPlane(actor);

                });

    }

}

HI Squoag,

I tried your version in nthe post above and it despawned the plane if I changed from pilot to a gunners position.

I tested this on my own 'server' and in single player. Obviously in MP this would not be desireable!

Hi Flashman,

Are you 100% sure that you used the second code block in my post and not the first? What you're seeing is very symptomatic of the first code block in my post. I put it there as a before/after for the original author but perhaps I should mark it more clearly...

Will test on Australian Skies tomorrow

EDIT: This works for me, thanks No457_Mako & No457_Squog, has helped with server stability. Ran 3 maps no worries, we were having issues with loading new maps before this

Worked with Position swap ONLINE in the bf 110 as well.

Hi Sqouag,

Im pretty sure I tried both but truth be told you have me wondering now.... I will try this again when I get the time and see if it works for me.

Please note: i tried this on my own 'server' not on the Syndicate server.

Script to destroy actors in a mission (e.g. before loading new one to server).

This kills mission (or submission) own actors. To kill all actors 'living' on a server (e.g. loaded by other missions) remove the lines put in blue color.

Code:

foreach (int army in GamePlay.gpArmies())

            {

                foreach (AiAirGroup group in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army))

                {

                    if (ActorName.MissionNumber(group.Name()).Equals(MissionNumber))

                    {

                        AiActor[] members = group.GetItems();

                        for (int i = members.Length - 1; i > -1; i--)

                        {

                            (members[i] as AiAircraft).Destroy();

                        }

                    }

                }

                foreach (AiGroundGroup group in GamePlay.gpGroundGroups(army))

                {

                    if (ActorName.MissionNumber(group.Name()).Equals(MissionNumber))

                    {

                        AiActor[] members = group.GetItems();

                        for (int i = members.Length - 1; i > -1; i--)

                        {

                            (members[i] as AiGroundActor).Destroy();

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

Should solve "actor not destroyed" problem.

May need some testing and fine-tuning.

I would appear Beta 4 breaks all of these kill actor scripts... well it does 4 me

Phew its not just our server then, I rolled back to Beta 1 and the scripts work again.
