spawn airgroups?
 

just cannot get airplanes to spawn.
in the FMB i want to spawn a group of planes after another is destroyed, but nothing happens.:confused:
after i destroyed the first group, the second will just not appear.
can someone please explain how to do that?

The Trigger-Action was broken a few patchs ago. You have to activate the Action by script.

First define Triggers as usual (Groupdead Triggers must have same Name as the Spawn-Action) and then implement the following into your script:

You can also work around the trigger by script methods, but that`s another story. ;)

thx but doesnt seem to work...

... and doesn't seem to work for me either (spawning a bomber group every x seconds) :(

Mmh, you are using a script like the following and named your triggers and actions accordingly, also in the script? (Triggername = Actionname)

At least that works for me in multiplayer enviroment. Maybe you test you map in multiplayer hosting as server? Some triggers do not work on a dedicated server, but I understood that is not your question.

If you do not use any script FMB triggers would work if name of a trigger and action are the same.

If you have any script working with your mission you have to add a trigger section to it to allow triggers to work. The most simple one is
Your FMB trigger and action must have the same name if you use this script.

Check if both action and trigger are defined correctly (trigger type, airgroup, etc.) and saved in FMB.

I don´t know if it was fixed in the Beta, but the action (spawn airgroup) of triggers was broken, some patches ago. So you have to use a script to link triggers and actions. I supposed you set the trigger and the action in the FMB. :cool:

That's what I've done. The info window reports that the group has spawned in my test, indicating that the script has executed, but alas no planes actually spawned :(

Here's the script I used, the trigger & the spawn airgroup (after 60s) actions are both named 'Dorniers'...

public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
{
base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

if ("Dorniers".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("Dorniers"); //same as YourTriggerName
GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, " German bomber group spawned ", new object[] { }); //Testmessage
if (action != null)
{
action.Do();
}
GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
}
}

:confused: How is this possible?

Try without the delay.

Made a sample mission, the Doniers spawn after 10sec.
