strange behaviour of some function ( classes?)

Im havign a mission with my current mission wich is a little bit of a pain, since i think its not a code problem. ( i will psot the code later)

but the

-ifplayercrashlanded
-ifplayerlanded
-playerisairbourne

function / classes, give faulty resoults.

some times i land, and the the trigger is not launched, others i crash land, and same happens (even with a basic "hello world" ),

To overcome this i created a refly menu option who uses "player is airbourne function), yet some times im safe and sound on the ground and this still doesnt work :S

this is kind of ruining my scripting efforts. Is this an ingame recurrent issue?

-ifplayercrashlanded
depends on Location, if you crashed near or at a Airfield, its not triggered you get a regular landing.

-ifplayerlanded
Works normal for me in Single and Player hosted server, Problems sometimes on dedicated.

-playerisairbourne
works normal for me.

Let me see your code, please

code will be available here in a coupel of hours...

sorry admins, i posted this in the wrong place, can you move this to the FMB forum? thats were it was supposed to be in :S

Roger, will move to FMB forum ;)

Thnaks blackdog!

int value = 0;

if (player != null)

switch (player.Army())

case 1:
if (rafa.TryGetValue((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName(), out value))
{
rafa[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()] = value + 1;
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "You will refly in 5 seconds!");
Timeout(5, () => { destroyPlane(aircraft); });
}

break;

case 2:
if (lwa.TryGetValue((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName(), out value))
{
lwa[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()] = value + 1;
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "You will refly in 5 seconds!");
Timeout(5, () => { destroyPlane(aircraft); });
}
break;
}
else
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Refly is not possible if Airbourne!");
}
}
setMainMenu(player);

}

}
}

this function works perfectly for newly spawn planes, but if take a short circuit and land, or crash, it no longer works, im sitted in my plane and i get the ""Refly is not possible if Airbourne!""

crashlanded was working ok last night, but was giving issues the other one,

int value = 0;

if (aircraft.Player(0) != null)

if (player != null)

switch (player.Army())

bluescore = bluescore + rafv[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()];
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "You crashed!, {0} : LOST!", new object[] { SplitName((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()) });

}
break;
}

same thing for onplayerlanded, works 90% of the time, its the 10% who get me mad :(

For IsAirborne you can make your own

Simply check:
(actor as AiAircraft).getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.Z_Alt itudeAGL, -1)
(actor as AiAircraft).getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.Z_Vel ocityTAS, -1)

First is Height over Ground, Second is True Airspeed in m/sec.

So if for exampe

Code:

(actor as AiAircraft).getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.Z_AltitudeAGL, -1) <= 1.0

and

Code:

(actor as AiAircraft).getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.Z_VelocityTAS, -1) <= 1.0

you can get shure the plane is on the ground, but you should test the Values.

For checking if plane is Damaged you can use

Code:

(actor as AiAircraft).getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.M_Health, -1)

== 1 if not damaged < 1 if damaged

soudns amazing. so i can actually get in flight parameters fo the planes? that could be usefull for a lot of stuff!

i will work furthter on this tomorrow, no time today... :(

is the 1.0 in meters and killometers? on the check speed and altitude?

also does

Quote:

(actor as AiAircraft).getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.M_Hea lth, -1)

can be used for static planes? im havign this "issue" where i strafe enemey parked (Ground object) planes, and they are left burning, yet they dont count as destroyed. if i could use this, maybe i could give the points to the team according to the damage done to straffed planes?

thanks Kodiak,

meters, all return values are metric
