Online War - FMB scripting

[TheEnlightenedFlorist]

Thanks for the help Ataros, I'll start experimenting with that right away.

As for your code, what exactly isn't working? I can tell you right now that case 3 will never run because the Next(int, int) method returns an integer greater than or equal to the smaller number, but only less than the larger number. In other words, it will never return three, just one or two. It should look like this:

switch (RandomIncident.Next(1, 4))

Thanks, changed this. Should there be a space between the figures or does not matter?

I am trying to run this script with reduced delays for testing purposes and it does not load any submission or prints any message at all.

The space does not matter. "Whitespace is ignored", as they say.

I'm not at my desktop so I can't run your mission, but I can't see why that code wouldn't work.

It should look like:

Thank you very much!! Works great!

Would it be hard to exclude the last mission flown from random selection for the next round? As I am getting case #3 like 4 times in a row, than case 2 2 times. It can become boring for players. (I am planning to add more various missions to it in the future.)

We will test the script on Repka 2 for some time and then move it to Repka 1.

Welcome to our servers!

It's possible to avoid repeating of last mission:

public class Mission : AMission
{
    int LastMissionLoaded=0;
 
    // loading sub-missions
    public override void OnTickGame()
    {
    
        if (Time.tickCounter() % 1800 == 1000) // 54000=30 min repeat. 12600=7 min delay. 
        {
            // randomly selects 1 of several submissions

	    Random RandomIncident = new Random();
	    int CurrentMissionSelected;

	    do
            {
                 CurrentMissionSelected = RandomIncident.Next(1,4);
            }		
	    while (LastMissionLoaded == CurrentMissionSelected);
				
	    LastMissionLoaded = CurrentMissionSelected;

            switch (CurrentMissionSelected)
            {

I use C# everyday and I can't imagine using any of the .NET stuff to code a flight sim.

Thank you so much again! I love this beautiful C# language. I had only some very limited acquaintance with Basiс long time ago (

Tested offline and now put up on Repka 2 for online test. Randomization will give us possibility to add more missions and overlap them randomly in time to make the airwar environment absolutely unpredictable.

I consider Repka server as a sandbox or a demo for the game-engine possibilities hoping that more people from community would be involved in mission-building and even in creation of online wars like ADW, Bellum or AFW as soon as they see how far the engine allows them to go compared to limited IL-2 COOPs or Dogfights. Unfortunately I do not have enough knowledge in C# myself.

Your help is highly appreciated.
