Mission Planner: How to set a flight with a delayed start?

[mcler002]

Here you go

Basically you make one "Trigger" and one "Action"

Both the trigger and action must have the SAME NAME to work!

With the action, you must select the aircraft in question

... Thats about it...

Ref to pics!! Ref to Aircraft "call signs"

Cheers

Extra A rookie at flying, natural with FMB lol

Excellent thanks a lot, really appreciate that. I had done exactly as you did but not with the same name.

Well done mcler002

I've been trying to figure out how to work the scripts all week !

I'm having a good look at how the campaigns are put together, very annoying that you save missions to 'my docs' COD... but for campaigns to work you have to put them into steam COD which mucks up any images and sound files...working on cutting and pasting locations into missions for this...

I have tried the trigger action same name and it seems to work within the FMB but not when you Serve the mission as a Client/Server.

Also what in what format should the sounds be. The old IL2 sound compression format does not seem to work. Anyone had any luck?

It is written in your manual that scripting and other advanced features will have documents, but they aren't with the initial release of COD.

KDN i launched the same map (as i used for the test) on muiltplayer sever (as i will probably play it with my dad at some point lol) and it worked... Maybe if you attach the map your making, i can have a look for you??

Well, if you can make it to work, there is probably something I am not doing on my end. Just so I can have a quick result I set only timers for three groups. All triggers and actions are happening when I test it in FMB but not when I run it in a Multiplayer environment. Does the mission have to be in a specific folder?
