Online / multiplayer missions go here

[doghous3]

Good idea. Sticky would be good.


Mission based for 128+ player's. English channel. Version 1.6

Each side consists of three fighter airfields, one bomber airfield (with escort/interceptor airfield next to it)

Some bomber objectives include ship convoy's, fuel depot, and a tank factory.

Each side will have a recurring AI squadron spawn at different times. Either Wellington's or HE111, which will fly to an enemy fighter airfield, and bomb it!

A short message will flash on the screen to notify all player's of event starting.

Player controlled planes get removed if player leaves, respawn's. That is AI takes control, the plane will no longer exist.

Damaged planes at spawnable airfield's will also be removed.

I think that's the important info. Enjoy.

Is it done by airfield.cpp or how do you do it?

[doghous3]

yup. place an AI object and use airfield.cpp, you can give it a radius effect too.

doghouse i just loaded your map (nice job ) and spawned in one plane and then spawned another one and first one was gone I tried doing the same to one of my maps by adding the script below after hiting save in FMD it generated a .cs file of the same map name ...but the destroying of empty plyer planes did not work can you tell me what i did wrong? thnx

using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Mission : AMission
{


public override void OnTickGame()
{
{
if (Time.tickCounter() % 1200 == 0)
{

GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions\Multi\Dogfigh t\basic40c.mis");
}
}
}

public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
{
base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);
Timeout(1, () =>
{
AiAircraft CurAircraft = player.Place() as AiAircraft;
AiAircraft PrevAircraft = actor as AiAircraft;
if (CurAircraft != PrevAircraft)
{ (actor as AiAircraft).Destroy(); }
});
}

}

With that mission, I take it the sub-mission didn't load.

The issue is with void OnTickGame().

You used back-slash instead of forward-slash. The syntax error would in this instance prevented the rest of the script to run.

So with the changes below, it will work.



using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Mission : AMission
{


public override void OnTickGame()
{
if (Time.tickCounter() % 1200 == 0)
{

GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfigh t/basic40c.mis");
}
}


public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
{
base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);
Timeout(1, () =>
{
AiAircraft CurAircraft = player.Place() as AiAircraft;
AiAircraft PrevAircraft = actor as AiAircraft;
if (CurAircraft != PrevAircraft)
{ (actor as AiAircraft).Destroy(); }
});
}

}

Guys,

where do you get all this info from, settings, scripting (and should it be necessary?) etc

Anyway, anything I can find to help me build missions would be good. A community self-help manual Sticky??

Small collection here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21518

Manual from developers is not ready yet. You can start now with learning some C# basics I think.

Ive got the script to work... but no aircraft appear... (i have 6 spitfires loaded on the map)...

And can someone explain the tick counter and how to "work it"

Cheers

Check that path is correct and open doghous3 or my example to add a line printing smth on screen to confirm that mission is loaded.

30 tics a second give you 1800 tics per minute.

if (Time.tickCounter() % 1200 == 0)

1200 - is cycle here
0 - is initial delay before running script.

I'd suggest taking doghous3 script to start with and just change filenames in it to avoid simple mistakes. This is what I did with his mission.

New version of "Battle of France"

Added guns to tankers.
Spawns assigned to runways on some airfields.
etc.
