Online War - FMB scripting

What is the best script to remove empty & crash landed planes.. there seem to be many versions knocking about.

I've heard there are issues with these scripts & the latest patch.. some enlightenment would be much appreciated.

Looking at bob & bof 1.6 neither seem to have these scripts added..

Did you try this one? http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...0&postcount=92

Runs on Repka server. I think it works (not 100% sure though of cause ) .

WOW!

I start getting depressed that flying at 400kmh, jinking like mad, the last thing I will want to do is looking a the detail of the AAA shooting at me....

It looks as if the mission builders will have as much fun as the pilots with this sim...

Great job, we will go throgh hell finding out about the details but, great job!


Nice week end to all !

thanks for all the scripting info.
I am trying your tmp script with three sub missions.
It gets as far as loading the first sub mission and then my plane explodes.
The text message is shown in cockpit then boom!
Please help.

Disregard..pilot error

Thanks for the thread Ataros. Very helpful.

Is there a reason you guys are using "ticks" to measure time. C# has a few different ways of keeping track of time. Here's an example using the Stopwatch class. Don't get me wrong, modulus is great but this stopwatch is probably more accurate and it's a heck of a lot more readable.

using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;   //contains Stopwatch class

public class Mission : AMission
{
    int timesRun = 0;   //count how many times sub-mission has been run

    Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();   //timer. Counts... time...

    public override void OnTickGame()
    {
        
        //if sub-mission has never been run, run it
        if (timesRun == 0) 
        {
            //start timer
            timer.Start();

            GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/MyMissions/mission1.mis");
            timesRun++;

            // prints message on screen after mission load
            GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Hello, world! Mission1.mis loaded!");
        }

        //if five or more minutes have elapsed since the timer was started, run sub-mission
        if (timer.Elapsed.Minutes >= 5)
        {
            GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/MyMissions/mission1.mis");
            timesRun++;

            GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Hello, world! Mission1.mis loaded!");

            //reset timer to zero and restart it
            timer.Restart();
        }
    }
}

The problem with external timing is that you will get time according to your system and not to game. Simulation can slow down because of lag, and external timer won't take that into account, i.e. briefing can say that bombers start at 9:00, however you may see that start greatly off its planned time (according to game clock), if you use external timer.

If you want to get rid of counting ticks, you can use this:

	//Runs once, when mission is loaded
	public override void Init(maddox.game.ABattle battle, int missionNumber)
	{
		base.Init(battle,missionNumber);
		//Planned missions
		MissionLoader(30,10,"missions/Multi/Dogfight/bombers1.mis");  // 10s from main mission start and repeatedly every 30s
		MissionLoader(100,60,"missions/Multi/Dogfight/bombers2.mis"); // 60s from main mission start and repeatedly every 100s
	}
	
	public void MissionLoader(int period, int offset, string mission)
	{
		if (offset > 0)
			Timeout(offset, () => {MissionLoader(period,0,mission);});
		else
			{
				GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad(mission);	
				Timeout(period, () => {MissionLoader(period,0,mission);});		
			}
	}
