spawn airgroups?

[SNAFU]

I don´t know if it was fixed in the Beta, but the action (spawn airgroup) of triggers was broken, some patches ago. So you have to use a script to link triggers and actions. I supposed you set the trigger and the action in the FMB.

That's what I've done. The info window reports that the group has spawned in my test, indicating that the script has executed, but alas no planes actually spawned

Here's the script I used, the trigger & the spawn airgroup (after 60s) actions are both named 'Dorniers'...

public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
{
base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

if ("Dorniers".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("Dorniers"); //same as YourTriggerName
GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, " German bomber group spawned ", new object[] { }); //Testmessage
if (action != null)
{
action.Do();
}
GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
}
}

Try without the delay.

Made a sample mission, the Doniers spawn after 10sec.

im still not able to spawn a single plane after another one gets destroyed!!!
why the heck has this to be sooo hard to achieve...damn
triggers dont seem to work and the scripts showed here in this thread dont seem to work either if i copy and paste them in the mission cs file.

thats what i did so far...

I've tested your mission, the problem is that the trigger is never triggered (testet it with different numbers of planes and plane types), then remove the trigger and made a new one but no effect, may be a bug in the Beta. Normaly your code should work.

So I made a workaroung without trigger.

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


public class Mission : AMission
{

    public override void OnActorDead(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiActor actor, List<DamagerScore> damages)
    {
        base.OnActorDead(missionNumber, shortName, actor, damages);

        AiAction MakeNewAircraft = GamePlay.gpGetAction("SpawnAircraft");
        
        if (actor != null && MakeNewAircraft != null)
        {
            if (actor.Name().Contains("BoB_RAF_F_FatCat_Early.000"))
            {

                MakeNewAircraft.Do();
                GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("New Enemy spawned!");
            }
        }
    }
}

What you need:
The script, a action in your Mission (i labled it "SpawnAircraft"), the name of the plane to destroy.
A new Airplane spawns after the previous is shoot down, you can improve it by adding a Planecount, etc.
