New coop script

[41Sqn_Banks]

Both answers are yes, however I need to enhance the script. I hope I have time to do this next week.

Awesome!

This is really a great piece of work and has totally revitalized No.401 Squadron in a big way.

We hope to use this script to help bring a CO-OP campaign to fruition. We're testing with the current version and signs are really good.

Very nice..Tried this and looks very promising only problem for me is if I use your script, Triggers and Actions seem to stop working? or am I doing something wrong?

I am unable to get the script to work, I've downloaded the example mission and loaded on my host machine (not dedicated server), started the mission as multiplayer (coop) and then have a client try and join the mission. The host is able to select an aircraft but the client, typing any of the three commands sees nothing. An following error is shown on the client machine: *WPF.Unavailable puppet place error. I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly so any help would be appreciated.

Did you add:

[rts]
scriptAppDomain = 0

to your conf.ini and confs.ini?
Is there any entry in the log file?

You should add these lines to the script (insert it before the last bracket):

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

        AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(ActorName.Full(missionNumber, shortName));
        if (action != null)
        {
            action.Do();
        }
        
    }

So the triggers and actions works like expected

That was it, added the RTS scriptAppDomain and it worked like a charm. Thanks

Thank you Kodiak, Much appreciated

Thx again for your work Banks.
Is there a way to limit the player spawn?
Means as soon as a player got shot, he is out.
Or better , can I seperate playable flights from non playable?

Would that only be possible by adding AI flights by loading submissions?
