Is there any way of adding a line to prompt "end mission" at time #### ???

Also looks like we can edit aircraft here much "easier"... if you know what your doing!

NOTE - not at home to test it myself lol

                else { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Red Fighter, fight them all"); }
                break;
            case 2:
                if (aircraft.Type() == AircraftType.Bomber)
                { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Das bomber!"); }
                else { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Das jager!"); }
                break;

        }
    }

    public override void OnAircraftTookOff(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft aircraft)
    {
        base.OnAircraftTookOff(missionNumber, shortName, aircraft);

        if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() != aircraft)
            return;
        
        switch (aircraft.Army())
        {
            case 1:
                if (aircraft.Type() == AircraftType.Bomber)
                { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { GamePlay.gpPlayer() }, "Red Bomber, Bomb it all, hitler caput"); }
                else { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { GamePlay.gpPlayer() }, "Red Fighter, fight them all"); }
              break;
            case 2:
                if (aircraft.Type() == AircraftType.Bomber)
                { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { GamePlay.gpPlayer() }, "Das bomber!"); }
                else { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { GamePlay.gpPlayer() }, "Das jager!"); }
              break;

        }
    }

THis is an interesting one, just tried it! The only thing is that for me the german one says 'Das jager' even when I am in a bomber such as the Ju87 or Ju88. Is there any setting I need to apply?

[FG28_Kodiak]

Argh german language:

Das bomber! -> (singular) Der Bomber! (plural) Die Bomber!
Das jager! -> (singular) Der Jäger! (plural) Die Jäger!

Next time i fly a bombing raid over the translator.

AircraftType could be:
AmphibiousPlane
BNZFighter
Bomber
DiveBomber
Fighter
Glider
HeavyFighter
JaBo
SailPlane
Scout
Sturmovik
TNBFighter
TorpedoBomber
Transport
UNKNOWN

So if you are in a Ju87 or Ju88 there should be Bomber or DiveBomber to Show that you are in a Bomber

       if ((aircraft.Type() == AircraftType.Bomber) || (aircraft.Type() == AircraftType.DiveBomber))  // if Bomber or Divebomber
              { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { GamePlay.gpPlayer() }, "Der Bomber!"); } // show Der Bomber!
                else { GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { GamePlay.gpPlayer() }, "Der Jäger!"); } //in all other cases show Der Jäger!

I did not learn how to use triggers yet but if you paste here a complete script I am sure someone would help.

Depends on what you mean by end mission. It is like in real life when one mission is over you have another one if you are alive or if you have none you have a vacation.

I think you can shut server down with .cmd file.

[mcler002]

Well as you know we both start a mission through the script, but i want to know if we can stop it... as we had already discused :S

But as we dont know how to do this via scipt, i was woundering is we could do it through the .mis file...

[ATAG_Bliss]

Yeah, I would like to know this as well. The way the MP missions are designed are amazing (with missions able to be loaded into missions etc.) but, for instance, lets say you want an ongoing war, how are you going to stop it from going into the night?

Or could you just load a mission and make the sun appear again out of nowhere, without missing a beat, while others are playing at the same time?

More testing I guess

[Ataros]

I wish I were a part of the dev team and know all the answers

I think just like in real life you order (with a script) your units to rtb when it is getting dark. Then they have a rest till early morning.

I think you can stop mission with a script like you can stop real life: kill all units, stop time and that's it.

Quote a Dev:

Выгрузить - это сложно, миссия же может по скрипту кого-то нарожать, что-то в себя подгрузить и т.д

"To unload (a mission) - it is difficult, because a mission can give birth to something using scripts, upload smth into itself, etc."

My guess is you can switch server off, but you can not unload a mission as you can not unload life as it gives birth to smth This is not a game this is real life simulator.

Problem with exploding fuel tanks could be that other players also get damaged.

Hi Guys, im having some fun with this scripting business and have finally got a script that works, however I could do with some help with the timing commands:

I know that 1800 ticks = 1 minute but im not entirely sure what these two number cause to happen. From my script file:

if (Time.tickCounter() % 126000 == 18000)

When this counts down a mission is launched but im unsure as to the significane of the two timings:

does the 126000 give the time between each repeat operation of the operation?

I have found the second number, 18000 in this case appears to set the time for the first operation. Is this correct?

SO, if i want the operation (in this case a mission starts within themain mission and planes spawn) to repeat every 2 hours, but the first operation is 10 minutes after the main mission begins would this be correct?

if (Time.tickCounter() % 216000 == 18000)

Thanks!
