Online War - FMB scripting

[Macka]

And it reintroduces the stutters online which I kinda missed .....NOT!....lol. Rolled client back to 14305 will try on Matoni's OGN later.

Sample shows moving frontline and changing spawnpoints from red to blue and vice versa based on trigger (flyby above an airfield).

Can someone program a small 3 airfields battle based on it? Say a middle airfield becomes red or blue based on which tanks remain alive after taking the airfield. Then spawn new groups of tanks in say 20 minutes for a new round.

using System;
using System.Collections;

public class Mission : AMission
{
    internal class MissionMarker
    {
        internal double x;
        internal double y;
        internal int army;
        internal MissionMarker(double x, double y, int army) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.army = army; }
    }



    private MissionMarker[] MissionMarkers = new MissionMarker[]
    {   new MissionMarker(17100.80,14515.20,2),

    {
        MissionMarkers[markerNum].army = newArmy;
        foreach (AiBirthPlace bp in GamePlay.gpBirthPlaces())
        {
            if (bp != null)
                bp.destroy();

Okay. I think I've got a handle on how to create and manipulate "MissionMarkers" aka Front Markers in a script. I've attached a simple, commented example. Shoot down the bomber in front of you and the southwest airfield's front marker changes to blue.

I'm confident that if you gave me a mission with an appropriate trigger, I could move and change front markers, but I don't have much experience with the FMB. I've only created single player missions thus far. I don't know how to create an airfield where multiple players can choose an aircraft and spawn at, and I certainly don't know how to change who can spawn at an airfield in a script. Does the code you posted do this? I see mention of "BirthPlaces" in the script, but I don't see any "BirthPlaces" in the FMB.

Do you have a link to a tutorial on how to create multiplayer missions?

Hi Ataros

I'm slowly getting to grips with this

I have a script for generating sub-missions, messages etc., and want to start a later flight in the same mission to make a second later attack on a convoy in the same mission but I can't seem to set a later start time in FMB Object Viewer. There's no way to change it from the main mission start time of 12:00 (which seems a bit daft). Can I script a start time for a planned mission or perhaps a spawn, aircraft. waypoints etc? I tried to follow your moving front line and army changes but I can't see how to make it work for a new flight.
