Online War - FMB scripting

[Flashman]

Hi Ataros,

Hopefully I will be a little more clear this time!

I used the in-game script system using a Trigger to cause an Action to happen. Eg in my missions if a plane I select is shot down, it triggers the spawn of another plane.

EDIT>Script

Trigger: Walrus 1= Target Group destroyed (Walrus flying boat selected)
Action: Walrus 1= Air spawn group (second walrus selected)

This system works in single player, so that when the first walrus is shot down a second spawns at a preselected place. However, when I include the scripts you guys have been developing to despawn empty aircraft (for use online) the ingame script above does not work in either single or multiplayer.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

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

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

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.

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

Checked ingame trigger system. Did not work with external scrips but it is by itself just fantastic! I think it is possible to achieve what I tried to do loading sub-missions into a mission with this trigger system only. I'll switch to it for a while from scripting as I do not know C#. Very helpful thread on this http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...builder&page=2

However we should try:

1) make a mission with internal triggers without script
2) make a mission with script that loads the first mission in.
3) load more missions when needed.
I will not have time to try this for a couple of days however ((

Alternatively you can program all the triggers in a script by hand. Check links in the 1st message of this thread for examples.

e.g.

  / / $ Reference Campaign.dll
 / / - $ Debug
 using System;
 using maddox.game;
 using maddox.game.world;

 public class Mission: maddox.game.campaign.Mission {

	 public override void OnTrigger (int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
         {
             if ("trigger". Equals (shortName) & & active)
            {
                 GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter ("Triggers trigger");
             }   
         }
 
 }

  using System;
 using maddox.game;
 using maddox.game.world;


 class Mission: maddox.game.AMission
 {
	 public override void OnActorDead (int missionNumber, string shortName, AiActor actor, System.Collections.Generic.List <DamagerScore> damages)
	 {
		 base.OnActorDead (missionNumber, shortName, actor, damages);
		 AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction ("TestAction");
		 if (action! = null)
		 {
			 action.Do ();
		 }
	 }
 }

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

    public class Mission : maddox.game.AMission
    {
        private List<AiAction> actions = new List<AiAction>();
        private int round = 1;
        private bool completed = false;
        
        public override void OnBattleStarted()
        {
            AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("startGroup2");
            if (action != null) actions.Add(action);
            action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("startGroup3");
            if (action != null) actions.Add(action);
            GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(String.Format("Раунд {0}", round));

Help !

Would you tell us what exactly you are trying to do and what does not work. Run my script it loads missions on timing more or less. Does not always destroy planes on the server however.

[mcler002]

I have pretty much copied and pasted your scripting ...

I always right click and compile to see if the script is OK, which it is ... So when ever I try and test it ... My ai bots are still flying

At the current time I am in the middle of making a new online map with less 'repeat mission' loading, and more internal triggers

But as you have posted above, I will need script for 'triggers' to flash messages on the screen about incoming planes etc ...

I shall give the above a try when I'm on my pc later!
