Feature Request: Despawn AI aircraft Command

Now worries on that score, I wasn't planning on learning either, my brain isn't big enough! I learn just enough to make it appear i know what im doing when in fact I haven't a bloody clue. Mcuh like the rest of my life really....

I will have a look at using triggers and actions within the script itself as some are quite useful. I did have a mission where if one plane was shot down another would spawn... lots of potential with that one.

There is a lot to learn, but equally there is a lot we can do that is really interesting.

I will post up my next daft script and see what people think later on when im home. Cheers!

If you want to destroy aircraft loaded by submissions do not forget to include

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    //Listen to events of every (sub)mission
    public override void Init(maddox.game.ABattle battle, int missionNumber)
    {
        base.Init(battle, missionNumber);
        MissionNumberListener = -1; //Listen to events of every mission
    }

 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I made that mistake. Thanks to ZaltysZ for correcting it in my script!

How do I use this piece of script, do I just copy and paste it into mt script or do I need to make any changes?

@ Flashman
Just copy and past anywhere you like. You can always check out my recent script in Online Missions go here thread.


@all
It seems like this script I use does not destroy ships loaded by a submission. Other ground units are destroyed as intended. What can be wrong? IIRC ships belong to AiGroundActor

    //Ground objects (except AA Guns) will die after 55 min when counted from their birth

    public override void OnActorCreated(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiActor actor)
    {
        base.OnActorCreated(missionNumber, shortName, actor);
        //Ground objects (except AA Guns) will die after 55 min when counted from their birth
        if (actor is AiGroundActor)
            if ((actor as AiGroundActor).Type() != maddox.game.world.AiGroundActorType.AAGun)
                Timeout(3300, () =>
                {
                    if (actor != null)
                    { (actor as AiGroundActor).Destroy(); }
                }
                        );
    }

I think you got lucky guys....
(I can only think because I do not undestand the language you write in this thread... )

From the Hotfix:

MULTIPLAYER
Improved server and client stability and performance;
Improved statistics;
Improved user interface;
Made parked planes disappear after a certain period of time so as not to clutter the airfields;
Fixed phantom crewmembers occasionally appearing in place of dropped planes;
Made sure airborne planes are created with sufficient airspeed in online games (born speed now tied to the plane's top speed);
Conversion settings should properly synchronize between all players;
Fixed the weapon selection grid in online games requiring an extra click to save;
Made sure all players see the same time of day in an online server.

Confirmed, the script does not destroy ships. What can be the reason?
This is what happens in 3-4 hours after starting a mission.

Somehow game does not see ships as AiGroundActor. Ask naryv about this.

Looks like the script we are running on Repka and Syndicate is not 100% compatible with multicrew aircraft.

Can someone help to change the code in order not to damage engines and controls if a player remains inside an aircraft and only changes his position to gunner or navigator?
