trigger points and spawning

[smokincrater]

Posted zip file!!

Tried renaming triggers and actions but did not work. Thank you also for this.

Hi smokin,

Just had a quick look at this through the notepad. What are you trying to do with the passthroughs? Are you wanting to spawn certain planes if a particular air/ground group goes through the passthrough area?

Corrected:
By spawning Airgroups you should activate "only Script spawn" in their options.

You use passthroughs-Triggers, there is a problem the are activated two times on enter and on leave. To avoid the second activation, you should deaktivate the trigger via script.
Sometimes if a Group is not spawning, it helps to select it again in the action-options.


So i've added a little script:

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


public class Mission : AMission
{

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

        AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName);

        if (Action != null)
            Action.Do();
        
        GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
    }
}

Tested the Mission, now it should work.

Hi Kodiak,

does the script you just put here avoid a further activation of a passthrough trigger ?
I've been looking for one since I made a small mission weeks ago and couldn't find a way to spawn an air group only once, as another was spawned everytime the condition was met again (in that case red planes flying through it).

Thx !

[FG28_Kodiak]

Yes.

I deactivate it with
GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
so it is not activated a second time.

Great, thank you very much !!

Thank you, very much Kodiak. Now i can get on with planning some missions. By the way can you link groups of bombers together to create a guppe? Also is there a glossary or tutorial for scripting?

Atag, the first problem was that i could not get the aircraft actioned when the lead group hit the trigger pont.

Hi Kodiak,

I downloaded your Spawning.zip but can’t see what it brings about. I loaded Bf110.mis and flew the Bf110 to the SpawnArea (near Fruges) but nothing happened. Can you help please?

[FG28_Kodiak]

Can you show me your mission, please?
May be you use a wrong trigger, but difficult to say without the mission.

Hi Kodiak,
I downloaded the mission + submissions and send them to you as requested. As a matter of fact they are the same as you attached as Spawning.zip in your answer to Atag Bliss a few days ago but with a slight difference. What I did was starting the Bf110 and flew to Fruges through the SpawnArea but nothing was spawned . What can be achieved with these missions? How can one make them work?
