[Tutorial] Target Pass Through Triggers Air/Scramble [wip]

OK works great, however the spawning aircraft keep spawning There must have been 50 on the ground waiting to take off.

I suspect the trigger "works" for every aircraft in a group. Had this issue in R2 mission, had to include in a script a variable TriggerOn = 1 every time trigger "worked" and then check if TriggerOn = 1 or = 0 regularly.

You can use this script to avoid this:

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;
    }
}

@Kodiak, I'm looking at the script you posted to nullify multiple spawn events:

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;
}
}

If I have at trigger to spawn 109's (called "109") and only want them to spawn once, no matter how many times I fly through the trigger zone, should It be done with your script by just putting "109" where ever (shortname) appears? Do I just write for example - public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string 109, bool active) etc or is there something to be entered for missionNumber and bool active? (possibly Amission too?) Also is it possible to do this for several triggers in one mission by just repeating the script in its entirety one after another?

Hope its no trouble to ask, I'm just learning the ropes here....

cheers

You get the triggername via shortName.
So you can check the trigger with a if clause.

OnTrigger(..) should look like:

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


        if ("109".Equals(shortName))
        {
            AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName); // if your action has an other Name than your trigger change GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName) into GamePlay.gpGetAction("ActionName")

            if (Action != null)
                Action.Do();

            GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false; // if trigger is TPassThru to avoid multiple activation

            return; // leave method to avoid second call of the Action
        }


        AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName); 

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

Thanks for the speedy reply !! I think I'm understanding it better now, will test it out soon! Can I do this over and over in the same script, to get the same effect for other triggers of the same type? eg 109 , Spit , 110 , etc.
