[QUE] Using scripting for "special effects"

[Ataros]

Most of what you mentioned can be achieved with a more simple script: trigger set to a certain condition (AT guns destroyed) loads a submission which contains required action (tanks spawn and attack).

4000+ lines scripts are more similar to dynamic war generators than to a single mission script.

E.g. Operation SeaLion mission with generation of sea convoys and landing parties, airfield capture, basic resource management, aircraft limitation, vulch protection, etc. is about 3000 lines.

Interesting. Some of the SEOW afficionados in IL-2 have prompted me to visit here again. It is good to see people being creative with the C# API and building wonderful things for CoD.

A question, are the dynamic campaign generators all "in-game" scripts? Or are people interfacing them with external applications, e.g. databases, web services, SMS etc? People regularly ask me to develop a SEOW-like add-on for CoD, and I am just trying to gather basic architectural information at the moment.

Maybe someone else is already developing a full-featured strategic campaign environment for CoD?

You have access to the .Net-Api, so it's no problem to integrate a database for example.

Does anyone know if you can send UDP datagrams?

it's several(many) levels above my scripting competance to even think about getting the data written into a format it can be queried by the client (we are talking udpspeed /devicelink i presume)
