Moving frontline and capturing airfields script sample

[Ataros]

Here is a sample script from a member of the dev team.

Script does the following:
- reads frontline markers from the main mission file
- creates spawns at each airfield of the map depending on side
- creates 2 triggers at each frontline marker for ground group passthrough (for both sides)
- checks if enemy ground group gets to the trigger and
then based on trigger:
- changes marker side and as a result moving frontline
- destroys remaining enemy units near marker to prevent immediate recapture (not working sometimes)
- changes airfields side and planeset if they are left behind frontline
- changes score
- loads defending and attacking submissions.

To understand the principals of naming submissions please study this mission carefully: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=133
It uses an earlier version of this script.

Now everything a mission maker has to do is select several frontmarkers and create submissions spawning ground groups attacking these markers. The rest is done automatically.
To find out the number of a marker I plan to attack I place a camera unit on top of the frontline marker, save and then open the mission file in notepad to compare camera coordinates with markers coordinates. Devs mentioned that marker numbers will be shown in FMB in the future.

There is a known bug that prevents players to spawn at captured airfields. Devs will try to fix it by next patch so get your missions ready )

The script is attached as a .txt file.

Thanks!

May be it's possible for you to ask the dev about Addin development for CoD? A Piece of Sample Code would be very helpfull

[Ataros]

Some guys at sukhoi.ru came to conclusion that there is a chance that interfaces for addins are not finished yet. The good news is that they found many of them )

If you can explain in detail for what to ask in particular I may try to ask. However I have no idea of what piece of code can be helpful. Thus you have to explain it to me first or I can mess up the translation ))

Can you please ask him, if it's possible to modify the Multiplayer Plane Selection Menu.

So its possible to select a Airfield on the left side and then show a list of the available Planes (park spawn and idle) on the right, where a Player can choose one.
At the moment it's only possible if you scroll in and select the plane icon (if in Game Icons are on).

[Ataros]

I am sure it is possible.

Do you mean you are prepared and ready to write this interface mod/Addin if he explains how to switch it on and connect it to the game?

[FG28_Kodiak]

I think so
