Online War - FMB scripting

[ZaltysZ]

I am not sure it is possible to overload ABattle without creating your own add-in.

Hm just try and error and see what happen, ABattle has mostly the same methods than AMission. The only examples i know are from the campaign directory and are only single missions.
I wish there where a documentation about scripting.

    public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)

         	_DespawnEmptyPlane(actor);
        });
    }
}
}

No457_Mako & myself tweaked this code so that the server is included in the workings. The Server isn't listed in the GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() array.

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

public class  Mission : AMission
{
	public void _DespawnEmptyPlane(AiActor actor)
	{
		if (actor == null)
			return;
		Player[] Players = GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers();
		bool PlaneIsEmpty = true;
		foreach (Player i in Players) {
			if (((i.Place() as AiAircraft) == (actor as AiAircraft)) || ((GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() as AiAircraft) == (actor as AiAircraft))) {
				PlaneIsEmpty = false;
				break;
			}
		}
		if (PlaneIsEmpty) {
			(actor as AiAircraft).Destroy();
		}
	}

    public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex) {
		base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);
		Timeout(1, () => {
			_DespawnEmptyPlane(actor);
		});
    }
}

HI Squoag,

I tried your version in nthe post above and it despawned the plane if I changed from pilot to a gunners position.

I tested this on my own 'server' and in single player. Obviously in MP this would not be desireable!

Hi Flashman,

Are you 100% sure that you used the second code block in my post and not the first? What you're seeing is very symptomatic of the first code block in my post. I put it there as a before/after for the original author but perhaps I should mark it more clearly...

Will test on Australian Skies tomorrow

EDIT: This works for me, thanks No457_Mako & No457_Squog, has helped with server stability. Ran 3 maps no worries, we were having issues with loading new maps before this

Worked with Position swap ONLINE in the bf 110 as well.

Hi Sqouag,

Im pretty sure I tried both but truth be told you have me wondering now.... I will try this again when I get the time and see if it works for me.

Please note: i tried this on my own 'server' not on the Syndicate server.

Script to destroy actors in a mission (e.g. before loading new one to server).

This kills mission (or submission) own actors. To kill all actors 'living' on a server (e.g. loaded by other missions) remove the lines put in blue color.

foreach (int army in GamePlay.gpArmies())
            {
                foreach (AiAirGroup group in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army))
                {
                    if (ActorName.MissionNumber(group.Name()).Equals(MissionNumber))
                    {
                        AiActor[] members = group.GetItems();
                        for (int i = members.Length - 1; i > -1; i--)
                        {
                            (members[i] as AiAircraft).Destroy();
                        }
                    }
                }
                foreach (AiGroundGroup group in GamePlay.gpGroundGroups(army))
                {
                    if (ActorName.MissionNumber(group.Name()).Equals(MissionNumber))
                    {
                        AiActor[] members = group.GetItems();
                        for (int i = members.Length - 1; i > -1; i--)
                        {
                            (members[i] as AiGroundActor).Destroy();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Should solve "actor not destroyed" problem.

May need some testing and fine-tuning.

Phew its not just our server then, I rolled back to Beta 1 and the scripts work again.
