[Thee_oddball]

doghouse i just loaded your map (nice job ) and spawned in one plane and then spawned another one and first one was gone I tried doing the same to one of my maps by adding the script below after hiting save in FMD it generated a .cs file of the same map name ...but the destroying of empty plyer planes did not work can you tell me what i did wrong? thnx

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

public class Mission : AMission
{


public override void OnTickGame()
{
{
if (Time.tickCounter() % 1200 == 0)
{

GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions\Multi\Dogfigh t\basic40c.mis");
}
}
}

public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
{
base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);
Timeout(1, () =>
{
AiAircraft CurAircraft = player.Place() as AiAircraft;
AiAircraft PrevAircraft = actor as AiAircraft;
if (CurAircraft != PrevAircraft)
{ (actor as AiAircraft).Destroy(); }
});
}

}

With that mission, I take it the sub-mission didn't load.

The issue is with void OnTickGame().

You used back-slash instead of forward-slash. The syntax error would in this instance prevented the rest of the script to run.

So with the changes below, it will work.



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

public class Mission : AMission
{


public override void OnTickGame()
{
if (Time.tickCounter() % 1200 == 0)
{

GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfigh t/basic40c.mis");
}
}


public override void OnPlaceLeave(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
{
base.OnPlaceLeave(player, actor, placeIndex);
Timeout(1, () =>
{
AiAircraft CurAircraft = player.Place() as AiAircraft;
AiAircraft PrevAircraft = actor as AiAircraft;
if (CurAircraft != PrevAircraft)
{ (actor as AiAircraft).Destroy(); }
});
}

}

Guys,

where do you get all this info from, settings, scripting (and should it be necessary?) etc

Anyway, anything I can find to help me build missions would be good. A community self-help manual Sticky??

Small collection here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21518

Manual from developers is not ready yet. You can start now with learning some C# basics I think.

Ataros I truly appreciate the reply but I don't intend to learn C# to create missions. That link you sent me scared the a$$ off me! I may have many years of VB behind me but I wouldn't expect to use even that to create missions.

I suppose I was curious to know just how you fell over those files and know what to do with them, like perhaps I had missed a manual, but what I was really looking for was clues on how to use the much changed FMB graphical interface and where are the facilities you are programmimg in but you seem to have found some extra tweaks outside FMB and we could use them in it. If the devs expect us to start using C# programming I think there'll be a lynching party.

Good luck to you though If I have a change of heart and the time I'll look again at that link.

Thanks again.

When manuals are available people create a lot of scripts that you can just copy and paste to your missions. I do not know anything about C# myself yet but can open a script file with notepad and use copy-paste ))

I think you are acquainted with FMB but for those who is not this is a link to start http://www.il2-fullmissionbuilder.com/index.php

Attached is a Battle of France mission with scheduled shipping convoys (basic ones) and bombing runs.

Red airfields are located in France for quick action.

Script included in the mission loads 3 sub-missions into the main mission.

Put the whole 128BoF folder into your \missions\Multi\Dogfight directory. Run 128BoFv1_6.mis

Sometimes aircrafts explode on spawn. Please let me know how to fix it if you have this information.

You may try the mission on Repka server tonight and tomorrow hopefully.
Feel free to use and modify.

Ive got the script to work... but no aircraft appear... (i have 6 spitfires loaded on the map)...

And can someone explain the tick counter and how to "work it"

Cheers

Check that path is correct and open doghous3 or my example to add a line printing smth on screen to confirm that mission is loaded.

30 tics a second give you 1800 tics per minute.

if (Time.tickCounter() % 1200 == 0)

1200 - is cycle here
0 - is initial delay before running script.

I'd suggest taking doghous3 script to start with and just change filenames in it to avoid simple mistakes. This is what I did with his mission.
