Online War - FMB scripting

Additionally checking if plane is manned before "killing" it should help with multicrew plane despawns. Bail out despawns probably will be a lot tricker.

Someone who knows C# can change it hopefully. I do not see much interest from community to this topic unfortunately. Hopefully when bugs are fixed and we have a stable dedi server things change.

Script for despawning planes without humans inside. Multicrew friendly.

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))
							{ 
								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);
        });
    }
}
}

}

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...

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.

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.
