Dude, what do those numbers do?

I have noticed that the time counter isnt 100% accurate - the planes appears a couple of minutes soon than what they should... bug?

Destroys crashlanded aircraft in 5 seconds ))

public override void OnAircraftCrashLanded(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft aircraft)
    {
        base.OnAircraftCrashLanded(missionNumber, shortName, aircraft);
        Timeout(5, () =>
        {
            aircraft.Destroy();
        });
    }

Have to figure out how to use it though.

Just notes for myself on timing. Not processed by program.

if (Time.tickCounter() % 72000 == 72000) is wrong probably.

someone help me here :S
Main map starts at 05:00 - like the rest of the "sub" maps

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

public class Mission : AMission
{


    public override void OnTickGame()
    {

            if (Time.tickCounter() %  54000 == 18000)
            {
                
                GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfight/Ross/OnlineBOBb1.mis");
				GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Intel: 4x He115's, Heading for Convoy!"); 
			}
		        
            if (Time.tickCounter() %  99000 == 36000)
            {
                
                GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfight/Ross/OnlineBOBb2.mis");
				GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Intel: 8x He111's, Heading for Lympne!"); 
			}

            if (Time.tickCounter() %  108000 == 27000)
            {
                
                GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfight/Ross/OnlineBOBr1.mis");
				GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Intel: 12xBlenheim, Heading for Calais Marck!"); 
			}

    }

   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(); }
        });
    }

}

But actual results...

He 115 starts at 05:09 - 1 min fast
Blenheim starts at 05:13 - 7 min fast!!
He 111 starts at 05:18 - 3 min late?!

Whats going on :S :S :S

This will always result in FALSE. % gives you a remainder of division (Остаток от деления), so this operation will always give result greater or equal to 0 and less than divisor (assuming positive numbers).

if (Time.tickCounter() % 72000 == 0)

Will be TRUE every time tickCounter() returns multiple of 72000 (i.e. every time 72000 ticks pass, when counted from 0: 72000, 2*72000, 3*72000 and so on).

And if I want to delay the first execution by 71999 ticks it should be like follows?

if (Time.tickCounter() % 72000 == 71999)

Thanks a lot for your help.

The % is the modulus operator in C# (C, C++ and others)

You trying to blow my brains out haha?

[ZaltysZ]

Regarding ticks.

1) naryv (dev) said that 30 ticks are around 1 second. Because of that "around", you can get errors.

2) No one said that single tick always takes the same amount of time (if so, lag can screw your timing badly).

Yes. The general formula is:

if (Time.tickCounter() % A == B)

where:

A = 30 * amount second of seconds you want to repeat something
B = 30 * amount second you want to offset (delay) from beginning of mission

I suppose you want to delay something by 72000 and not by 71999 (although the difference is only 1/30s). So:

if (Time.tickCounter() % 72000 == 0 &&  Time.tickCounter()-72000==0)
