Script limiting aircraft types (including multilingual messages)

[FG28_Kodiak]

Will take a look at it.

Short answers:

 public static string SubMissionsPath = @"missions\Multi\Dogfight\r_steppe\subs\";
    // is @ necessary here? did not use it in other missions.

With @ at the beginning you must not write \\ every time. The \ is a special character in C# (C, C++) and normaly for escape sequences \n newline for example. If you want to use \ in your string you must write \\ and to avoid the double use you can set a @ at the beginning of your string so \ is a normal character.

// what does this block do?
        public Mis(string Filename, string misType, int Lengh) // should I include all the above variables here?      
        {
            this.Missionfilename = Filename;  // You use mi.Missionfilename instead of mi.Filename in your example when load missions. Why?
            this.MissionLengh = Lengh;
            this.MissionType = misType;
            this.TrgWasTriggered = wasTriggered;
        }

this is a constructor of the class (you can also use more of them overloaded). It's usefull if you like to initialize more variables or making calculations etc.

So i can use

    public List<Mis> MissionPool = new List<Mis>()
    {
        new Mis ("Mission1.mis",SubMissionsPath ,1000.0),
        new Mis ("Mission2.mis",SubMissionsPath ,1000.0),
    };

to create several entries at one time.

// You use mi.Missionfilename instead of mi.Filename in your example when load missions. Why?
I use the public method Missionfilename to get access to the variable in the object. Filename is only used in the constructor to give the value to the variable Missionfilename.

More to come, must take a deeper look at it, but no time at the moment.
But it seems you think a bit too complicated

Does it mean I can initialize variables in this block, replacing e.g. Length with a value I want to assign?
this.MissionLengh = 30;

Ah, it looks like the only purpose of it is to allow data input like here:

  public List<Mis> MissionPool = new List<Mis>()
    {
        new Mis ("Mission1.mis",SubMissionsPath ,1000.0),
        new Mis ("Mission2.mis",SubMissionsPath ,1000.0),
    };

So when I create a new Mis I can enter data there from e.g. parsed filename in one line only, not having to use 3 lines like
mi.Missionfilename = ...;
mi.SubMissionsPath = ...;
mi.MissionLengh = ...;

Instead after parsing a file name I can:

string[] MisParams;
MisParams = (mi.Missionfilename).Split('_');

Mis mi = new Mis (MisParams[1], MisParams[2],MisParams[3]);

Thanks a lot!

first sorry for bumping an old thread.

im facing an issue implementing a "similar" (based) on this method script.

my issue is, with multi-sit aircriaft. when you spawn in one of those and change seats with will result in decrease of 1 to the pool by each seat.


much of the following CODE is not mine (around 90%) so no credit for it. Credit goes for Ataros, Kodiak, and some other guys, i cant recall everyone i steal from

You can check if a player is already in a plane

public override void OnPlaceEnter(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
    {
        base.OnPlaceEnter(player, actor, placeIndex);

        int playercount = 0;
        
        if (actor != null && actor is AiAircraft)
        {
            AiAircraft aircraft = actor as AiAircraft;

            for (int i = 0; i < aircraft.Places(); i++)
            {
                if (aircraft.Player(i) != null)
                {
                    if (aircraft.Player(i) == player) playercount++;
                }
            }
        }


        if (playercount == 1) ..

    }

A Player can have two places in an aircraft (PlacePrimary() and PlaceSecondary()) so if playercount is > 1 (2 ) the player has changed his place in the aircraft.


or you check PlaceSecondary, PlaceSecondary is -1 if a player is 'new' in a plane, if not new PlaceSecondary gets the value of the last secondary place.

 if (player.PlaceSecondary() != -1)
            ..

A bit unrelated to the actual discussion, but what you say about primary and secondary places confirms my observations about AI gunners.

We all know that if you switch to a gunner position the AI no longer mans the turret. Flying a Blenheim on ATAG one night, i happened to find out completely by chance that if your aircraft has a bombardier position you can give back gun control to the AI: simply cycle between pilot and bombardier once and your gunners will revert to AI control.

This was also reflected on the net stats overlay, where next to my nickname i could see "pilot, gunner" initially and "pilot, bombardier" after cycling positions.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions

[pupo162]

thank you!

Worked like a charm!

Hi, still on the same topic, yet a differente type of code, im tryign to get a submenu to have an option to refly.

code

public override void OnOrderMissionMenuSelected(Player player, int ID, int menuItemIndex)
{
base.OnOrderMissionMenuSelected(player, ID, menuItemIndex);

if (player != null)
{
if (menuItemIndex == 1)
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Red - {0} blue - {1}", new object[] { redscore, bluescore });

}
if (menuItemIndex == 2)
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Ainda nao funciona");
}
if (menuItemIndex == 3)
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "You will refly in 5 seconds!");
Timeout(20, () =>
{ destroyPlane(aircraft); });
}
}
}

The clear problem is, aircraft used in destroy plane, does not exist i nthis function, pnly player. how do i get over this?

sorry, but im really noob in C#

[FG28_Kodiak]

you get the Aircraft via player.Place()

if (player.Place() != null && player.Place() is AiAircraft)
{
        AiAircraft aircraft = player.Place() as AiAircraft;

        
}
