[Tutorial] Target Pass Through Triggers Air/Scramble [wip]

[Pato Salvaje]

Thank you very much sir. Great tutorial. Keep it coming.
I have to test if a group with "script spawn C" selected can be flight by a human pilot...
And if this group can have only a "takeoff waypoint"...

OK works great, however the spawning aircraft keep spawning There must have been 50 on the ground waiting to take off.

I suspect the trigger "works" for every aircraft in a group. Had this issue in R2 mission, had to include in a script a variable TriggerOn = 1 every time trigger "worked" and then check if TriggerOn = 1 or = 0 regularly.

You can use this script to avoid this:

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


public class Mission : AMission
{

    public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
    {
        base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

        AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName);

        if (Action != null)
            Action.Do();
        
        GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
    }
}

@Kodiak, I'm looking at the script you posted to nullify multiple spawn events:

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


public class Mission : AMission
{

public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
{
base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName);

if (Action != null)
Action.Do();

GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
}
}

If I have at trigger to spawn 109's (called "109") and only want them to spawn once, no matter how many times I fly through the trigger zone, should It be done with your script by just putting "109" where ever (shortname) appears? Do I just write for example - public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string 109, bool active) etc or is there something to be entered for missionNumber and bool active? (possibly Amission too?) Also is it possible to do this for several triggers in one mission by just repeating the script in its entirety one after another?

Hope its no trouble to ask, I'm just learning the ropes here....

cheers

You get the triggername via shortName.
So you can check the trigger with a if clause.

OnTrigger(..) should look like:

   public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
    {
        base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);


        if ("109".Equals(shortName))
        {
            AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName); // if your action has an other Name than your trigger change GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName) into GamePlay.gpGetAction("ActionName")

            if (Action != null)
                Action.Do();

            GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false; // if trigger is TPassThru to avoid multiple activation

            return; // leave method to avoid second call of the Action
        }


        AiAction Action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(shortName); 

        if (Action != null)
            Action.Do();
        GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
        
    }
