Organising flights in a multisquad campaign.

Forgive my panickyness......

Ok Problem, this Radars are not normal Actors, so i can't register their creation nor their destroying via script, must add TGroundDestroyed-Triggers to every radar. More unconfortable for mission-builder.

Didn't know that TGroundDestroyed is fired for "strange actors", thanks for the info, comes handy for IL2DCE.

You could parse the mission file OnBattleStart (or one of the init events before) and create a mission file that contains triggers for each radar station and then postload the trigger file (remember to set MissionNumberListener = -1. The script has to know the path to the mission file though.

Yes i could, but would

Ok added the possibility to destroy Radars so the HQ gets blind in attached sectors.
For triggers i scan the mis file for the Radarstations:

Example in the attached file. Change the MISSION_FILE variable in the cs to your needs, please.

[5./JG27.Farber]

I tested it.

Luton is the only station that picks up the bombers. I assume Luton is the station which gets bombed. It continues to function after been blown to pieces.

The other stations pick up nothing.

I altered the mission slightly. I airspawned myself in ad crashlanded near the towers.

Tab menu is disabled on killed.

[FG28_Kodiak]

Luton has two radarstations attached one for sectors A1..A3 and one for B1..B3, the Bombers destroyed this for A1..A3, so there should no informations from these sectors be available. But this is not the case?
Do you changed the MISSION_FILE variable to your needs? If it is not found there are no triggers for the Radars are generated, which are needed to register the destroying of it.
My testversion is in ..\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\RadarTest


It's normal that the mission menu is vanished after death or parachute.
