[Tutorial] Simple Scripting Lessons - Preparations

[SG1_Lud]

Hi Kodiak, first of all many thanks for your presentation and introduction.


I have some questions, sorry if it is too basic but I am starting to learn.

Where can I know the definition of the object type ISectionFile, I mean, all the fields that contains the different data fos setting up the new actor?

My second question, the list of groups like BoB_LW_StG2_II.03?

and finally, the list of callsigns associated to their codes (in the case above, was 30)?

S!

Make a little Mission, then open the mis file, there are all informations you need:

for example in mis file:
[AirGroups]
BoB_LW_KG3_I.01
[BoB_LW_KG3_I.01]
Flight0 1
Class Aircraft.He-111H-2
Formation LINEABREAST
CallSign 26
Fuel 100
Weapons 1
SetOnPark 1
Idle 1
Skill 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3
[BoB_LW_KG3_I.01_Way]
TAKEOFF 40064.00 20458.26 0 0

internal ISectionFile CreateNewPlaneAtAirfield()
{
ISectionFile f = GamePlay.gpCreateSectionFile();

f.add("AirGroups", "BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Flight0", "1");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Class", "Aircraft.He-111H-2");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Formation", "LINEABREAST");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "CallSign", "30");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Fuel", "100");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Weapons", "1");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "SetOnPark", "1");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Idle", "1");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01", "Skill", "0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3");
f.add("BoB_LW_KG3_I.01_Way", "TAKEOFF", "298417.47 127327.45 0 0");

return f;
}

My second question, the list of groups like BoB_LW_StG2_II.03?

Don't know if there is a list of all Airgroups available, simplest solution create a mission with all Airgroups you need, then open the mis file.

and finally, the list of callsigns associated to their codes (in the case above, was 30)?

Callsigns are available from 0-35 (german, italian beginning with Adler, english with Acorn) but don't think there is a complete list present, never needed one

@Kodiak
Great thread for me to learn how to make improved missions, thank you!...looking forward to the next lesson, I can't seem to get the basics. For example you can't paste in fmb, the script examples given in the other threads?...

edit:
Okay found Ataros wonderful guide and I am understanding better the how to. The "start airgroup engines" works great!
