Wrecking Crew

Try the Alarm State to Green. Post the mission and I'll take a look. Ahh - except if you are on v1.5... I don't have that yet, not until it is released. WC

Set their ROE to Hold. WC

:D

Let's see, server costs, ummm, $2500, monthly Internet is $65. NTTR one time cost for $60-70? Don't forget beer and pretzels, too. :)

Try an MTLB or a BTR-RD instead. Or a Bowman or BMD-1. These are good adversaries for Hueys. WC PS Maybe they think you are bringing the mail!

my bad, CrC, for not looking at the link. Thanks for that. WC

Does a lake have a different value than the ocean? ie. can't place ships on a lake... how is that determined? WC

Feet wet! This will replace five huge zones. WC

Can a script be a solution to detect an aircraft over water? What would this script look like? :-) TIA! WC

You could turn on Flag 1 and have another event (Continuous?) that increments this Flag 1 -- that will run every second and should provide an elapsed time indication. About a quarter way down in the WC's mist examples doc there is this that uses a timer -- --- old way local units = mist.makeUnitTable({'RDR AGrp01-1'}) local flag = 10117 local zones = {'Gudauta Zone'} local zone_type = 'cylinder' local function unitsInZonesOnOff(result) local ret = mist.getUnitsInZones(units, zones, zone_type) if #ret == 0 and result == true then trigger.action.setUserFlag(flag, 0) result = false elseif #ret > 0 and result == false then trigger.action.setUserFlag(flag, 1) result = true end mist.scheduleFunction (unitsInZonesOnOff, {result}, timer.getTime() + 1) end unitsInZonesOnOff(false) --- ^^^ old way I'm not an expert on this stuff... but I hope this helps. WC

Hi whitehot, If you go to my WC Projects site and to the Mission Resources page, look at the file called WC's Flags.. At the bottom is a method to display flag values in text. Another doc there is WC's mist examples. That has a lot of sample scripts that might help you get started. Also check out the Mist guide pdf. WC

Hi guys, I plan to wait till after the new year for Win10. Heck, I'm still on DCS v1.2 -- but that's for the Mudspike Fly-In this w/e. There will be some 1.5 servers -- but don't know if any of the servers are on Win 10. WC

Here's another... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=137307 :-)

You need to set the two with Advanced Waypoint Action at the SP. WC

Thanks, that function is new to me. I'm still on v1.2, so when I opened your saved mission the arguments in the events were unreadable. I'll get v1.5 this week... WC

You are welcome -- glad it is working! AG, what other corrections did you make? I looked at it in v1.2 but the events are messed up in that old version after a save in the new 1.5. WC

Sure. Add a Mission Start event, Random Flag 4, Min 1 Max 4. Then base four events on that Flag 4, for values 1-4. WC

Put Alarm State to Red and ROE to Hold Fire. WC

For Combined Arms control of aircraft, add an Orbit to the list of aircraft formations. WC

This has the {} like -- msgFor = { blue } WC

Hi, AG, What pointed you to this -- "It looks like mist is expecting a table for the 'msgFor' variable" This is what's in use -- mist.msgMGRS{ units = { "R1", "R1_1", "R1_2", "R1_3", "R1_4", "R1_5" }, acc = 6, displayTime = 40, msgFor = blue, text = "Pontiac, UZI, We have spotted a large convoy south of Novopavlovsk heading our way. Go destroy them! ", } I'll try your suggestion. Blooze -- I'll update and post it here in a bit. WC

I like your handle. :)

It is easy enough to add a Radio command that the Pilot can activate that will get the result you want. I don't know the answer to your question, though. I might do this -- When the pilot enters a zone around the target, Message to the Pilot to start looking, and include"Use Radio F10 menu to notify your flight that the target is spotted." You could repeat this broadcast every few minutes while the Pilot is in this zone, up until the Pilot use the Radio F10. Then the Pilot use Radio F10 to report in. Another way is to make a very small spherical zone over the target and tell the Pilot they have to get within x distance. WC

In a multiplayer mission designed with CA in mind, the CA players can really change the play, and win the mission if the logic for it is included. In a JTAC slot I can drive to a location and call up the rest of my group to join me. Using terrain we'll close on the enemy and you can watch the action from my vehicle or go to F10 View and let the AI duke it out. You can spot and call in targets for aircraft, and designate with smoke, flares and IR, as well as give coordinates. A Tactical Commander can control whole groups and set ROE and Alarm State, get artillery to fire on targets and control aircraft. And you can do anything a JTAC can do. It is a blast to get in a Red air defense unit and take shots at Blue a/c. Then go silent and hide in the trees and watch them try to find you. :pilotfly: WC

Hi, baltic_dragon, Yes, you can go to a free camera from a ground unit with LAlt-F11. Then you can zoom around and get way up high pretty fast with the mouse wheel. Takes a bit getting used to, but you'll be able to move around and stop when and where you want. WC
