is there a way to get currenly loaded pods from lua?
d0ppler replied to uri_ba's topic in Mission Editor
Do we have any updates on this? I want to check if a unit has a travel pod installed, but unit:getAmmo() still only returns weapons. -
Ah! I haven't flown in VR for a while, and didn't think of that. Let's hope they will improve the VR implementation within some reasonable time...

At least for the Viper, you can toggle it on/off. I bet you can for the hornet as well

Single Players: What would win you over to a multiplayer server?
d0ppler replied to Dangerzone's topic in DCS 2.9
The two most important aspects which makes SP best for me is 1. Time acceleration 2. Ability to pause the game (when someone in my family needs my attention ASAP) -
F-16C inputting coordinate in Mark changes to totally different map grid
d0ppler replied to Mac D's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I've done literally more than 200 unit kills with the built in JTAC/AFAC feature and MGRS coordinates the last week due to testing of my new campaign and haven't had any problems with it. A track file would be appriciated, @Gilligan, to see if there's anything you do wrong -

There are free, public map apps for your phone which will give you mgrs coordinates -
Well, that's exactly what I am doing. If you read the original post..

Polar Shield - Free Viper campaign for the Kola map

22 OCT 2025 - FINALLY fixed a sneaky bug in the shooting handler. - Added more targets for Pinpoint Strike. 28 in total -
This is awesome! https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/ukraines-zelenskiy-visit-sweden-wednesday-defence-talks-2025-10-22/

I believe it uses a tiny bit less of cpu resources rather than check the actual value itself.
-
The error was the standard "nil" value error I'm using ".", not ":" to test this. event.initiator.getName I think it's correct to not use "()", or? Yes, its for polar shield
-
Thanks, Draken35! I've now changed it (once more) to: shootingHandler = {} function shootingHandler:onEvent(event) if event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_HIT then if event.target.getCoalition and event.initiator then local a = "" pcall(function() if event.initiator and event.initiator.getName then a = event.initiator:getName() end end) end end end world.addEventHandler(shootingHandler)
-
Lets hope for some Kola love!
-
I've changed the script to if event.target.getCoalition and event.initiator:getName() then And so far it works (like it used to do). Lets hope this little tweak irons out the potential bug
-
On some very rare occasions, I get error in my script, when trying event.initiator:getName(), though I test event.initiator for nil before I try to get its name. Does this mean that event.initiator doesn't necessary have the getName() function? The problem is that it's hard to replicate, since it almost NEVER occurs, only occasionally. Is there any safer way around this, to avoid this error? shootingHandler = {} function shootingHandler:onEvent(event) if event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_HIT then if event.target.getCoalition and event.initiator then local a = event.initiator:getName() -- here is where it breaks, since getName() on rare occasions returns nil end end end world.addEventHandler(shootingHandler) Should I test for event.initiator:getName() rather than event.initiator ?
-
Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by having a group at the top? The group with the lowest UNIT ID?
-
Allrighty then. I'll post a bug about not being able to do TGP fix with area track then. But the trk file will be awfully long in order to achieve drift.
-
I totally agree, nevertheless, it doesn't work for me when I try to do a FIX if the TGP has an area track.
-
Well, at least when I test this, I can't fix the delta if my TGP has an area track, only point track. But I may doing something wrong, though.
