while i am fine from a personal use standpoint with Simple Slot Block, i can't for something that would end product be the first MP campaign availble via the DCS product store. I am also aware it may not be possible with the current system in place without just making it a required Mod such as an airframe or asset pack would be so i haven't quite worked out how end goal to implement it feesably but i need to tackle the slot blocking from with the enviroment else someone would have to install a 3rd party script hook that I don't belive is feesable for commercial (bought on product store) enviroment

ok so while i am skilled and knowledgable i am not that familiar with DCS code,functions, and classes from a scripting point of view outside basic stuff. So the birth event how would that look? i tried the checking if unit is alive or dead switched conditions and using deactivate with some success in SP and limited success in MP and not functioning at all on a dedicated server. So essentially there is no way natively within the Mission editor only reactively within mission enviorment but still requires some advaced scripting and understanding the net.force_player() which I am unfamiliar with as to where to even begin throwing something together for that. Thanks for the response btw!

in hindsight there is now natively a lock seat function in the Mission editor that does exactly what the topic was about lol

for context of the end goal I am working on a multiplayer campaign in which i have client slots i need to block until x trigger or condition is met. While SSB is the go to for normal stuff like that it also requures dedicated servers to HAVE to have the SBB hook script installed. I have tried several methods of disabling unit ect ect and while that works fine on a SP mission or MP non dedicated server..... it does not work on a dedicated server. for the end goal of the project i have to have it be natively implemented in the mission without the use of SSB Main reasons to block hot starts until 30 minutes after the mission start for 1 ..... and for 2 to block slots at an airfield until said airfield is captured. Has anyone figured out a way to do so WITHOUT SimpleSlotBlock scripts that require the hook on the dedicated server?

it is and i finally stumbled acrossed a fix right after typing this lol so i had to literally rename my install folder to xxxx-tmp .... run the open beta installer and exit it ..... delete the created folder and rename my actual folder back to original for it to actually see the damn install path..... got it working now lol ran the return list_cockpit_params() and got the readout .... found SEAT:1.00000000\ which was the 1 you must have found and now trying to find out where to see who has flight control so i can block that as well if needbe for something lol

Well i cannot for the life of me get DCS-BIOS to work as it refuses to install or create the Scripts\DCS-BIOS folder and lua's no matter what i do....... i can connect to Virtual Cockpit and load the Lua Console in systray but can't actually connect it to dcs. Not to metion i can;t seem to find a copy of them anywhere or even find a solution as to why it won't create them or how to fix it period. All for the sake of tryign to get the Cockpit Paramaters list and Indicators list lol....... spent all day and all night trying. Well regardless i really do appreciate all your help and response to at least get me the info you have. THANK YOU!

Gotcha so in otherwords i would have to install the dcs bios and scripts to see that info output through the web console and run something like return list_cockpit_params() to see whats currently in use right?

out of curiosity i found the 1602 in adjust controls when I set the MissonEditor.lua to show all but where did you find the Cockpit Paramater for SEAT? as i couldn't find it in the clickabledata.lua Reason i ask is trying to also find the paramater for Flight Control to disable the CPG from taking control of the aircraft flight unless the pilot is dead and also so i don't have to keep asking around and can find the stuff i need on my own lol

once again THANK YOU! so for my own notes i wasn't using the listen for command wrong it was just something in the dcs coding that wouldn't allow it right?

Not sure if there is a way but i am sure there is some way to work around it. I need a way to disable seat switching from pilot to cpg or vice versa for some specific mission stuff for single player campaign i am working on. I have already with help of another person got a method to start a player out in the correct seat ie: start as cpg, but i need to either idealy disable seat switching back to the pilot seat for the mission or a way to tell if a player switched or presses 1 then switch them immedietly back to CPG ( less deseriable option but could work) So far i have tried listening for the command (1602) and it is not firing the trigger but i may have it set up wrong as I am not sure if I fully understand the listen for command function.

Ahhhh thank you works like a charm..... now to figure out how to stop a player from switching back to the pilot seat or switching to the cpg seat if they are in the pilot seat lol. For context it's for setting a specific role for a couple different SP missions i am making for a campaign. IE: training in the "bag" don't want a player swtiching to cpg to cheat or training in the CPG seat i don't want a player cheating switching to pilot and using george to target kinda thing. Still trying to figure out how the X:start listen for command works as my original idea was set to cpg then listen for the command to switch seats and auto swtich them back to the cpg unless i can find a way to disable switching all together after they are put in the cpg seat

That doesn't seem to work for me. and i have been pulling my hair out trying to find the right command....... also your test.miz doesn't work for me either.... spawn in pilot seat and stay in pilot seat

it's already available sir.

i missed this due to work and was wondering if it is ever going to be available again

it's not a problem of the keybind to open it , it opens but doesn't show anything or pop up. just a blank window that is minimized. as I said before deleting the config file fixes it till i restart voicxeattack but i have to put all the config settings back in. I would delete all the files and do a complete fresh install but my dcs path is not in the default location and I don't know what files to delete from my dcs folder for vaicomm
