too many craters I think was the reply to what that was

open beta is most popular, the release version lags a fair bit behind

@Grimes I noticed the example code on that page is wrong local u = Unit.getByName('whoopwhoop') if u:getDrawArgumentValue(43) == 1 then -- left gunner door open else -- left gunner door closed end

@Grimes thanks for taking the time to reply, would it be possible for you to please add this as a feature request to ED ?

@Grimes https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_getDrawArgumentValue is there a corresponding set value command in the scripting engine? I was wanting to trigger the cargo doors opening of a mi-8 from a script, is this even possible ?

this would be a nice feature, Currently I use a batch file that gives multiple options on how to start DCS and which config to use

some dimensions available here http://www.havoc-company.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1386&p=9242#p9242

thanks

Yes it is a feature added in 2.5.6 I tested it out using 2.7 DCS World

https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Simulator_Scripting_Engine_Documentation

ah ok , you not have drop box of google drive or some other file sharing facility ?

you best post the mission and maybe we can help you fix it

I observed some weird behavior when looking at F10 Map in multiplayer, shapes were drawn on the F10 map but weird stuff started to happen when zooming in and out , they were not being scaled properly video showing what is happening

ok I took a stab at updating it to use new clouds (see first post) there is also a new feature with the date, there are still presets available but I have also added a parameter of new eg dcs_weather.py D:\DCS_Missions\Weapons_Training_v2.11.2.miz KLAS UGSS new ^ use 2 airports and use the current month BUT pick the night with a FULL MOON this was designed for our use we run the server for 6 hours at a time before restarts, so you get about 4hours of evening as it gets darker then 2 hours of dark with a full moon see the read me for more info see how it runs for you I have done some basic testing ............

It is being worked on to use the new clouds presets based on how the METAR data comes back with cloud info

Until this is implemented, if you want to quickly test out code in a fast way without wasting time check out this tutorial ^ Use this to test out your scripts, then when it is all working just move the code into a doscript trigger

If we could get the functionality I requested in this thread added, we could do some really cool stuff with dynamic fires in DCS fire fighting missions

I would like the ability to both create (which we can with trigger command) - but it does not return a reference object (which would be needed to destroy it later) or the ability to assign a name to the created object (also another way to destroy the fire/smoke object) eg: info here https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_effectSmokeBig trigger.action.effectSmokeBig(Vec3, 3, 0.75, "mysmoke") or local smoke_object = trigger.action.effectSmokeBig(Vec3, 3, 0.75, "mysmoke") And Also be able to destroy the created big fire or big smoke object at a later stage in the mission eg: Unit.getByName('mysmoke'):destroy() or smoke_object:destroy() I would also like this to work in both Single player and Multiplayer
