    Complete Transport and Logistics Deployment - CTLD

    in Scripting Tips, Tricks & Issues

    Posted · Edited by King39

    Well, to answer my own question there isn't a function to skip or pass over a target but there IS a function to prioritize the targets thereby telling the JTAC which to lase and in what order. Much better in my opinion.

    But now I have another quandary in how to turn off or deactivate a JTAC.

    I've got three JTACs on the ground and are inactive until triggered by an F10 flag which is working well.
    The problem is turning them off after each of their targets are destroyed.

    I tried to Deactivate them (one by one) when the Player exits the zone (after a success message) but I get the message "JTAC KIA!" which doesn't look so good in-mission.
    There is a ctld.jtacStop[_jtacGroupName] on line 4919 but I just can't get it to work.
    What I need to do is Deactivate or stop the current JTAC (so he's not listed in the F10

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks.

    PS - one other (little) thing  - I'm looking for a way to remove the F10 "List Radio Beacons" message. It comes up automatically under F10. Other and I can't seem to find it listed in CTLD.

    Good question, or a good feature request!

     

    Another request: It seems in Combined Arms as Tactical Commander you can't access the CTLD functions. Can it be adapted for CA? Driving around in a JTAC Humvee, I can't access "my own" spotting information. Also, is there a way to configure display time for spotted target coordinates? I'd like to write them down to put a mark on the F10 map in multiplayer, but the display time is rather short and I sometimes can't write down the numbers quickly enough. So what's needed is a way to access the JTAC option when actually being the JTAC, and maybe longer display time.

     

    I think you can just hit F10 and select JTAC Status and the message will come back up for a bit. Kind of a round-a-bout way to do it. I'm sure there is a way to make the message stay up longer but you'd have to scour CTLD and look for that line of code.

    Hello,

    In regards to the JTACAutoLase function, is there a way to "Pass or Skip" on a lased target? What I mean is that the JTAC lases everything (which is specified - vehicles or troops or both) so is there a way that the pilot could tell the JTAC to skip to the next target? 

    Don't want to waste ammo or armament blowing up inconsequential targets like Tigr vehicles or even AAA batteries when the targets are SAM sites.

    Thanks in advance.

    Possible to Trigger a Unit/Group to Retreat?

    1.   Setup a triggered action for the given group "Go to waypoint" set it to the start point 0.

    2.   Then setup a "CONDITION" where the groups life is less than say 50%.

    3.   Then push the task "Go to waypoint" in the "ACTIONS".

     

    The group will then return to it's initial start point.

     

    Sorry, I'm not understanding what you are saying

    1. I set a trigger in "Advanced Waypoint Actions" to Go To Waypoint DP ( there is no option for a "0").

    2. Then in Triggers I created a Trigger: "1 Once- No Event", Condition: Group Alive Less Than 50%, and Action: Flag on 1

    I tried IA Task Push but there is no AI Action so I can't use it.

    3. Went back to Advanced Actions and set Type: Perform Task, Action: Go To Waypoint with a Condition User Flag 1

    Still doesn't work. See attached screenshot.

    Sorry, I just don't get it.

    Question:

    Can I use Simpleradio as a "filter" for recorded voice transmissions (which I would use for single player missions). I was hoping to filter voice recordings to add a measure of realism for my missions. I apologize if this has already been covered.

    Thank you,

    A Simple Request from a (Retired) Combat Rescue Medic (not a PJ)

    Hello,

    I'd really like to see a few callsigns added to 2.7 for a proper (A-10C) CSAR scenario (of which the A-10C is integral):

    A-10C - Sandy

    UH-60 (really HH-60 but...) - Pedro

                                                      Jolly

    C-130 (really HC-130 but...) - King

    That's all.

    Thank you,

    John

     

    Any doubts?

    Refer (all available on the web and unclassified):

    AFDD 3-50, Personnel Recovery Operations 

    AFTTP(I) 3-2.26 SURVIVAL, EVASION, AND RECOVERY

    Is It Possible to See How AI Accumulates Scores and/or The Logic Making AI Aircraft Do The Goofy Things They Do?

    in Mission Editor

    Posted

    I'm working on a A-10C II campaign and am having some difficulty in troubleshooting how and why the AI accumulates scores the way it does and also why it directs AI aircraft to not follow designated waypoints and general instructions, etc.? Is there a log file or something which documents what the program is doing during a mission?

    Thank you,

    John

    Introducing A Briefing Page Prior to Aircraft Startup

    in DCS Core Wish List

    Posted

    I'm working on a campaign for the A-10C and one thing that I think would enhance the experience would be a preflight briefing page. It could be nothing more than a visual of the inside of an Ops Briefing/Mission Planning Room but would allow for an audio commentary of the upcoming flight with a text overlay. This would allow for, say, an Intel briefing or maybe a SERE briefing or even a Maintenance briefing prior to stepping to the aircraft which is the way its done in the (U.S.) Air Force.

    I'm just drawing on my real-life Air Force experience but it just seems a bit rushed to go straight into these advanced simulations without the benefit of a "warm-up" in the form of an aircrew brief.

    You could even make this page optional to the mission designer (in the Mission Builder) with a simple checkbox.

    My $.02.

    How to Add a New Callsign

    in Mission Editor

    Posted

    Hello,

    I'm developing a series of missions (campaign) for the A-10C and several of them will be CSAR type flights. Traditionally (going back to Vietnam) A-10C callsigns in the CAS role for CSAR has been Sandy.

    Is there a way I can add Sandy to the drop down list of callsigns?

    Thank you,

    John "Sarge" Schiller
