Set parking or runway to #4 for all aircraft you add to the carrier. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Yes. You set the action within the unit(s) itself, then when with trigger is tripped, use AI Task Push. Let me know if you need a clearer explanation. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I was able to get a Heli to takeoff from the Stennis and establish itself in a nearby follow/escort position. Just took a lot of manual tweaking and timing. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I’d love this too. Would really like to be able to build a mission outside of the game and only have it loaded if I need to do testing. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Wouldn’t you just be able to set that in the ME itself? Doesn’t seem like it needs to be a manual script. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Alright guys. I think I have the first mission ready to go. Here’s a link to it: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao1GdPnFY9bnxCI5bLRxU_itejLw Please give it a try and I’d love your feedback on it. Here’s the script: https://1drv.ms/t/s!Ao1GdPnFY9bnxCPXHu0Tw760coeN I’d like to try and coordinate with everyone as much as possible. I’m thinking probably just need a plain voice recording. I figured out how to do the radio effect so I think I can do that. Do you guys know if these sound files have to be included with the miz file separately when I upload it or are they enclosed into the miz file? I will be the voice of Breaker 1. I will have my girlfriend do the voice of Vaziani Tower. I need voices for: LSO - 1 line Stennis - 2 lines Crate 1 - 3 lines Rawhide 1 - 5 lines Jackal 1 - 8 lines Overlord - 8 lines Plank - 18 lines I recommend running the mission to get an idea of the pace and mood, then doing the voices. Alright so with all of that out of the way... who’s down for what? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Sorry I’m a truck driver and don’t always have internet access and I’m stuck this weekend without access. Yes that’s what I do for my LSO “in the groove” calls: switched condition, Unit is below 190 knots and below 500’ agl and within a zone of the carrier which is about 7000’ radius I believe. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Oh lol I thought you meant a lua script file. I was like I can send you the mission file from the miz but that’s a mess lol Okay let me put together a script for you guys and get it sent. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Thanks to all of you guys! How do I send y’all a script file? The way my mission is set up at the moment, it’s all in timed messages to group, if that matters. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I’ll take a look when I get a chance. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

You know the scripture: “Through God, all things are possible?” Well... Through scripting, all things are possible. Don’t ask me though. I don’t know how lol. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I see. I’ll keep that in mind when I build my mission involving bombers. On a separate note: I have a section of fighters that split up really far apart when tasked to attack an air drone. You wouldn’t happen to know how to get them to stay together would you? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Thanks for sharing! Can you elaborate on the attack run tuning necessary? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

To get zones to move with the carrier you need to set a condition for something like “Unit inside moving zone” Here’s what I would do: Set up a zone big enough to encompass the carrier. Don’t need to bother putting it on the carrier as it will get linked to the carrier when you set the condition up for it. Use Switched trigger. Set Unit inside moving zone condition, use your unit, and the zone linked to the carrier. Set the trigger for this to be Flag 1 = 1 Set up all your enemy units and set them for Late Activation. Set triggers for each one: Heli units activate when Flag 1 = 1. Armored column units activate when Flag 1 = 2. TU23’s activate when Flag 1 =3. When you start the mission your Flag 1 will = 1, and the heli units will activate. Fly out and do your thing. When you come back to the carrier, the trigger will put another digit onto Flag 1, making it have a value of 2. This will trigger the column. Fly out and kill them. Then when you come back, now your flag 1 will have a value of 3. TU23’s will activate. Hope this helps. I’ll make a video for ya later if you need it. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Thanks bud. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

If I recall correctly, I think I had to set client start time to something other than the actual mission start. Like add 5 seconds to the start time (which means you’ll have to wait those 5 seconds fly til you can get into your plane). Doing that changes things to where you can start in a parking spot. It’s been a while since I did that though so I’m not 100% on that. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I wonder if specifically ordering AI to engage/destroy you with a weapons hold ROE would do it. If you don’t mind being invincible then you could set AI to have guns only but non tracer ammo and unlimited ammo (not sure if you can set that for AI or not) that way you wouldn’t see them. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Good morning gentlemen. Quick question: I updated my callsign lua with a bunch of new callsigns for a multiplayer mission. Will the host of the mission need to have the same updated callsign lua to keep functionality of the custom callsigns? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do! Care to share your how-to? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Hmm I’d like to know this too. I haven’t tried them yet but I’m planning to use 52’s for a mission in my campaign. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I’d like to add a sub to my carrier fleet. I know there’s no US subs but is there a way I can substitute one with the Russian sub and rename it/add it to the US ships list? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I did! Thanks for the suggestion. Good videos. It’s my ears that are the problem though lol. I can’t hear well enough to make good voice files with varying tones of voices and effects. Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Good evening gents. As I’ve mentioned recently, I’m working on a couple of missions, planning to make a full campaign intended for public release. Right now I just have two missions with probably 100 lines between the two, I’d guess. I’m deaf and the guys I fly with are deaf. I can hear sounds reasonably well but not voices. As I’d like to make these missions as high quality as possible and enjoyable by all, I want to have full voiceovers. I know I’m asking for a lot but would a couple of you be interested in helping me do the voices? I need, if I recall correctly, about 6-7 different voices, so you’d need to know how to edit your voice to simulate different persons speaking. I also need that radio effect too. Voice recording with tone of voice editing and radio effect is all I need. I can put them into the missions. I’m happy to work with multiple parties on this, and I can probably do the voice for the primary character myself. Again I know I’m asking a lot, so to make it a little more fair I’m willing to arrange purchasing a module for your time and effort. We would agree on what’s to be done, in exchange for what module. I’d buy the Tomcat or equivalent value if someone did both missions with editing. So... any takers? Todd “Dipstick” Barker

Thank you guys for the replies. You were a big help! 106th Strike Fighter Squadron - Deaf Terrors Todd “Dipstick” Barker

I wonder if setting their skill level to Average would make a difference but still, with 5-10 ships they’re still gonna knock shit out of the big blue. I don’t think you can set ROE independently... Just a guess here, what about setting up a random trigger paired with weapons free? They only go weapons free if the random trigger is true then they go back to weapons hold. Also, I don’t remember if the ships have an ROE option for weapons free only when attacked or something like that but that’s another alternative. Could also use zone trigger and have them engage only if the enemy unit is heading directly towards the ships within a certain distance. 106th Strike Fighter Squadron - Deaf Terrors Todd “Dipstick” Barker
