DCS Scripting API Prototypes — TGFB Edition info This utility allows for more efficient and cleaner code so, help you make better scripted missions! With this you will gain the ability to lookup and see all functions available to you in the DCS Mission Scripting API. You will get function auto-completion so you will always know what param a function wants/needs. It will also warn you for sketchy nil and Mission Scripting errors so my advice if you see a "warning" in your file you better check that out and fix it to prevent bugs and unintended fun!! The original idea as far as i can see was from 'asherao' Installation and download -> HERE TGFB Info Website: tgfb-dcs.com Discord Feel free to join the TGFB Discord or visit or website to stay up-to-date with my latest projects, mission and tools Enjoy using this tool!! This tool is updated for DCS version : "2.9.19.13478" Credit : - Hoggit Discord - asherao See Screenshot EXAMPLES :

Unlike the "Uncontrolled", this option is to make an AI helicopter start its engine but not yet proceed to its waypoint. Just stay still, on the ground. It's easy for planes to put obstacles to block AI from taxiing. For an AI helicopter, it will try to take off and proceed to the waypoint right after its engine is running. This option is very useful when creating a scenario that from mission start, a group of helos preparing, loading & embarking while their rotors are still spinning, taking off right after some conditions are met. I know there is a way to spawn them in air and let them land right after. But I think letting them land from the beginning looks better and it's easy for creators to put static objects or units around them. It will be better to have optional setting to open the cargo doors like "LAND - COMBAT LANDING".

Don't know when this happened, but I think it's very recent, but the event is no longer firing for either player aircraft skill level set to PLAYER or set to CLIENT. Attached are two missions using the same script (one for Single Player one for CLIENT/MP) If you look at the dcs.log you'll see that the event never fires. SinglePlayerSpawn.mizClientPlayerSpawn.miz Here's the script, it's loaded in each mission file by the DO SCRIPT command: MSB = { ["Version"] = "1.0.0" } function MSB:onEvent(event)

This script can RANDOMLY generate CAS missions in a specific zone. "Random" means the location is randomly chosen, the 9-line is randomly generated and the target is also random.(However in finite choices actually...but you can customize it.) There is a demo mission with radio voice generated by AI in the attachment below. You can use those sound files in your own missions freely with the script(change 'miz' to 'zip' if you don't know how to see things inside a miz file). When you use the script in your own mission, you'll need to create zones and groups like what I did in the demo mission...So it's very important to check out the demo mission first if you want to customize the script. All of the interactions are through the F10 radio menu. You need to enter the mission zone first, and then use radio menu to get yourself assigned with a mission. Then follow the 9-line briefing, report IP inbound. After you have been cleared hot, kill the target and request BDA. The JTAC will tell you if the mission has been accomplished. If you want to try it in an online server, you can go to 36.150.108.238:10320. But the radio commands are in Chinese. Below are some screenshots (the 9-line is telling you that the target is marked by laser and red smoke, this is also randomly generated) null null null null null CAS-demo.miz InfiniteCAS_Release_v1.0.lua

Like you spot a target, lase it, radio an AI plane to come by and drop an LGB (heck even a dumb bomb would be a start) onto the lased position. Does that exist or is it even possible?
