Release cargo in trigger zone

[wolf5]

Hi there

 

I try to make a mission where an Huey transport a cargo in a specific zone.

 

I name my cargo "cargo01" and my trigger zone "here"

I set my trigger like this :

 

Trigger

ONCE

 

Conditions

unit inside zone (cargo01, here)

unit's speed lower than (cargo01,1)

unit's vertical speed in limits (cargo01,-1,1)

 

Actions

Message to all (blablabla, 10)

 

My problem is, each time a release my cargo correctly (cargo up, not dead), DCS crash.

I don't know if my trigger is correct or if it's a bug.

Anyone can try and confirm ? :dunno:

 

Thanks

Cargo is a unit- and it isn't detectable when it is in the air. Just go "switched condition" / unit in zone... / then whatever action you want. It won't automatically trigger if it's "in" the zone at altitude... only when it touches down.

 

Switched condition helps if you're doing a condition of cargo 1 OR cargo 2 OR cargo 3 OR etc.

 

If it's only the one cargo- then running it "once" is fine.

Thanks ENO

 

I removed "unit's speed lower than (cargo01,1)" and "unit's vertical speed in limits (cargo01,-1,1)" then I tried with "switched condition" and "once" but no luck. DCS crash again.

Can you just quickly post your crash logs here or link to them posted in the crash forum in DCSW thread?

After few tests, it seems that i crash only with blue coalition (Georgia, Italy, France) and without any trigger. Only in this mission.

If i try with a russian huey, no problem.

Very interesting.

I'd further that to say Cargo is a Static Object.

 

Static Objects not being detectable in the air is a good thing to know. I'm working on a mission that will put Blue infantry onto a Red held bridge to blow it. If the Blue infantry gets Cargo delivered then they will have Stingers, too.

Sorry to revive this thread but is anyone having issues with this for DCS 1.5 or 2.0? I can't get the cargo to register with a trigger zone. I have no problems with normal units.

You can use CTLD, it has a function to count crates dropped in a zone.

 

You dont have to use any of the other features of the script, just add it as a DO SCRIPT and use this function in the Mission editor as described

I havent tested it in a while with sling loadable crates added by the mission editor so let me know if you have any issues

 

Edit: Dont forget to add MIST as well :)
