WWII Radar Script request

[dooom]

I am wondering if it is possible to create a script that simulates the Chain Home range/direction functionality from great britain in the late 30s/early 40s. I would like to us the radio towers to simulate an array with an add radio flag function to force a do script print out bearing/range of enemy planes within "X" (read zone radius) of a Chain Home tower. Different add radio functions would call on different group stations for reports.

 

I see a plausible example of the print outs with Stonehouses' work in the GCI script and wonder if this could be adapted for a WWII purpose.

 

My hope is that a Chain Home array could add immersion and free my mission making from such a heavy reliance upon flak to assist aircraft spotting.

 

I see the script requiring the user inputs of creating the zones/adding the radio towers but the script logic could hopefully add the radio items and remove them if a radio tower is taken out.

 

Is this possible? I have tried to introduce AWACS and GCI into WWII MP missions but consistently face frustration with the dependability of clients not hearing/being able to contact the awacs - also , they are a bit too powerful and theatre wide to work well in WWII.

 

A Chain home system might be more plausible, reliable and ultimately add new strategic targets to the missions.

Nobody can do this script ????

Check out the EWRS script by Steggles.

I did one with MOOSE for the ACG server.

 

edit:

It handles the spawning of raids plus their detection.

Contact me for any questions.
