Lua noob question : no script fonction available for MP except host

[snowsniper]

hi Folks,

 

want to make a simple drop SAR mission for Mi-8 as TOOTALL mission seems broken.

wanted to just modify and simplify to anderstand from an existing one, I only see that there is a lua file in the section "initialize" but can't open it or have it physicaly on my hard drive. Maybe an extract lua from mission fonction exist ?

 

So I begin from scratch with this sample lua file : CTTS

in the CTTS script : mission and F10 feature works only for the host and not for other players in MP.

 

What I did wrong ?

 

I can read " reload script on the mission editor everytime" but what does that mean in fact ?

 

1) reload the *.lua in the initailize section ?

2) add a trigger mission start " DO script *.lua?

 

why other MP don't have the F10 fonction available ?

 

As I'm totally nnob in lua script usage, would be happy to anderstand the above MP problem ( all ressources reseach don't answer that, maybe because it's just easy ... but sorry for that)

 

 

PS ( I manage to use the Flak script in a wwii home made mission and every one could see (and be hurted by flack explosion ) so what's the difference between flak.lua and CTTS.lua in MP ?

The old CTTS is broken, but there is a new one: http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=115066&d=1426616229

You can open the *.miz file. Rename your file to *.rar and open it. You will find the *.lua files!

Should be availble if you have no type error.

You can not edit the lua-script-files under the mission editor (ME) [Do Script File()] - so everytime you change something in your *.lua file, you need to re-open the file in the ME - it will not take the new file version by themself!

thanks for the quick reply !

 

so as i don't modify the lua file but only use it. I don't have to reload it everytime.

 

Just have to re do it with the correct version of the CTTS Script, so .... thanks for the link

the script works well with the Huey. I have a F10 option.

but no F10 option in the mi-8 client ?

 

 

edit : ah ok: it's just because the name of the pilot in ME : must be cargopilotX ...
