AI respawn issue - ideas required

[DoctorStrop]

Hi all,

 

I have set up, using my limited MIST knowledge, a little mission that re-spawns AI groups on group destruction. This almost works as I would like it.

 

My issue is that if the group completes it route, then the group destroy re-spawn events do not apply. To counter this, I have tried to create a condition so if the group leaves the combat area trigger zone, then deactivate and re-spawn. This does not work, group deactivates but does not re-spawn.

 

I have trawled through the forums, and google searches to no avail. My questions to you all are;

 

1. 
   
2. is there a "group is landed" event
   
3. is there a "destroy group" action
   

Thanks in anticipation.

 

Forgot to mention I am using DCSW1.5 and MIST mist_4_0_57.lua

 

Statement I am using so far;

Continuous action No event;

Group dead RUS SU-30 CAP;

Do script file (mist_4_0_57.lua), Do script

if not Group.getByName('RUS SU-30 CAP') then

mist.respawnGroup('RUS SU-30 CAP', true)

end

 

EDIT **********

I've sussed it. I add another trigger, so if out of zone, do re-spawn action, but don't have the handler to check if the group does not exist. AI planes don't land, they just re-spawn back on the tarmac ready to go.

Youre using the MIST doscript file wrong.... Use:

 

MISSION START -> DO SCRIPT FILE -> mist_4_0_57.lua

CONTINUOUS -> GROUP DEAD (RUS SU-30 CAP) -> DO SCRIPT (if not Group.getByName('RUS SU-30 CAP') thenmist.respawnGroup('RUS SU-30 CAP', true) end)

 

That should work'

Thanks for your response. I believe you did not read my question fully. That part of the script works, I am looking for an extra condition for when the flight does not get destroyed and returns to base.

 

I did try your recommended changes however, but that goosed things up, as the do script command could not find MIST.
