Move aircraft to another field for user to use

[Mt5_Roie]

So I'm trying to see if this is possible without getting too crazy. But essentially aircraft will start in Anapa and need to advance to the south and take over airfields. Once they've taken over airfields they need to land, hop in another vehichle (rotor or another) to accomplish another task. Then go back to their original jet and rinse and repeat.

 

So is there a way to tell the code that if a plane lands at and airfield, to change it's spawn location to that airfield.? Ideally I would like it to follow the player as they move south...but if the plane gets destroyed it would only be able to be respawned from Anapa.

 

Am I thinking too big? I would need to do this for about 10-12 planes.

There is one way to do this, which is using late activation for the player units which should work.

 

Just mark a player as Late Activation in the mission editor and then activate with a mission trigger at some point.

 

A much more complicated way is using the DCS API as I do with the CSAR Script here: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CSAR

 

specifically this file: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CSAR/blob/master/csarSlotBlockGameGUI.lua

 

This blocks slots from being used based on a flag value in the mission

So essentially pre-populate every airfield with each type of aircraft that they would need, make them all late activation except Anapa and as planes land there I activate them.

 

Is there a way de-activate them if they get destroyed? Trying to make sure the player stars all the way at Anapa if their aircraft is destroyed.

exactly that! Should work. :)
