Mission Editor Load Mission Action

[Wrecking Crew]

v1.5 Release

Mission Editor Load Mission Action, add option to restart

 

In the Mission Editor, for an event with an Action of Load Mission, provide an option to either load a mission by filename (this is the current action) or instead check a box to "Load (restart) Current Mission".

 

PLEASE do this :geek:

If yiou load the same mission is that not the same thing as restarting? Or is this because that crashes?

Guys, this is about a multiplayer mission ending by it's rules and restarting through a triggered event. It applies to a server running missions that need to be restarted once won or lost or timeout.

Pikey,

When I update a mission the file name changes to indicate the DCS version and the mission version. Because the name changes, any action of Load Mission also must be updated to the new file name. If one forgets to do this then the server will hang up.

 

If there is an optional check box to restart then the event trigger will not need to be updated every time the file name changes.

Yeah its broken, however, just checkign the new API it appears the server list has begun to be implemented in the API:

net.load_mission(miz_filename)

Loads a specified mission, temporarily overriding the server mission list.

SERVER ONLY

 

net.load_next_mission() -> bool

Load the next mission from the server mission list. Returns false if list end is reached

SERVER ONLY

 

Now to get these working read the doc itself in your API folder, and checkout Ciribobs implementation successfully using the API in CSAR script and Xcom now also using slot blockign in BlueFlag, under my post about objectdestroy in the same multiplayer mission builder forum.

 

I don't do LUA though and i'm not even sure if this is that helpful.

Bump.

 

Enhance the Mission Editor for the triggered action 'Load Mission' by providing a checkbox for 'Restart This Mission'. If checked then the File: argument field would be greyed out for this action.

 

This will help the mission designer in that they would not need to change the File: argument each time that the mission name is changed, such as for a revision change.
