Immortal on/off radio toggle

[DoctorStrop]

Hi all,

 

I am hoping someone can help me with toggle of the immortal state.

 

I fly in a group who are practicing formation flying in the Hawk. We have pilots of different skill levels, and suffer a lot of collisions, so we have set all our aircraft to immortal.

 

I have tried to add the following triggers to allow us to toggle this status during the flight;

 

Triggered actions to each craft

Immortal(on) "BK1 immortal"

Immortal(off) "BK1 mortal"

 

ONCE (Add radio items, NO EVENT)

TIME MORE (10)

FLAG OFF (2)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue, Blue knight god mode on, 2,2)

ONCE (Blue Knight God mode on, NO EVENT)

FLAG EQUALS (2,2)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE (Blue Knight god mode on)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue Knight god mode off, 2,1)

AI TASK PUSH(BK 01/1.Immortal(on) "BK1 immortal")

AI TASK PUSH(BK 02/1.Immortal(on) "BK2 immortal")

FLAG OFF (2)

ONCE (Blue Knight God mode off, NO EVENT)

FLAG EQUALS (2,1)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE (Blue Knight god mode off)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue Knight god mode on, 2,2)

AI TASK PUSH(BK 01/1.Immortal(off) "BK1 mortal")

AI TASK PUSH(BK 02/1.Immortal(off) "BK2 mortal")

FLAG OFF (2)

This doesn't seem to work though, and adds multiple "God mode on" commands. I guess it has some thing to do with trying to set a trigger to 2, I don't not if a flag is a Boolean, but if I use as a Boolean then each time I set it's state to either 1 or 0 the event causes the trigger action to swap states without user prompt, hence using FLAG state 2, and clearing FLAG to 0 after each command, I guess like a case statement.

 

I have a good crop of hair still, but with all this scratching my head....

If the trigger mode god On off is in ONCE that wont work, need to be switched condition.

If it doesnt work ,

 

try at the beggining set a trigger saying that everyone is mode god off.

Hi,

 

Maybe I do not understand your answer. I set to switched condition, and it still does not work as expected. I get the radio option toggling as desired, but the aircraft still gets destroyed.

 

I am guessing the state of an aircraft cannot be set if it is not spawned, and I would need a way of testing if the aircraft exists then change trigger state and also when spawning check the state of the FLAG to see if it should spawn in immortal or mortal state.

 

I have changed to the following, but guess more working out to be done;

 

ONCE (Add radio items, NO EVENT)

TIME MORE (10)

FLAG OFF (1)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue, Blue knight god mode on, 1,1)

SWITCHED CONDITION (Blue Knight God mode on, NO EVENT)

FLAG EQUALS (1,1)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE (Blue Knight god mode on)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue Knight god mode off, 1,0)

AI TASK PUSH(BK 01/1.Immortal(on) "BK1 immortal")

AI TASK PUSH(BK 02/1.Immortal(on) "BK2 immortal")

 

SWITCHED CONDITION (Blue Knight God mode off, NO EVENT)

FLAG EQUALS (1,0)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE (Blue Knight god mode off)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue Knight god mode on, 1,1)

AI TASK PUSH(BK 01/1.Immortal(off) "BK1 mortal")

AI TASK PUSH(BK 02/1.Immortal(off) "BK2 mortal")

One thing i can tell you. I tryied something similar once and it dis not work properly. I am out of home so I cant do it now... I ll try later!

[ESAc_matador]

it should work...

[baltic_dragon]

Yes, it should work.

 

Perhaps instead of doing "time more" just use "Mission Start" and add the radio commands then, also the Flag 1 off is not necessary.

 

Also, it would be easier if you just added all the clients as members of one group, that way you can toggle immortality on and off with just one command.

 

for the on and off, I would recommend not to use flag values, but different flags. So in your example:

 

MISSION START (Add radio items, NO EVENT)

(condition empty)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue, Blue knight god mode on, 1,1)

 

SWITCHED CONDITION (Blue Knight God mode on, NO EVENT)

FLAG EQUALS (1,1)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE (Blue Knight god mode on)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue Knight god mode off, 2,0)

AI TASK PUSH(BK 01/1.Immortal(on) "BK1 immortal")

AI TASK PUSH(BK 02/1.Immortal(on) "BK2 immortal")

FLAG OFF (1)

 

SWITCHED CONDITION (Blue Knight God mode off, NO EVENT)

FLAG EQUALS (2,0)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE (Blue Knight god mode off)

RADIO ITEM ADD (Blue Knight god mode on, 1,1)

AI TASK PUSH(BK 01/1.Immortal(off) "BK1 mortal")

AI TASK PUSH(BK 02/1.Immortal(off) "BK2 mortal")

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply. This I also tried. I still doesn't work as expected. :(
