Random encounter?

[harf4ng]

Hi,

 

Is there a way in the mission generator to create random encounters, that could or could not occure?

 

The goal would be for instance to do a patrol mission, and maybe there will be enemies coming, but with their number unknown, and maybe no enemy at all. A bit like a real patrol, as I guess in wars planes on patrol do not always encounter enemies.

 

The same with bomber escort, there may be enemy planes attacking, but that is not 100% sure.

 

Thanks

Lololol another one!!Read the manual!!!

 

Yes you can do it via mission editor with many different ways. Random trigger is the key. It gives you a % of probabilities of an event to happen.

 

However, i prefer using flags.

 

Put let say 5 different fligths with late activation. And make them to activate when a flag has value of 1 to the first fligth, 2 to the second and so on.

 

Then, ONCE, something happens, random flag value from 1 to 6, So one of the flights will be activated or not.

Thanks. Will check the handbook ^^

I never really was into mission editors, usually I fly already created ones ;)

I imagined that.... that is why you should at least read the manual. All the basics are there.

"Handbook" would be the GUI Manual in Programs\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\doc\
