[MOOSE] RAT - Random Air Traffic

[Badass1982]

Yeah the traffic I generate from the stennis works just fine (actually it didn't didn't work with an f14 I tried it just got stuck on the cat) but the 18's work great they just never fly back to the carrier they always fly from and to airbases after they've left the carrier.

[Badass1982]

I may just be having a brain fart but what would I add or change from this code to make the b727 be part of Switzerland and the neutral Coalition so the Russians don't shoot down the passenger jets?

 

Thanks in advance.

Cool thanks.

Hi,

 

Thanks for all the great advice everyone.

 

I'm trying to get random skins to work, well randomly.

 

I can get them to work randomly if I use a line as such:

local B747skins={"AI", "CP", "KLM", "LH", "NW", "PA", "QA"}

 

But what I want is the script to choose from all skins in the liveries without having to type them all in as in the line above.

 

At the moment it just seems to pick whatever is chosen in ME.

 

What I have at the moment is this:

 

-- RAT Object

local yak=RAT:New("RAT_Yak")

local b737=RAT:New("RAT_B-737")

local b747=RAT:New("RAT_B-747")

local c17a=RAT:New("RAT_C-17A")

local an26b=RAT:New("RAT_An-26B")

 

-- Liveries

yak:Livery(yakskins)

b737:Livery(b747skins)

b747:Livery(b747skins)

c17a:Livery(b747skins)

an26b:Livery(b747skins)

 

-- Spawn

yak:Spawn(3)

b737:Spawn(3)

b747:Spawn(3)

c17a:Spawn(3)

an26b:Spawn(3)

A380skins={"Air France", "BA", "China Southern", "Clean", "Emirates", "KA", "LH", "LHF", "Qantas Airways", "QTR", "SA", "TA"}

Cessnaskins={"Blank", "D-EKVW", "HellenicAF", "Muster", "N9672H", "SEagle_blue", "SEagle_red", "USAF-Academy", "V5-BUG", "VH-JGA"}

 

Although if you want regional only or variation you still need to set Livery per spawn using the line in your RAT object like this, to limit, the script will not and should not randomly pick liveries without being told to otherwise you would lose control and people would get mad:

 

a380s:Livery({"Emirates", "China Southern", "BA", "KA"})

[Helles Belle]

Thanks pikey,

 

I've resorted to using something like what you've got above (just not all liveries)

 

Slowly educating myself on lua scripting and getting more in depth with it.

 

Thanks for all the hard work?

[Babok]

heyo,

 

 

is there a way to remove static landing farp and oil plateform for helicopter

[Pikey]

Helles Belle: NP - Frank did th ehard work for this, i'm just keeping him scripting

 

Babok: Not sure I understand, if you mean you dont want RAT using farps and Oil platforms, then you need to tell the script.

[Babok]

yes i want to know how to do this

[Rudel_chw]

yes i want to know how to do this

 

 

Use the :SetDeparture and :SetDestination statements, where you explicitly designate which airbases to use.

[Pikey]

Use the :SetDeparture and :SetDestination statements, where you explicitly designate which airbases to use.

Well yeah, exactly, if one is running a script where RAT is using things you dont want it to, then, 'untell' to use those in the same way as you told it to, but in reverse...

[Babok]

Use the :SetDeparture and :SetDestination statements, where you explicitly designate which airbases to use.

 

 

thanks for the hint, it works now :thumbup:

[boo_n_817]

Using RAT to spawn bad guys is no problem but I'm trying to spawn them every 5-10 minutes. I can't find it. I'm sure this is simple and the answer is on here somewhere but a little nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

[mondaysoff]

Hi Guys, hope someone can help out here.

Just updated my stable version of DCS to 2.5.6 and Moose R.A.T to 2.5.0, all of my training missions that I have set up are all void of Random Air Traffic. None of my existing lus'a load, I can't even get a simple 3 line lua to work on a brand new mission, I reverted back to R.A.T 2.4.13 but still the same.

 

My usual process after any update of DCS, Clean Up, Repair, delete FXO & Metashaders 2

Also I have reopened missions in the editor, tweaked and resaved, checked triggers and resaved.

 

Is it something really easy I'm missing here?

 

Much appreciated.

any news on that matter? same here, CAM RAT demo instant missions also not showing any traffic...

[Xeno426]

It seems that neutral units can only spawn or land on neutral airfields. One would have expected that they'd be able to use all of them, since blue and red can use neutral fields.

 

Would be nice to let neutral aircraft land at any coalition, at least as an option.

Thanks HILOK, but this didn't work for me, a simple 3 line lua:

 

local yak=RAT:New("RAT_YAK")

 

yak:SetDeparture("Nalchik")

yak:Spawn(5)

 

I'm not that experienced with scripting, but I have had a lot more than this working in the past, Hope it worked for you.

nope! looked very promising though, hence my post, but unfortunately no luck so far...

I tried you mission and Moose and your script are not loading. You have set up a trigger type "ONCE" on event "ON MISSION START". Looks like that is not working.

 

Use "TYPE: 4 MISSION START" as trigger for both loading Moose and the script and it works.

thank you so much, funkyfranky! that did it for me : )

i only do this every once in a while, and just followed the instructions in the OP, where it recommends using the once trigger...

 

thanks

RAT Object is not respawing after being destroyed (by RAT script itself) for being idle in ground for too long, in my case after getting damaged while trying to park in a used by static parking spot.

 

I don't know if this is intended that way. If it is, maybe add a setting command to force respawn instead of destroy object in case of getting stuck on ground for too long.

 

(I tried the RAT:RespawnAfterCrashON(), but it won't respawn the object after it gets destroyed by RAT)

[mondaysoff]

 

Use "TYPE: 4 MISSION START" as trigger for both loading Moose and the script and it works.

 

Thanks funkyfranky, back on track again, as HILOK said, small change has been made. Love learning this programming, albeit at a very slow pace.

[Glow]

is there any any way to have working routes with this script? Can't find the answer.

 

I know about "Air traffic implementation attempt" by Zubetto, will try it later.

I seen some functions in doc but nothing seems to work for me. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
