I tried it today .. works fine, but you have to be careful with big aircrafts as there are not many parking spots for them.

My problem is that didn´t work. I use RAT in all my other maps (NTTR, Caucasus, Syria, PG) but didn´t work on SA map. Going to try again to see if i can understand why didn´t work.

Neverthelees, all i need to know that it works.

@Rudel_chw thank you very much for your help/reply.

Best regards from Portugal,

F.

Eduardo when you said it works i believed you

You´re one user that i always praise your opinion.

If don´t be too much trouble to you but can you send me that simple mission so i can compare with mine to check what i´m doing wrong please?

 

Thank you once again,

Bruno.

EDIT 1: i only get it to work with moose 2.5.0, and albeit my script have  c130:Spawn(3)  only one is spawned. Going to further testing.

EDIT 2: got it to work with latest moose 2.7.10, i just deleted the triggers etc load everything again, changed script for a new one and for the moment it seems it is working. Still can´t find what was the issue... Thank you.

Is this one:

the first few triggers are the ones that deal with RAT ..  you will need the Pucara Mod in order to load the mission, get it here: https://github.com/PucaraPastrana/PucaraDCS/releases/tag/v0.12b

I'm not an expert, but except the missing livery definitions (you only defined the a320skins, but not the others) I can't see any syntax error.

Can you upload your sample mission containing the RAT script, please? Maybe there is an issue with the triggers.

Here's the mission file. I've tried setting the triggers to mission start and once with time more at different settings. Oh, and its using CAM.

Operation Caucasus (Winter Clear).miz

...and A-4E-C and Hercules. If you remove those two from the mission, I'll take a look.

I tried it, but it logs this error message when running your RAT definition lua:

 

"ERROR   SCRIPTING: Mission script error: [string "C:\Users\Eduardo\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS.openbeta\/~mis0000347F...."]:2: '=' expected near 'local'"

 

However, I don't see anything wrong on your RAT definition, perhaps a user more versed with lua can distinguish what is the issue here.

Try
 

--Liveries

instead of

Liveries--

in line 2.

Step 1:

First, you need to download the Moose.lua file from the MOOSE github page. This contains the RAT class. Here is also the direct link to the Moose.lua version 2.3.1.

 

Step 2:

 

 

Open the DCS mission editor and:

 

• Add an aircraft of your choice. In this example I use a Yak-40 as template group.
• Rename the group to "RAT_YAK".
• Check the "LATE ACTIVATION" tick box.

 

 

Repeat similar steps as in Step 4 to include the "RAT Script.lua":

• Add a second trigger: TYPE=ONCE, EVENT=MISSION START.
• Add a new action for this trigger: ACTION=DO SCRIPT FILE.
• Click on OPEN and load the "RAT Script.lua" file you created in step 3.

 

 

 

Hi! i made all this and nothing happened

Upload your mission and we can check for errors, please.

rat yak is ok. (like it was on example), but rat_il - not starting.

So you've solved your problem, right?

If not, here's the working mission: RAT_UN9249.miz

You can extract the script from the mission file, if you open it with 7-Zip for example.

Hi,

 

Does anyone tried to use the PseudoATC function? tried with no joy.

 

Thank you in advance.

[RafaPolit]

Looking forward to trying this!! Looks great.

Is it possible to assign oil & gas rigs as departure & destination points using the RAT class? I could swear I did it a couple of years ago, but don't remember how and can't seem to get it working now.

Hi Everyone .... hoping someone can assist me with getting a RAT script up and running.

 

Here is the mission file:

@OzCougar check your line 92. You have a capital C where a small one is needed. Always check your log for errors.

@buur .... DOH!!!! Amazing how 1 little thing can mess everything up.

I did actually check the log but didn't see this error listed. Not sure why .... but fixed and all good.

Many thanks ..... Cheers
