Tricky11 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 How do i add welcome messages to clients joining a server? is it mission specific?
BlacleyCole Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I would think a on mission star ,time more 5 for example, message to all then your message and display time, plus you might want to add a noise to get their attention BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.

Tricky11 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Yes but wouldn't that just happen at mission start and not when someone logs on?
BlacleyCole Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Play with it and see what happens you may have to figure it the trigger but the restshold be close you learn more by someone throwing you a bone like I did than if they tell you how the worst case is the mission crashes BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.

Johnny_Rico Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 @Tricky11 to answer your question SLMOD or MOOSE will allow you to do this But the issue is it does this each time on a birth event (so each time you enter a slot and spawn you get this) METAR weather for DCS World missions Guide to help out new DCS MOOSE Users -> HERE Havoc Company Dedicated server info Connect IP: 94.23.215.203 SRS enabled - freqs - Main = 243, A2A = 244, A2G = 245 Please contact me HERE if you have any server feedback or METAR issues/requests
feefifofum Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) No need for 3rd party scripting if you don't mind the message repeating on respawn. Switched condition, unit alive, message to group. Alternately you can install SLmod which has a built in welcome message function. Edited July 7, 2018 by feefifofum THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC
104th_Maverick Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 You can do this without any mods just by using the default mission editor. Example... Lets say you have a mission with 3 client aircraft in it (you could have 300 it doesnt matter). You have to make sure that every aircraft is in its OWN group. Do NOT have multiple client aircraft in the same group. So now you have three groups. Uzi 1, Uzi2 and Uzi 3 (you can call them what ever you want, just make sure you give them a name so you can find them in the editor). It is also a good idea to make sure the 'Pilot name' is the same as the Group Name. This way your group name and unit name will be the same making it easier to find things. No go to trigger options. Set the first condition as a SWITCHED CONDITION. Set the second condition as UNIT ALIVE and select Uzi 1 Set the thrid condition as MESSAGE TO GROUP, now select Uzi 1 group and type your message eg.. "hello welcome to my server, I love 104th_Maverick and all that he stands for". You can also set how long you want to the message to display for here. Now anytime a client joins in this aircraft even after he has been shot down he will get that message when he spawns. It should look like this ... Now you just need to redo this for all the aircraft in your mission (I have to do this 100s of times for our 104th missions) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 104th Phoenix Wing Commander / Total Poser / Elitist / Hero / Chad www.104thPhoenix.com www.facebook.com/104thPhoenix My YouTube Channel
BlacleyCole Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Couldn’t you use unit is alive instead of group and that way it doesn’t. Mae f the unit is a single in a group or multiples? Assuming unit is alive exists as conditions BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.
