Sedlo Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Hey folks! Just trying to make a multiplayer mission which will include a slot for a Combined Arms "Tactical Commander" who can play the role of AWACS. I want them to be able to have the fog of war setting enabled, but the pilot slots to be only able to see their own position on the map. I've seen this at work on some multiplayer servers, but for the life of me I can't make it work on my own. If I have fog of war enabled, then the pilot slots can see everything the AWACS can detect. If I have it disabled, my Tactical Commander is blind. Is there a trick to getting this to work, or are those other big multiplayer servers using some sort of special script to make that effect? Thanks! My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS
Skitter Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 +1 Would be good idea for JTAC to not be able to see the AC too
rassy7 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Would certainly add even more value to the CA roles in a joint mission. Has this been added to the wishlist?

Furia Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Well I do not know how this works in 2.5 but I have made several missions with F10 options of just "Show Map" but and Tactical Commander had the information of own forces and "known enemy forces" available on his screen I would try it now. Maybe it has changed [sIGPIC]http://menorca.infotelecom.es/~raulurbina/ESA/banner_furia.png[/sIGPIC]
Furia Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Tested and it works perfectly as usual. :thumbup: I am placing here a simple test mission. Jump on the Tactical Commander slot and see how despit having the scenario F10 to be configured as " Show only map", for the Tactical Commander you can see all your own units all the time and once the enemy units are located, You can see them as well as long as they are on detection range of any of your units. There are red units ahead of the Blue tanks, let them advance a litte and you will see the red units on your map as well shortlyTest Fog of War.miz [sIGPIC]http://menorca.infotelecom.es/~raulurbina/ESA/banner_furia.png[/sIGPIC]
Sedlo Posted July 28, 2018 Author Posted July 28, 2018 Interesting!!!! I think I see what was happening, I had set the F10 option to see own aircraft or fog of war... I didn't try map only! I think this is how I'll do it, thank you for the info! My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS
