Hello,

 

Guys, I’m sorry in advanced if this has been asked before, but I’m limited on time, and a search didn’t turn up anything. Here’s what I want to do: I want to build a mission where we can do air to air engagements, red vs blue, clients, and score hits; whether it is with missiles or guns, and not get destroyed, or shot down; but still record the kill.

 

In other words. I want to design a mission that represents real world training, where we can score kills, without the airplanes getting destroyed.

 

I’m very familiar with the ME on triggers, and flags. I thought about making the airplanes immortal, but the problem with that, is that is difficult to tell when you got hit. So, how about making the airplanes immortal, and when a specific client unit gets hit/killed in an AA engagement, display a message to all, with that specific unit that got hit: “Colt 21, you’ve been killed. Nock it off”. Or something like that. Will that work? Can we assign that to a specific unit?

 

I hope I’m clear enough. If not, please ask away. Thanks guys.

You can use an event handler that checks for the HIT event, which contains the initiator, the target, and the ordnance used.

 

It'll require a little bit of .lua magic but it's not terribly difficult. There are also some canned solutions in the MOOSE framework (check out the missile trainer.)

 

Cool man! I’ll look into that. Thanks for pointing me in the direction!

Okay, I looked at the link, and can see by some of the lines that I can understand, it does look like it can do what I’m looking to so; but how do I implement it. Not familiar with MOOSE or .lua files at all man. I’ll see what I can find on my own, but if you know of a good start place to go, without taking too much of your time, I appreciate it if you can provide the info. Thanks again.

The new Moose Missile Trainer is now called FOX. It works great with missiles, we use it on our NTTR weapons training cycle. But it does not protect against guns. So you will still have to do immortal for live guns training. FOX will tell the person when they are hit by the missile and keep a record of it.

Thanks guys! I also looked into the first two links here, and will be trying to learn me some Lúa! I’ll start playing with it as soon as I get back home.
