RedKite Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Over the last few days I've been creating a means to save, load and dynamically change the deck of your supercarrier! I've created a handful of templates for 4, 8 and 16 spawns along with some extras for mass recovery parked on the catapults, and blocked angled deck for large launches on any map. Using triggers you can spawn or delete these templates at will during the mission. You can find it here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3309905/ I encourage you to watch my video for a guide on how to use lua templates and how to create your own! I'l probably be adding a few new templates when i get the time. If anyone produces their own templates be sure to share them on this thread! Please be aware, currently in DCS open beta 2.5.6.49314 The objects will spawn sunk into the deck in multiplayer. I'm looking to collect some tracks / details to report onto ED thanks!

A.P. Hill Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 shipID problem Hi Redkite I am having trouble getting the templates to work. I have watched your video many times trying to spot my error (which is most often the case) but so far no luck. I type in shipID = 4 and add the templates as per your video but nothing happens. I have uploaded the mission for your inspection. Another question I have is can one use two supper carriers and load templates on both?

(assuming the shipID works) Thank you for you work (and your patience) AP, you need to set flag 404 to your ship id. So do a trigger for that, then do "Time More 3" or so for the spawn trigger so it executes after the 404 flag is set. See this line in the lua's? ["linkUnit"] = trigger.misc.getUserFlag('404'), -- This flag MUST contain the unit ID of the ship you wish to spawn on 1st vAEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.P. Hill Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 wrl11 Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how to implement it all. Not to familiar with flags. I'm not sure how to set flag 404 to my ship ID. Is 404 a random number or is it something that is tied to ID ing a unit? Anyway thanks again I will try you suggestions as best I can. I will re post my next attempt hopefully you might see it and critique it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.P. Hill Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 wrl11 Well I got it going! I am posting it just wanted you to look at it. I think I did what you suggested. Thank you!Super Carrier test_4.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.P. Hill Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Is flag 404 the only flag you can use to ID you ship? If I put in 2 super carriers for example, is there another flag to use for the ship ID of the second carrier? If I, for example, use flag 404 and the value is the ID of the first carrier say 4 (the unit ID) and the second unit is say ID of 57, would I use 404 and a value of 57? I did try that and it switched the template to the other carrier so it would seem that either you cant do two Super Carriers or there must be another flag to use for the second carrier?

wrl11 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You can actually simplify it to this... 1st vAEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrl11 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 For a second supercarrier, they way this lua is done you would change the flag in the lua. Do a replace in notepad++ to replace 404 with another flag. Then set that one to the new ship id like you did before. So you will have to have 2 separate sets of luas for each sc. 1st vAEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrl11 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You can try keeping 404, and just do a time more 3 sec for the second SC in a second script like I did above with your 2nd ship ID. I have not tested that, but that should work also I think. 1st vAEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
