Spawning planes at a specific parking spot with MOOSE

[Avalanche110]

I have tried this a number of times over the years without success. I am wondering if anyone else has had more success.

 

I am trying to spawn AI aircraft in a specific parking spot at Nellis.

 

I have a simple MOOSE script that will successfully spawn them at the correct airbase, even the correct Terminal type.

 

but I do not understand how to spawn them in a specific parking spot.

 

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use the SPAWN:SpawnAtParkingSpot() function:

local Batumi=AIRBASE:FindByName("Batumi")
Batumi:MarkParkingSpots()

local spawnF16=SPAWN:New("F-16C Group")
spawnF16:SpawnAtParkingSpot(Batumi, {2}, SPAWN.Takeoff.Cold)

 

Note however, that for a group with more than one aircraft, you need to specify all parking spots as second parameter, e.g. {2, 3, 5} because obviously all units need a spot.

 

Secondly, the numbering of the spots is different from what you see in the ME (need to ask ED why). The line Batumi:MarkParkingSpots() puts markers with the info on the F10 map. You can delete that line once you don't need it anymore.

This is a huge help, This has puzzled me for a long time now.

Thanks for the feedback and all your work with MOOSE.

Hi FunkyFranky,

ist it posible to assign an array of parking spots for the AI_A2A_DISPATCHER spawns?
