mastershotgun Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Hi guys, I currently enjoying this campaign and wanted to see how it is done mechanically. So I omen few missions in the mission editor (first and second missions) and find out that there are no trigger zones nor any trigger rules defines. Which surprised me. I'm toying with the idea to make my own missions/campaigns and I wanted to see how "big boys" are doing it to get inspiration. Is the author using something different than the missions editor? Is there something like "mission editor professional"? Or what I'm missing, please? I strongly doubt that so complex missions are done without any triggers at all... Thank you.
Reflected Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Hi mastershotgun! DLC campaigns are protected by ED, so all triggers and zones are hidden and locked. If you're curious, you can download the 2 free sample missions of any of my campaigns from the user files section. Those are not protected. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

But never mind. Did you used anything extra, like some special editor or something? Or is everything "stock" like you can do everything in the mission editor we got with the game, please? Thank you.
Rudel_chw Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 ... Did you used anything extra, like some special editor or something? Or is everything "stock" like you can do everything in the mission editor we got with the game, please? Thank you. DCS has two ways to create missions: using trigger statements or using LUA scripting ... triggers are easier, but scripting is more powerful. You can also mix the two, which is what I do on my missions. For example there is no basic trigger to display a Flag numeric value, but you can use this trigger to perform a LUA statement: trigger.action.outText( 'Total Results: ' .. trigger.misc.getUserFlag ( '100' ), 30 ) this displays the value of Flag 100 during 30 seconds. While the paid Campaigns are protected, you can study the free Campaigns that came included with most aircrafts.

Reflected Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 It’s all stock mission editor triggers, I have no idea about scripting... I have the same kind of access to DCS as anyone else here, and I learned a lot on these forums as well as from user made missions. 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
