Thadeyus Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It would be grate to disable the Country dependency for Units in the ME. I know you could always use some generic factions but if i like to switch the alliance of countrys in Mission building quite a lot. For example Syria recived some SA-10 from Russia but its not posible to place them as Syrian SA-10 in the ME. There are also a lot of utillity vehicles missing in some countrys. It would be a lot easyer to disable the dependency than to manualy edit them, if this is even Possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that currently we are unnecessarily limited in unit placement due to strict country settings, preventing creativity from the mission designer. In addition, each country should also have a second "civilian" faction. E.g. Syria = Red Force Syria-civilian = Neutral This way you could for instance place some Syrian-civilian cars around your target and penalty the player when they are accidentally destroyed.

gortex Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just assign the units to the generic red or blue coalitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this way, but it would be nice to build separate missions with countries you could fill. Is there a way you can do that with lua programming?

cfrag Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) It's easy with Lua, as you can spawn any unit as belonging to any country; if you mean 'can you give ME-users access to this ability by using a Lua hack': probably, but I've never tried it. You'll have to find the ME-bound Lua script that assigns the countries to units, and then alter that. Edited August 25, 2021 by cfrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen any solution documentated, perhaps you have something as you seem to know how it's possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfrag Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Oh, it's documented: coalition.addGroup() can spawn any group (consisting of any units) for any country. As I said, you need Lua for that (in a mission's DoScrip Action, will not help with ME). Editing DCS Lua sources to alter a unit's country dependency in ME I haven't done, and also have never tried to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what I want, I want to set the units in the ME not switch factions afterwards. I think you don't understand that, I want to place for example a GERMAN Su-25T in the ME - not a GEORGIAN/RUSSIAN ... that switches sides after start.... understood? I pointed out a thing that is not implemented, and could imo be only done by lua editing (if one knows which lua). If you don't have a solution, ok - thanks for your try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
