Creating a Border (Cyprus)

[Toni Carrera]

Hi All,

I lived in Cyprus (Limassol) when the Greek / Turkish war broke out in the 70's. I am looking to create a sort of modern day mission based around that fight way back then

What is the best way to create a 'detailed' and 'accurate' friendly / hostile border that split the country between Greek and Turkish sides?

Thank you

Check out MIST by Grimes.  Unit in polygon is the one you're looking for.  Check out this thread for some info: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/173169-mist-detection-via-polygon/

Hi Sedlo,

I think I am going to create a signature that says;

Hi @Sedlo

OK, so I downloaded the latest version of MIST I think (mist_4_4_90.lua). is there like a MIST training course? It has just dawned on me that I used to design very complex missions in ARMA3, and that was all lua code, and I had no problems there, so I guess the mental issues I am having are having a much bigger effect than I thought

If you know of anything that may help Mr Stupid here, who did not even twig that I used to spend hours in LUA, scripting everything, and yet now I look at it and it looks like some form of oriental language

I do not mind if the training is written or visual, nowadays though I tend to pick up things visually. Either that, or is there other lua programming options utilising a different type of MIST etc. I assume that Moose is also an option???

Thanks

Toni

Nevermind, I have found the videos by the guy who wrote MOOSE and his 100 million videos, including a '...for Dummies' set of videos

Thanks

Hey @Toni Carrera!  Take a look at one of my Red Flag missions, I’ve used MIST to create zones around Groom Lake and you can grab an example code off of those if you’d like.
