it only works in RETRIBUTION

 

Strange, i play with it in every mission and it works standalone!

Only thing with retribution is, that you can edit it from within Retribution without editing the file directly.

Try it!

[marmeys]

please share the mission!!!
I can't start it...only the anti-radar of ships works from the script!

but the script is awesome.The others work, but this one doesn't.

Will try it again when i'm back home! I'm really curious now...

Any chance you haven't fired/dropped the weapon yourself? As i understand the script, only player weapons are processed.

But i may be wrong, lua is not my language!

Exactly, I tried it myself/// on the polygon specially created a mission to test the scripts SPLASH DOMAG.

 

 If you replace the bottom part of the script from the default version (the newest 2.1 .... came out 3 months ago). 
you get secondary explosions.

the secret's in there somewhere.

I asked the guys to make it work for regular missions...

but I didn't get a reply.

Hi!

I think i know what's going on now

You are right, the script i posted only works for player weapons. Probably the people from Retribution done this for better performance in the campaign.

However the script from page one in this thread won't work at all because of the latest changes in DCS 2.9!

As user bal2o already said on page 6:

"Hi, i think the script need short update because 2.9 update and change in dcs API :   foundObject:getCategory() need to be replace by Object.getCategory(foundObject)" 

And because of this it wasn't working for buceador also.

So i will delete the posted file i posted on site 6 and post a fixed one here!

Let me know how it works for you!

Yes, your script works!!!(it doesn't say that the script is enabled--- but it can be enabled).

if you want to add weapons only last and don't forget to put a comma at the end.

You can add weapons were you want in the weapon list, just don't forget the comma.

 ["unit_cant_fire_health"] = 50, --if health is below this value after our explosions, set ROE to HOLD to simulate damage weapon systems

it's an excerpt from the script!
how and where to change ROE to HOLD?

First you have to enable this: ["damage_model"] = true,

Then whenever the health of the unit drops under 50, (or whatever you set in ["unit_cant_fire_health"] = 50,) the unit won't fire anymore.

You can also disable the units ability to move with this parameter: ["unit_disabled_health"] = 30,

Hey Kurdes,

would you be so kind as to check that again?
I tried a few times yesterday but it doesn't seem to work (again)

No message that the script was loaded and no more damage.

Thank you !

 

[markturner1960]

Is this superceded by the new explosions in DCS and is it still compatible?

[Gunnergolly]

No longer appears to be working..... i'm seeing the initial "script loaded" message upon mission start, but no longer seeing any damaged/distroyed messages in game.

Edited April 28, 2024 by Gunnergolly

[JeffreyC]

Those messages aren't part of the script they are part of a DCS setting for battle damage reporting.

[leonardo_c]

added a few weapons related to f-4e.

I do not have all modules so there might be some missing pieces from JF17, 15e, rotary craft, trainers and who knows, just keep an eye for "missing from Splash Damage script" messages in dcs.log

lot of new lines were added directly in github, it will be good that all people do the same

to have and share a unique source

Where are you seeing the new lines? I only see updates from 8 months ago?

[MysteriousHonza]

Anyone used GBU-8s, walleyes or AGM-45 and do they work for you? They were added on ECW but for some reason, they dont work. 

[JeffreyC]

Walleyes on the F-18 work. No idea if they call a different one on the F-4

[spikef22]

thats odd are none of the Jeffs weapons supported?

Perhaps the latest updates have not yet been published by the author, but this should happen soon.

Now that the F-4E is released, for the first time I'm dropping strings of bombs and I'm finding that the bombs are destroying themselves before they land when using this script.  A quick fix in using the MXU-735 plug and changing the function delay to 0.25s.  Also increasing the interval time can help.

@Grimm Hi, sorry if my question has already been answered somewhere here, but is it possible to disable the function which disables weapons and movements on partially damaged vehicles?

I'd like to simulate a more fanatic enemy and set the retreat conditions myself in the ME.

Otherwise the script works great and lots of pilots noted the increases lethality of their munitions as a very positive experience in our mission.

Thanks and best regards,

Sure, just set the damage_model option to false.

@Grimm Hi, we experienced a DCS crash clients (Multi Players) with a strike (F-15E/1xGBU-10) on a super container cargo ship (N 29°30.737'   E 34°59.657') docked at the port of   Al Aqabah on Sinaï map.

Seems be caused by the explosion of containers which individually generate a large number of simultaneous explosions causing a DCS crash. Not reproduced with a local mission.

 

Is there a solution to fix it ? 

 

Thanks

[titi69]

Try to disable the larger explosion options, but i am getting also error/crash when we get too many explosions, sometimes even without splashdamage

 

["larger_explosions"] = false, -
