Popper Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Hi guys! Do you want to dynamically spawn, respawn and despawn groups in your DCS mission? Do you want to have sub folders in the F10 menu? Did they tell you you'll need to learn LUA coding and the DCS scripting environment to do it? Well, I learned LUA so you don't have to. This script will create submenu's in the F10 menu based on the names of groups. It will create a sub menu for every group that has within a spawn and despawn button, these do exactly that. For now it's possible to go 1 submenu deep and also to add multiple groups to 1 spawn/despawn button. An example: If I have the following groups: !! Red 1 !?Wave 1?! Red 2 !?Wave 1?! Red 3 !?Wave 2?*BULK 1*! Red 4 !?Wave 2?*BULK 1*! Red 5 The following F10 menu will be created (not accounting for the random order it will be in): Red 1 Spawn Despawn Wave 1 Red 2 Spawn Despawn Red 3 Spawn Despawn Wave 2 BULK 1 Spawn Despawn As you can see Red 4 and 5 are not shown as they are a part of BULK 1 and both will be spawned or despawned by the buttons.

Facocero Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Probably sure I miss some steps, because it doesn't work for me. I did exactly what the guide suggested. I put a group on the map, named it exactly as suggested. I entered mist and dssm.lua, as indicated. I start the sim and nothing appears, there is no menu. Someone who has succeeded could post me a small sample mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path you are using in the second line (DO SCRIPT) seems to be invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titi69 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hi Thank you for the script, nice work Is there any way with the actual script to limit access to the submenu based on coalition? actually submenus are visible by both side as work around i just modified all "missionCommands.addSubMenu" with "missionCommands.addSubMenuForCoalition" so i load 2 script (1 for blue 1 for red coalition) But i was wondering if option is already there and if i am doing something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipergallo Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hi, thank you for this script. There is a way to get an order in the menu and submenu? Alphabetic or numeric order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
