Chatgpt and the ME

[rhoady]

Has anyone ever used chatgpt for creating/editing missions? I'm trying to set up one now and I'm not familiar with scripting in the miz file so any words of wisdom would be great

Easy as. Start with the basics like;

 

do you know how to code missions for DCS world?

 

ChatGPT said:

Absolutely—I've worked with DCS World mission editing and scripting quite a bit.

 

and go from there. Have fun! 

asked;

give me a working .miz

Here is your working single-player mission file for DCS World on the Caucasus map:

Download Simple_A10_Attack.miz

---

Contents:

• Player Aircraft: A-10C II at Kutaisi (cold start, player controlled)

• Enemy Vehicles: BTR-80s placed nearby as ground targets

• No advanced scripting yet — just a basic setup to fly and attack

 

NOTE:

            Ask "do you know about..." the thing you want to add to the mission to get detailed help.

            Ask for the FULL mission code as it will keep giving you code snippets. 
            Start with the very basics and add one "feature" at a time to slowly build up the mission. (As with actual hand coding  )

No, but ive used it for performing workflows it knew about. However you ar etalking about two different things in two sentences about the same thing. Misison creation doesnt need scripting. And ChatGPT will struggle to tell you how to use the ME apart from click here to place a plane, click here to place a tank. 

Scripting....well if you havent used the mission editor yet (you seem to think its about scripting) then you have a lot to learn before you script and just go read the docs and play around with it, its not that hard.

I use it sometimes for creating mission storylines, see here:

In general, using AI for creating DCS mission scripts at this point in time only works if you already know mission scripting very well. AI do not (yet) understand context, so they are offering up pieces of information filtered through your question. If you know DCS mission scripting well, that can help a lot since you can take the idea presented in the code snippets and make a working whole out of it. If you do not know DCS mission scripting at all, you will not understand what the AI presents you, and it won't work.

Now, there are multiple other things that you may want to look at and clear up:

You seem to conflate creating and editing a mission - which implies that you first want to create a mission, and then, based on that mission, want to refine the results by editing it. This is of course a sensible approach; still you may want to explore simply editing an existing (created by some other author) mission to discover how the mission was put together, and to learn the tricks of  the trade. That's how I started creating missions, and I saved myself a lot of grief learning mission crafting that way. Using an AI chat bot for this is something I haven't tried - maybe it helps have an AI dissect a mission but since AI can't yet understand context, I'm dubious about the prospects.

Finally, you seem to have concluded that you need mission scripting to achieve the goals that you envision for your mission. Using AI to tie together a mission and mission scripting *requires* that an AI understands the context of both your question and the missions that it learned from. This is impossible today. At best you can get AI to provide hints on how to script a certain element of a mission, tying these things together is beyond today's AI competencies.

I use ChatGPT for creating missions, but not scripts or ME. It writes briefings and mission descriptions for me.

With english not being my mother tongue, sometimes I struggle to find words to describe my idea. ChatGPT helps wonderfully at that.

Asking it to code a mission or to write a script is unrealistic today.
