Questions about the editor

[Grimes]

I do have some questions regarding the mission editor. Some may be a "if no, please add to wishlist" sort of comments. :D

 

1. I noticed that land AI units lack "change formation" and "go to waypoint" commands. Is this to be implemented in A-10C?

 

2. What sort of lua scripting is possible? What sort of information is present within the LUA? Would it be possible to create "LRM-esque" LUA code? Can it be used to set flags?

 

3. If LUA can't set flags. Will current group status conditions be added to trigger conditions? So we can use triggers to read changes created by advanced group actions.

 

4. Can Nav points be implemented as a possible non-group specific waypoint? I.E. Create 100 groups and assign no specific waypoints, then use triggers and advanced actions to determine where to send AI.

 

edit:

 

5. Can add/remove radio items be associated with specific player slots, countries, and/or coalitions?

 

6. Can cockpit arguments be placed on specific (client) aircraft? Some of the guys have been asking if I could create a super cool multiplayer based training scenario.

Good questions there. Maybe if you post that in the 'open' section of the forums, someone in the known would chime in. After all this section is for mission editor issues.

I might be the most dense person on the planet.. but how do you make waypoints in the editor?? (for the a-10c) I start at the runway, name that Wp takeoff.. and then.. I .. am lost!?

 

So how do you add waypoints in editor? Don't tell me to search the forums, since I done that, and don't call me an idiot (even if I deserve that).

After what you have just done just click somewhere else on the map and that will give you waypoint 2 click on the next location and that will give you waypoint 3 etc

That is the problem.. clicking anywhere else just takes focus away from my plane/flight.

 

WP's work with all other flights but the A-10C.

 

Might be some strange beta error (only?) I have, since I havn't seen anyone else complaining about it.

 

EDIT-> Solved it!.. you have to start from parking to be able to setup WP's in my editor at least.. Thanks!

Make sure you have "Add" selected under the Waypoint list on the bottom right of the plane info window. Then when you left click somewhere you'll add a waypoint rather than select that point or something.

Easiest way is NOT to mess with waypoint 1 until you are nearly finished. WP1 near an airfield then just keep clicking for the rest of the WP's last one near and airfield. THEN change WP1 and the last one to takeoff and land
