ivanwfr Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 UNIT'S HEADING IN LIMITS Could somebody explain how comes a MESSAGE like this applies to RULES like those? (and I know it does): RULES: UNIT'S HEADING IN LIMITS, 1, 49 OR UNIT'S HEADING IN LIMITS, 61, 360 ACTIONS: MESSAGE (You're heading off-course. Turn to 300) I just don't get the numbers :huh: (...this comes from Sabre-TLA's BFT06 - Advanced Handling)
blaster454 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Are not the number in that trigger to test if the unit ("Player") is within the specified heading (001 through 049)? If so, then the message is sent telling Player to turn to a heading of 300 degrees.

ivanwfr Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Exactly my point! But if you are heading 300, you get caught by the second rule of the trigger and you get the message telling you to turn to 300 :doh: I was suspecting some sort of mixed unit issue for heading (radian, mils, ...) as the one we have with altitude in meters for trigger rules and feet in message to pilot... Nothing makes sense on that path and I still can't figure out what I'm facing here.
ivanwfr Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) As I said, everything is fine in all Sabre-TLA's missions. It's just a question of how this is working internally. But I'm about to find out with added on screen messages with triggers based on heading sectors : "c_unit_heading" "min_unit_heading"] = 1, ["max_unit_heading"] = 30, ["comment"] = "HEADING 1-30" "min_unit_heading"] = 31, ["max_unit_heading"] = 60, ... "min_unit_heading"] = 61, ["max_unit_heading"] = 90, "min_unit_heading"] = 91, ["max_unit_heading"] = 120, "min_unit_heading"] = 121, ["max_unit_heading"] = 150, "min_unit_heading"] = 151, ["max_unit_heading"] = 180, "min_unit_heading"] = 181, ["max_unit_heading"] = 210, "min_unit_heading"] = 211, ["max_unit_heading"] = 240, "min_unit_heading"] = 241, ["max_unit_heading"] = 270, "min_unit_heading"] = 271, ["max_unit_heading"] = 300, "min_unit_heading"] = 301, ["max_unit_heading"] = 330, "min_unit_heading"] = 331, ["max_unit_heading"] = 360 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Got it: UNIT'S HEADING IN LIMITS params = 360 - Effective heading But it remains to know why it works this way?
