add radio item

[july865]

i am trying to activate, deactivate, enemy a/c by using "add radio item".

2 questions

with the flag that i set in the trigger list, how do i get the a/c to activate, de-activate by radio list? i have tried the past suggestions, but it seems this was re-worked in 1.2.0.

is this trigger still only available to the host? (without using slmod)

Yes its only available to the host. Whenever a user selects the an option, it turns the specified flag value to "on."

 

The trigger logic for what you are trying to accomplish is something like this>

Once>Time More than 1 second> Add Radio Item ("Activate Group 1", Flag 10")

 

Once> Flag 10 is true > Activate Group 1 && Add Radio Item ("Deactivate Group 1", Flag 11) && Radio Item remove ("Activate Group 1")

 

Once> Flag 11 is true > Deactivate Group 1

thanks grimes.

can i also get them to re-activate by doing this in reverse?

also looking forward to your great missions that you create. haven't seen one from you in a while.

Unfortunately you can't re-activate units in the sim. The best you can do is have several un-activated "copies" of the units and iterate the groups 1 at a time. I suppose it depends on the situation, if its ground units you can order them "AI OFF/ON". If its friendly aircraft assisting players you can order them to an orbit waypoint.

 

Yeah, hopefully I finish one of my mission projects soon. I keep coming up with ideas that are slightly beyond the mission editors capabilities. :D
