Man down...

[Midnight]

I've been setting my scenario up for A-10 CSAR and the A-10 in the sim can't ADF like the Huey and KA-50, so no. My ultimate plan is to have the unit transmit calls on guard but will simulate the position coming from a CSEL transmitter (so comm sat GPS coordinates related from AWACS) vs. ADF. Wish it could work though for the A-10...would be cool.

 

Hey man...thanks for your work on this.

 

Been following this post with interest. I made a small mission using some of your code and came quite close to what I want to achieve.

 

SITREP: Pilot flying in multiplayer got shot down and ejected. Huey pilot see the message with co-ords and sets his FM for homing on downed pilot freq.

He then flies to pilot and pick him up.

 

Notes: This I think can be set for all players(aircraft units) in a multiplayer mission. First put a enemy unit in mission to shoot down KA50(forgot that

) Spawn in KA and get shot down-Eject. Then spawn in Huey and home on pilot.

Issues:

*You will see I created a new "soldier" with tasking that can transmit a signal, I want this coding to be on your unit that spawns randomly. HOW?

 

*What will this LUA file look like? (can I just copy and paste from .miz file and create new LUA?) not sure I'm making myself clear here.

 

Thanks again for your work on this.

I try this also and it seems that the spawned unit can't transmit in FM so that the Huey can spot it.

Anyone knows how to solve this? :helpsmilie:

Pilot Down

 

Had another go at it. This time I got some errors in script. My intention was as follows:

 

I created a mission with only one troop in it, gave him commands to send FM signal and such. I then extracted the LUA and copied the the soldier propperties to the soldier of the previous mission.

 

I then subsequently got some errors with the code, strange since the code worked in original. All this tells me is that I will have to get the coding done correctly.

 

 

Amy one here that know some coding would be a great help.

I wish we could get this squared away a bit more... my one mission is still stalled until we can get it sorted.

 

Joyride, I'm trying to use this script you have created to do your sar test mission... I'm trying to strip out your use of the rescue helicopter but I simply don't know the code well enough to know where the chopper code ends and the pertinent stuff about the soldier begins.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

WOLLE sorted this problem...thank goodness!

This really does open up some possibilities- but I still have a struggle ahead of me in terms of interpretting what each section of that script does.

 

I don't mind doing my own homework either- but later (I'm just coming off night shift) if I post sections of code I'd really, REALLY appreciate it if someone might be able to help me through it so I know what I'm putting in and how to use it.

So is the key part this?

 

trigger.action.radioTransmission('VHF_WarningTone.wav', PilotPosition, 0, true, 250000, 1000);

 

Is that the key to adding a radio transmission?

 

According to the scripting engine wiki:

 

 function trigger.action.radioTransmission(string fileName, Vec3 point, enum radio.modulation modulation, boolean loop, number frequency, number power) 
transmits audio file to broadcast.

fileName
name of audio file. The file must be packed into the mission archive (miz).

point
position of the transmitter

modulation
modulation of the transmission

loop
indicates if the transmission is looped or not

frequency
transmitter frequency in Hz

power
transmitter power in Watts

 

So I am not sure how long the transmission lasts and has to be repeated. POssibly as long as the .wav file is active/playing?

[Midnight]

loop indicates if the transmission is looped or not (how long it plays)

I have completed my mission where a downed pilot has to be picked up, now I want to clean up the script so it can be used in multiple missions by just loading the script file.

 

Anyone that can help me with this?

PM me please

 

Thanks

I am part way into something similar. I have a script that detects any eject event and spawns a pilot for that event, provides lat/lon for the downed pilot in a text radio message and (I think) a transponder freq for someone to home in on. At a set distance from the SAR unit, the downed unit will pop a flare and at a closer distance, pop smoke. My next steps are to get the pilot on board and possible spawn a recovery team to go get him/her.

 

It's coming together but there are few issues to clean up and a lot of features to finish.
