Can't believe this hasn't been played up more. What an excellent idea. ED should really release an option for something like this is every mission, similar to the traffic sliders in FSX. Not ALL missi

I could send it to you as soon I get home. Thanks to the guys who provided the airfield IDs for Nevada map I got it finally working in my mission.

 

I should warn you, though - there are numerous issues with taxiing paths on most of the airfields (the NTTR is still beta, remember?). The random traffic behavior is rather strange sometimes.

 

Some of the airplanes spawned already in the air just above the McCarran airport, some got stuck at taxiing - and I got a couple of game crashes.

 

So, as I said, I can share my lua, but I definitely wouldn't recommend using it until the NTTR gets AI taxiing waypoints fixed.

Great script, thanks SNAFU!

 

I've only tried Dami's virtual Sochi mission, and adjusted the interval to a slightly lower number. So far so good.

 

I was wondering, How would I go about increasing the number of helicopters in the aircraft that are spawned, or create a preference for certain civilian or transport aircraft over the military ones?

 

Thanks.

If you are using the lua I attached previously to my Virtual Sochi mission, I have bad news for you - I've modified the code so that it doesn't spawn any helis at all.

 

But if you use the stock script by SNAFU, I should notice that he has provided the whole code with useful comments. Let's try digging a little bit more.

 

There is a selfexplanatory variable in the lua file:

LogisticOrHeliOrFighter = math.random(1,3) //random for transport, heli or fighter

If I'm not mistaken, 1 is transport, 2 is heli and 3 is fighter.

 

 

Basically what it does on each loop is assigning a random number to the LogisticOrHeliOrFighter variable to decide which type of aircraft it will spawn next.

 

Below in the script you'll find big chunks of code starting with smth like that:

if LogisticOrHeliOrFighter == 1

If you want to spawn helis more frequently, I'd suggest adding additional number to the random()

LogisticOrHeliOrFighter = math.random(1,4)

Then if 2 means heli we sould look for this line

elseif LogisticOrHeliOrFighter == 2

and modify it so that it looks like

elseif (LogisticOrHeliOrFighter == 2 or LogisticOrHeliOrFighter == 4)

Don't forget the parentheses or you'll mess up everything.

 

What do we have now?

In the stock script possibility of spawning a heli on each iteration of the loop was ~33%. Now it should be 50% possibility of spawning a heli rather than any other type of aircraft.

 

But again, if you are using the code I modified for Virtual Sochi mission, look at this line:

elseif LogisticOrHeliOrFighter == 2
       then    
           LogisticOrHeliOrFighter = 3

...and now you know why there are no helis in my mission. :)

Eh SNAFU- just dropped in to see how this was going. Been on a variety of long hiatuses... I see you've been active in here within the month so that's great news!

 

Your script is a staple for my missions so I'm glad to see you still touch them up occasionally.

Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

This script keeps crashing my DCSW 1.5.5 after a while, and theres nothing obvious about the crash in the DCS.log file. Didn't manage to isolate event that causes crash.

Hi chrisofsweden, this is a known bug in the current DCS script environment. This happens with every script in 1.5.5 which gives AI any kind of tasking.

 

Nothing we can do about, only ED.

 

Anyway, I plan to overhaul the script totally, but only someday when 2.5 is out and ED shows some more consistency concerning its script environment.

 

In my opinion there is no use in mission building at all, if everything stands the very high chance to break with the next patch.

I concur. This is seems to receiving a lot of attention and I have no doubt that ED knows how important this is. You never know, maybe this is something that will included in future ME options. I am just doing some wishful thinking but I have faith.

Your scripts, however, are working perfectly. :)

 

Yes. I don't ever put any kind of bugs in my scripts :smartass::megalol:

Ah I see. I did not know this. Thanks! Do we have any specifics about exactly what with AI tasking scripts is causing trouble?

Any chance I could get a LUA for NTTR as well? Working on some missions for online play, and it does get a bit barren sometimes.

 

I'd like this aswell. Cant get anything to spawn? Code is supposed to fetch the ID's in the beginning of the script but nothing happens in Nevada. Works in Caucasus like a charm.

 

EDIT: Ok I worked it out the manual way to find the ID's and got it working. But the spawned flights won't go to the trafficzone. They skip that step. Any ideas?
