Complete transport script

[Wrench]

I just checked, double checked, triple checked, and then checked all the checks I just checked. Everything is right to my understanding. No F10.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Maybe the space?

 

Try infantry1

 

Or use default helicargo and extract first and then other names.

[Wrench]

Okay, I found a bit of a workaround. I removed the space from "infantry 1" to "infantry1" and use the standalone pre-load script to load one troop in my helo 5 seconds after mission start. After that, the F10 shows up.

Link to the mission is here.

Its V2.0 Beta.

Hmm it should work the way you have it set up.

 

Sometimes the mission editor doesn't update the script file when you add it again.

 

You can try editing the CTTS lua file, rename your mission .zip, copy in the edited lua file, and then rename the mission back to .miz. It should then open fine in the mission editor and you know that the lua file is definitely updated :)

Roger, I'll try that, thanks.

[Wrench]

Well, I still need the extra trigger, but at least it works.

[Bananabrai]

First of all, I would like to thank you for the great script. It works fine with my mission, no shutdowns or crashes.

But I have one small problem with it. I want to let some friends extract 3 renegades/double agents with the Huey.

So there are 3 Georgian soldiers which have specific group name (i used the default one "extract1", because the script crashes, if i change something in the script).

But when I unload the troops, they have no groupname left and they are 3 american M4_soldiers.

 

Any solutions for that problem? In my case, i can't trigger the mission as completed. I wanted to let them out in a specific area and deactivate them by trigger.

Yes, there is a problem with the CTTS. Try instead the CTLD.lua script, it is an update of the CTTS and has more features... and this bug is fixed.

 

The script, has some adventages like, you can deploy whatever units you want, also manpads and mortars. You also have smoke markers, and a great sling cargo script.... check it.

I tried the CTLD script now and one of the problems is solved, they stay the same type of units now.

But after unload they have another group name, so i can't deactivate them by trigger.

It was something like "Dropped Group #256" or so.

 

Any suggestions?

Oops, my fault.

 

I'm working on a fix now so groups, no matter how many times they are loaded and unloaded keep their correct country, unitId, name, group ID and group name so they should work with triggers again

Fixed and uploaded to github - https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD

 

Any extracted unit will keep the unit Id's, unit names, group names and group Id no matter how many times they are extracted or picked up.

 

There is a new test for this in the sample mission. If you pickup the group in the screenshot attached and drop them in the zone just to the west, it'll trigger a continuous action that was added by the mission editor. You can keep picking them up and dropping them off to trigger the action.

 

I've also added an AI C-130 for testing automatic vehicle drops.

 

Let me know if you have any problems! :thumbup:

Thanks a lot

 

I had no time to try it out yet, but I'll try it next week and I'll let you know, if it works.

 

Greetings, see you in the air.

Thank you so much!!! ive spent 5+ hours trying to figure it out on my own :P

guess I just needed to search a little harder.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Glad to help you. All credits to Ciribob.

Is there any way to specify what kind of troops to spawn for the trans.mis. at pickzones or even among the extractable unit spawns?

 

For example in the mission I'm making for private use I want to spawn only groups of 2 Igla soldiers to set them off at random points so they can help me with enemy jet fighters. Or can I get the next group only if I drop the first off at dropzones?

 

Tnx!

Hi,

 

I tried this CTTS script. Everything works OK, but. I think that this doesn´t add weight to the helicopter. I loaded 50 troops and I don´t feel any adition mass weight of that troops. The same is with logistics crates, no adition weight. Is it OK?

[wolf5]

With the script, it's normal.

If you want to add weight, you have to use the embarking function of the game.

But it doesn't work in MP.

[knapsak]

I found something interesting happen to the CLTD menu entry when I add my own entry to the radio f10 menu by a trigger or event in game it removes the ctld entries but if you rejoin the aircraft it comes back.

[lukynoo92]

But I want something, that adds me addition weight to helicopter in multiplayer. I wanna create mission, where we fly helicopters around map to created FARP, but I want, that we transport some cargoes and troops, so I wanna addition weight to the helicopter in multiplayer.

As said before: currently DCS does not support adding weight to Multiplayer units. Picking up external cargo does, though.

The script/triggers to add weight have an effect on the HOST of a multiplayer session, only.

Same currently applies to setting failures, switching in-cockpit buttons, circuit breakers etc. All effect the host only.

I thing CTTS_CiribobEdit no run more in 1.5.2 :(
