You can use the script box with a very easy scripting function to achieve the same results. :)

 

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(12345) == true then

--env.info('1, 2, 3, 4, 5... That is a combination an idiot would have on his luggage!')

return true

end

Hmmmm that's actually handy to know.

Hi Grimes,

Are you talking about the Advanced Waypoint Actions (AWA),,, Stop Condition -> Condition (LUA Predicate) dialog box?

 

In particular, I want to have an Orbit AWA that will go on and on until the Flag 58104 goes true. When that flag goes True then I want the a/c to stop orbiting and continue to the next waypoint.

 

Is this all that is needed in the Stop Condition's 'Condition (LUA Predicate)' dialog box -- ?

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(58104) == true then

return true

end

And that ^^^ by itself will cause the a/c to exit the orbit? That would be wonderful.

 

Thanks, WC

Hmm, didn't work.

 

I put this into the Advanced Waypoint Action for an Orbit Stop Condition, into the Condition (LUA Predicate) dialog box:

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(58104) == true then

return true

end

 

I also loaded Mist at the beginning of the mission and that did not help.

 

The Flag 58104 is being set True by another event. And other follow-on events that are based on this flag to trigger, so I know the Flag 58104 is really True.

 

What else do I need to do?

You may need to put the flag number in quotes to make it a string.

trigger.misc.getUserFlag('58104')

 

Also use env.info(trigger.misc.getUserFlag('58104')) to check what value is assigned to that flag in DCS.log to ensure that it returns a flag value and its the right value (true).

I am not having any success. The mission is attached. I'm not sure where to put the strings you provided -- I put them into the Stop Condition box. If you would take a look I'd be grateful.

 

When the Blue C-130 enters its orbit a Radio Item Add triggers and a message is displayed for 20 seconds. Wait >20 seconds before activating the radio call which sets Flag 58104 to True.

 

The Blue C-130 won't exit from its orbit. :-P

 

 

I searched the logs but found no match to 58104.

Derp on my part. It returns a number value, not a boolean.

 

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag('58104') == 1 then

return true

end

 

If a flag needs to be false it would need to equal (==) 0. Any true statement would be

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag('58104') > 0 then

[Wrecking Crew]

Now that you say it, doh, all my other flag examples use 0 or 1.

 

Thanks, Grimes.

 

(I was thinking the same thing -- this belongs in the Mission Builders Corner.)
