FUEL TRIGGER


Colmillo

Recommended Posts

Hi Pilots

I want to ask for your help. I have tried for several days to set up a mission that indicates when a plane (specifically the F18) has a certain amount of fuel. The idea is that a group does air refueling and when it has 10,000 for example, it notifies the rest of the airplanes that action.

I have tried with parameters, but I do not know which one to use from the list I found (clickabledata.lua), I also tried to use Arguments, but I can not get it.

Does anyone know the magic words?

 

Thank you very much in advance

Max fuel for the Hornet is XXXXX -> desired message comes when fuel level is YYYYY

 

So divide YYYYY by XXXXX to determine the decimal value. Then you'd do something along these lines. Disclaimer: I haven't tested this and I don't do a whole lot of .lua work.

 

Type:

3 CONTINUOUS (Fuel check at tanker, NO EVENT)

Conditions:

UNIT INSIDE MOVING ZONE (Hornet, Tanker, QuarterMile)

Triggered Actions:

DO SCRIPT (

if
Unit.getByName('Hornet'):getFuel = 0.7
then
trigger.action.setUserFlag(1, 1)

)

 

This checks the fuel state of a unit named "Hornet" when it is within a quarter-mile sized moving zone you have previously defined using the "create trigger zone" button and setting a 1/4 mile radius.

When the unit hits 70% of its total internal fuel, flag 1 is set to true. You can then create another trigger that looks for flag one to be true and performs an action using the GUI or use the outText and outSound functions if you want to contain the entire series of events to one script.

 

If you really want to dig in you can also do the unit spacing checks via script.

If you want to do anywhere I think the continuous condition would work not sure if you need a.zone to activate then it works continuously and sets the flag when the fuel hits the appropriate amount

I'm afraid this would require a full script in order to work as intended.

 

I've written scripts that accomplish similar things, problem is that you'll need basic Lua knowledge to understand them.

 

Using scripts, I was able to determine the amount of external fuel tanks on, say, an F15C (based on fuel quantity), then use fuel quantity checks while refuelling, in order to receive different kinds of messages (air refuelling "success" or "failure", basically), which took the number of external fuel tanks "detected" into account.

Flags and/or scheduler stoppers can be used to prevent those messages from showing all the time, which is probably what you want.

 

Spanish is one of my native languages, so, if you want to, I can show you the basics of Lua, that way you can create your own scripts and overcome the limitations of the Mission Editor.
