apolloace Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Question: I have 3 different SAM groups, selected for late activation in the ME. If I want to randomly select any 1 group to spawn at a random time, by setting a time limit range, then what will be the lua code? Can somebody please help..... :helpsmilie: Rig - I7-9700K/GIGABYTE Z390D/RTX-2080 SUPER/32-GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE RAM/1-TB SSD Mods - A10C / F18C / AV8B / Mig21 / Su33 / SC / F14B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chump Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Apolloace, assuming that you pre-defined the groups in the editor and set them all to delayed start, as well as defined the zone: NOTE: MiST makes this stuff super easy 1) Define a list of group names. local groupNames = {"Group1", "Group2", "Group3"}2) Choose a random group name. local groupName = groupNames[mist.random(#groupNames)]3) Figure out how many seconds from now that you want it to respawn. local randomTime = timer.getTime() + mist.random(120) // up to 120 seconds in the future4) You will need to have something that checks the current time to trigger the spawn. A simple approach would be to create a new scheduled function that fires immediately and checks each second thereafter. local timerNum = mist.scheduleFunction(checkTime, {groupName, randomTime}, timer.getTime(), 1)5) Create the new function that checks the current time against the desired spawn time. function checkTime(obj) if timer.getTime() >= obj.randomTime then mist.respawnInZone(obj.groupName, "myZone") end endThis should work, although it is from memory and not verified. There is some extra code that could be written to stop the timer. Please let me know if you have issues with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromium Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So my conclusion, given if i remove DAWS and use MIST run at mission time, is that its just MIST being called early that's the issue, since the code is all the same. Now...I know you said Chromium, that you tested it and it was working on .73, so if nothing else has changed, its the DCS version that does something different? I'm not going to revert a version to test, as much as I love my QA job here at Eagle Dynamics :) :) As from DAWS thread, I modified the code so that now integrated MIST version in DAWS is loaded at very first second of the mission, that should prevent the issue (it does in the attached test mission with last uploaded DAWS version). @Grimes: I know that this is something that don't belongs to you, but I can't do nothing from DAWS to prevent the double-loading of mist caused by mission designer loading mist code in a trigger (after DAWS). I don't know a way to prevent this in DAWS code. I'm asking you, if you can, to add that "mist is loaded" check in the MIST code, so that if a mist is already loaded it won't load itself again. Do you think it's possibile?DAWS_SM_AE_test3_teleport.miz Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Veteran66 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi all I look for a script plane group fires = Flag1 on The Plane Group is Bf-109K-4 i try this, but it will not work: local Plane = UNIT:FindByName( "Plane" ) Plane:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Shot ) --- -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData function Plane:OnEventShot(EventData) if EventData.WeaponName == "weapons.MG_131" then MESSAGE:New("Plane shot Gun",15,"Alert!"):ToAll() local Task = EventData.IniGroup:TaskOrbitCircle( 5000, 450 ) EventData.IniGroup:pushTask( Task, 30 ) end end German WW2 Radio calls Mod: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2161798/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The shot event is for all non rapid fire shell based weapons. You need to use the event shooting start. This event does not return any weapon data, only the initiator, but it will occur anytime a rapid fire gun is fired. You would need to either know the aircraft type and its associated MG ammo type or use world.searchObjects in the immediate area around the initiator aircraft to find the shell and get the name type. So take an M1 Abrams for example. The main cannon would produce a "SHOT" event with HE and AP shells. The coaxial and commander turret will create "SHOOTING START" and "SHOOTING STOP" events. In the case of aircraft that have more than one gun that can fire at a time, each one will create a shooting start/stop events. By the way it is not ideal to post questions related to a specific scripting library in a different scripting thread. In this case posting moose code in the mist thread. So while I will answer questions specifically related to the scripting engine in general here, I can't really help you with the moose side of things. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

ward8124 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 To save me from reading through 127 pages and is a daft question but does MIST need to be installed on the server or can I just install it to my local laptop create the mission and then export to a dedicated server?

Grimes Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It is a mission script. You add it as part of a trigger, usually Once> Time Less than 10> Do Script File(mist.lua) works quite well. So by adding to execute as part of a trigger it will automatically embed the mist file into the mission file. Once the trigger runs in the mission all of the mist functions and tables are globally accessible. Its up to you to make a script that uses it.

Subferro Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 At one point it looks like mist.respawnGroup() and related functions would return the new group name as a string, now it seems to return the group table. How can I get the new group name from this table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It should be as simple as: local newGroup = mist.respawnGroup([i]params[/i]) local newGroupName = newGroup.nameor local newGroupName = mist.respawnGroup([i]params[/i]).name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yappo Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 You are going to have to be more descriptive with your question. I don't understand what exactly you are asking. I have group 'g1' and uses this script: if not Group.getByName('g1') then mist.respawnGroup('g1', 100) end Respawn after 100s. In DCS 1.5 'g1' respawn at once. test.miz CPU: i7-8700K @5200MHz / RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 2x16GB @3500MHz CL15 / MB: ASUS PRIME Z370-A / GPU: ASUS STRIX RTX 2080 / DCS-Storage: Samsung 960Evo 500GB / Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog + T.Flight Rudder Pedals [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 @Yappo, I think you are misunderstanding the parameters. string mist.respawnGroup(string groupName, boolean/[b]number[/b] task/[b]taskDelay[/b])The group will always respawn immediately. If the taskDelay parameter is present, it will re-assign their original route after the specified number of seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subferro Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Are respawnInZone and teleportInZone working for player groups? I can respawn the player using the basic respawnGroup, but when I try to use respawnInZone I get "Err: Can't execute trigger. Err: "mist.respawnInZone('PlayerGroup', 'SpawnZone', false)" Substituting a non-player group works fine with no other changes to the syntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
