The goal of the script is every time a unit is killed it will a) detect the event, b) figure out its type and coalition, c) Increase the value of a sides point tracking flag, d) display a message that said event occurred e) Display the total number of points every few minutes.

 

What I need help with is I haven't got the messages working and I'm not actually sure of a good way to check and see if the value of the point flags is increasing correctly as well. Secondly, I'd like to get a message system working that can also only send the message to the player that killed said unit but i'm not sure how that's even possible. I am very new to both DCS scripting and lua so forgive me if its a bunch of stupid mistakes I made.

 

Code:

 

 

--setup
env.setErrorMessageBoxEnabled(false)

--Setup Messages Used

Killmessage 		= "UNIT KILLED! ";
KilledUnit 			= "Killed - ";
K_lightunit			= "Light Vehicle";
K_APCunit 			= "APC";
K_IFVunit 			= "IFV";
K_APC_missile_unit  = "APC with AT Missile";
K_IFV_missile_unit  = "IFV with AT Missile";
K_TDLTunit 			= "TD/LT";
K_MBTunit			= "MBT";
K_Artillery 		= "Arty";
K_AAAunit 			= "AAA";
K_IRSAMunit 		= "IR SHORAD";
K_SRadar			= "Radar SHORD";
K_MRadar			= "Medium Range SAM Radar";
K_LRadar  			= "Long Range SAM Radar";
K_Luancher	 		= "Launcher";
K_Lheli				= "Light Helicopter";
K_Mheli				= "Transport Helicopter";
K_Aheli				= "Attack Helicopter";
K_Fighter			= "Fighter";
K_Mrole				= "Fixed Wing Multirole";

Hi

 

The coding can be done in lua . I setup a separate variable inside of lua just to keep score.

Then you create event handlers to check to see if anything is the "DEAD" state.

 

Well the rest you can dig up and keep reading as it's online somewhere.

I don't know enough about scripting straight in Lua.

 

I'm thinking you might be way better off doing this with MOOSE tho.

 

The guy's have set all this up in moose. You just call the Function you need.

 

All of them

SCORING:SetMessagesToCoalition()

Configure to send messages to only those players within the same coalition as the player.

 

looks like with online play, you can send to all. Not a separate spawned unit?

I have been using glogg logger and it will give you instantaneous results at the bottom. Also it filters by such words as SCRIPTING and highlights them in colors that you choose. Makes going through logs much easier to read.
