mono6020 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 My guess is your are defining the zones incorrectly. Should work and works in my missions. here is the code: SZ1=ZONE_POLYGON:New("SAM1",GROUP:FindByName("SAMZONE1")) SZ2=ZONE_POLYGON:New("SAM2",GROUP:FindByName("SAMZONE2")) SZ3=ZONE_POLYGON:New("SAM3",GROUP:FindByName("SAMZONE3")) SAMZones={SZ1,SZ2,SZ3} Spawn_SAM1=SPAWN:New("SA6"):InitLimit(6,10):InitRandomizeZones(SAMZones):SpawnScheduled(14400,0.5) the randomization of the zones works as expected, but whatever zone gets chosen on start the location within the zone always seems to be on the same spot per zone. i even write down the coordinates and sure enough after a few restarts it spawns on the exact same corrdinates again. this is true for all 3 zones. could it be a coincidence?

Delta99 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 here is the code: SZ1=ZONE_POLYGON:New("SAM1",GROUP:FindByName("SAMZONE1")) SZ2=ZONE_POLYGON:New("SAM2",GROUP:FindByName("SAMZONE2")) SZ3=ZONE_POLYGON:New("SAM3",GROUP:FindByName("SAMZONE3")) SAMZones={SZ1,SZ2,SZ3} Spawn_SAM1=SPAWN:New("SA6"):InitLimit(6,10):InitRandomizeZones(SAMZones):SpawnScheduled(14400,0.5) the randomization of the zones works as expected, but whatever zone gets chosen on start the location within the zone always seems to be on the same spot per zone. i even write down the coordinates and sure enough after a few restarts it spawns on the exact same corrdinates again. this is true for all 3 zones. could it be a coincidence? Very strange. Try it with a regular Spawn() and remove the SpawnScheduled. Somehow could be due to SpawnScheduled messing something up??!!

Wood Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Hi All Any chance on getting some help on this. I've been trying to setup the Airboss with no luck. I did get the Tanker, Awacs and Rescue Helo to work but no recovery window, as well as the menu window operation in F10. Any help would definitely be appreciated. Here is the script I'm using for Creating the airboss. local AirbossStennis=AIRBOSS:New("USS Eisenhower", "Eisenhower" ) local window1=AirbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow( "10:30", "14:55", 1, nil, true) local window2=AirbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("15:00", "20:55", 2, nil, false) local window3=AirbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("21:00", "06:00+1", 3, nil, false) --- AirbossStennis:SetSoundfilesFolder("Airboss Soundfiles/") AirbossStennis:SetMenuSingleCarrier() AirbossStennis:SetMenuRecovery(30, 20, true) AirbossStennis:SetDespawnOnEngineShutdown() AirbossStennis:Load() AirbossStennis:SetAutoSave() AirbossStennis:SetHandleAIOFF() AirbossStennis:SetTrapSheet() AirbossStennis:SetTACAN(57, "X", "IKE") AirbossStennis:SetICLS(12, "IKE") AirbossStennis:SetMarshalRadio(244, "AM") AirbossStennis:SetLSORadio(266, "AM") AirbossStennis:SetRadioRelayLSO("E-2D Wizard Group") AirbossStennis:SetRadioRelayMarshal("Rescue Helo") AirbossStennis:SetHandleAIOFF() AirbossStennis:Start(15) Thanks in advance Edited November 21, 2019 by Wood [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Wood, Airboss will tell you what it did with your recovery window in the dcs.log. Hit CTRL+F "recovery window" with the dcs.log open in a text editor and read through what it said. It will tell you something that will help you.

MobiSev Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 is it possible to get ai ground units to transport troops using this script? For example, I would like to be able to control an apc using Combined Arms, order it pick up troops, manually place a waypoint for the APC in the Tac commander slot (i.e. not use a predefined waypoint in the mission editor), and have the ability to decide when that vehicle unloads the troops (could be a random place. again, not a predefined trigger zone in the mission editor) Modules owned: FC3, M-2000C, Mig-21bis, F-5E, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, KA-50, Mi-8, F-14A&B, JF-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS_DEVELOP/Documentation/AI.AI_Cargo.html Cargo is not the strongest of MOOSE's modules, invariably something always breaking here, but on paper there is a lot of effort that has been done to it which does what you say and I've seen plenty of modules that do. However, let me be outrageous and suggest a better alternative, CTLD. Yes, this is a moose thread, I have supported people for years using Moose but I would never tell someone to do something complex if I coudl get away with doing it simpler. Which means, for infantry, some behicles, CTLD is the best standalone way to accomplish that. is it possible to get ai ground units to transport troops using this script?

egami Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi all, I'm racking my brain on this and need some advice/help/slap in the face. Basically, this airport should just go back and forth. The Blue A-10's will eliminate the red ground units, spawn a blue C130 which will fly over the airport and spawn blue units and red A-10's and the process will just rinse and repeat, all day, every day. To do some troubleshooting, I took some code from the MOOSE DOC Missions and changed a few names to reflect my naming convention but the log file does not recognize that the C130's spawned. On the game, the C130 has a name of C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE#001. I think this is what the problem is, so how do I dynamically grab these numbers? Here's the code.. C130_NORTHLASVEGAS = ZONE:New("C130_NORTHLASVEGAS") local C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE = GROUP:FindByName("C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE") local C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_RED = GROUP:FindByName("C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_RED") local Schedule, ScheduleID = SCHEDULER:New( nil, function (C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE, C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_RED) local IsAliveC130Blue = C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE:IsAlive() local IsAliveC130Red = C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_RED:IsAlive() BASE:E ( { IsAliveC130Blue = IsAliveC130Blue, IsAliveC130Red = IsAliveC130Red } ) end, { C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE, C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_RED }, 1, 1 ) Logfile 2019-12-19 18:01:34.733 ERROR wInfo: can't open Objects[AMERICANBOXWOOD] table 2019-12-19 18:01:34.743 INFO SCRIPTING: 11912( 11814)/I: DATABASE00003._RegisterGroupTemplate({[Coalition]=2,[Category]=0,[Group]=C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE#001,[Country]=2,[units]={[1]=C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE#001-01,},}) 2019-12-19 18:01:34.744 INFO SCRIPTING: 11723( 11825)/I: DATABASE00003.AddGroup({[1]=Add GROUP:,[2]=C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE#001,}) 2019-12-19 18:01:34.744 INFO SCRIPTING: 11401( 11827)/I: DATABASE00003.AddUnit({[1]=Add UNIT:,[2]=C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE#001-01,}) 2019-12-19 18:01:34.943 INFO SCRIPTING: 14( -1)/E: BASE00000.function({[isAliveC130Red]=false,[isAliveC130Blue]=false,}) 2019-12-19 18:01:41.147 WARNING LOG: 6 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2019-12-19 18:01:41.147 INFO SCRIPTING: 5657( -1)/I: SCHEDULEDISPATCHER00002.function(<<<>New:26079 (C:\Users\bobbi\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\/~mis00002012.lua)) 2019-12-19 18:01:42.015 INFO SCRIPTING: 14( -1)/E: BASE00000.function({[isAliveC130Red]=false,[isAliveC130Blue]=false,}) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A101Wayz Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Is "C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE" and "..._RED" late activated in the ME?

Hardcard Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) @egami You might want to post the mission file + script + dcs.log As for C130_NORTHLASVEGAS_BLUE#001, this indexing is done automatically by DCS every time a new group / unit with an already existing name spawns. The rule of thumb here is to never use :FindByName() with late activated groups / units (at least in MOOSE). In order to work with such groups / units, you'll need to either store each object on spawn or include it in a set afterwards. :OnSpawnGroup() is your new friend, it will allow you to work with late activated groups / units. Here is an example of my latest use of :OnSpawnGroup(). I store the group objects in a table and task them to attack me as soon as they spawn. local Bandit_Table = {"Bandit_Tomcat_grp" , "Bandit_Hornet_grp", "Bandit_Eagle_grp", "Bandit_Viper_grp", "Bandit_Mirage_grp", "Bandit_Jeff_grp"} local SpawnGroup_Table = {} local RandomSpawnGroup = SPAWN:New(Bandit_Table[math.random(1,6)]) :OnSpawnGroup( [color="Blue"]-- It allows me to inject the function below[/color] function(SpawnGroup) [color="Blue"]-- SpawnGroup is the spawned group MOOSE object[/color] table.insert(SpawnGroup_Table, SpawnGroup) [color="Blue"]-- I insert the spawned group object in SpawnGroup_Table, for later use[/color] local Player_Attack = SpawnGroup:TaskAttackUnit(Client_Object,true) SpawnGroup:PushTask(Player_Attack) end [color="blue"]-- end of the injected function[/color] ) [color="Blue"]-- close :OnSpawnGroup parenthesis[/color] RandomSpawnGroup:Spawn() Edited December 20, 2019 by Hardcard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonesvf103 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 OK, so it's for adding more realistic features or for facilitating mission writing/editing? If you download a MOOSE mission can you run it if you don't have MOOSE? Thanks. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Tippis Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 MOOSE is something you do not in any way have to worry or think about if you don't intend to do your own dynamic and/or highly interactive missions. It's a bunch of Lua tools — a script file — that the mission creator loads into the mission and calls upon to make various fancy things happen within that mission. It is included in the mission file — it's not a mod or plugin or anything like that. It's simply a mission resource the same as voice-over or radio sounds, or localised text or briefing and kneeboard art. The .mis file (which is really just a zip file) contains it all for immediate use. As an end-user of the mission, all you need to worry about is what nasty surprises the mission-creator has in store for you using those tools. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies. You are a Goon. ❧ ❧ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 What is MOOSE exactly? It's a scripting framework, that facilitates the programming of advanced scripting that can be run within a DCS mission. Is that something that has to be set up as a mod No, it is not a Mod. It is added to a mission with the Mission Editor and it's stored within the MIZ file, so anyone using the mission does not need to concern with Moose; however the mission author does need to know how to use Moose. or can it run "out of the box"? Not really, as you do need to study a lot to learn how to make use of it and a computer programming background is helpful.

Wrench Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I've noticed that SET_STATIC:New():FilterStart() doesn't get static objects dynamically added with scripts other than MOOSE, and I need this to play nice with CTLD. Is there another command that will look for all static objects which currently exist? Carrier Script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcard Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) @Wrench From what I've seen, MOOSE sets aren't always updated when using :FilterStart() To work around this problem, I use :FilterOnce() instead, but that requires either placing the set variable inside a scheduler or inside functions that can be repeatedly called via F10 menu. Aside from this, that snippet that you posted doesn't have a filter defined, I think that you need to specify the filtering method first... I normally use a prefix filter, works fine.
