Formation "grading"

[Thisdale]

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to figure out a way to rate or grade formation flying by script.

 

When setting up AIs, you can tell them to escort and maintain a certain position around the escortee, but i'm trying to figure out the same method for Clients (players).

 

What i'd like to do is; be able to determine at which distance from the lead, each plane is flying.

For example;

Ideal position would be 5 meters aft and 2 meters behind.

So the ranking could be

4-6 aft and 1.5 to 2.5 behind = good position

6-8 aft and 2.5 to 5 behind = bad position

 

and so on...

 

 

 

Any idea?

This isn't that precise but UNIT INSIDE MOVING ZONE as part of a CONTINUOUS trigger set to increase a flag will check your relative position in a radius around the lead aircraft and increase your flag by 1 every second the condition is met. This could be used to set up a scoring system that determined how many seconds of the flight you were at a relative distance.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I didn't know you could use this on a moving target...

 

Do we have unlimited flags?

1-9999 by default. Using MIST you can go up to 5 digit flags I believe.

There is a airshow mission with the ka-50 module which scripts formation position warnings maybe you should take a look at this one.

What would you do to display each persons flag at the end.... say upon landing at the starting airfield?
