yep got it :) Do you know if i can retrieve player's aricraft name ? And i have a another question aswell, i'd like to do a polygonal zone i know it's possible with ATME but i don't know how

thank you !

Hi,

 

yes of course, object:getName() does that. But the best way, is to look french documentation here :https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3001633&postcount=1

This works for groups and static objects too.

 

You can find object form its name with ATME.C_Group.getByName(name) for groups, ATME.C_AIUnit.getByName(name) for AI units and ATME.C_Player.getByName(name) for players.

 

You have lot of functions like positions, altitude, relative positions (isNear, crossAxisFromLeftToRight etc..), fire flares & smokes, load/unload troops in personnel carrier , attributes (isSam, isAirplane) for AI units or groups, etc....

 

For polygon, not yet, but i'm working on it. So I hope soon.

be aware, a Group ( airplane Group) unfact there is only One aircraft inside

is not the same than the AIunit inside.

a Group can have one or more Unit.

 

 

local playerUnit = player:getDCSUnit()

local nameUnit = playerUnit:getName()

local Callsign = playerUnit:getCallsign()

local Group = playerUnit:getGroup()

local Groupname = Group:getName()

 

player:display("Player Unit Name is "..nameUnit ,25)

player:display("Player Callsign Name is "..Callsign ,25)

player:display("PlayerAircraft groupeName is "..Groupname ,25)

Thanks guys, hopefully i've got what i need ! thanks a lot

Is there anyway to set AWACS and Refueling aircrafts to unlimited fuel without setting it for everyone else ?

[sunski34]

ATME don't do and will not do that.

 

As I said, I think the best way is to read ATME documentation, you will see ATME abilities. After if you have specific questions tell us.

Ok i've got a new problem right now everything is working when i spawn in aircrafts on the ground or in the air but from the russian aircraft carrier i've got this

 

I tried recreating a mission with no script (only atme core and then ATME.run("FR")) and only the carrier + a su 33 to spawn in. Same problem so i believe this is not comming from my scripts. Any idea ?

[sunski34]

Hi,

 

I never test that case (just having ATME Core) because you must have your own module script after ATME Core (at least one). So if I find the same problem I will add what is necessary in ATME Core to have no problem. I will tell you if I confirm that issue and will fixed ASAP.

 

If you want to try, download ATME_basicmodel.lua here https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3001608&postcount=1 and had it after ATME Core using clone.

 

See image below and replace ATME_HelloWorld.lua by ATME_basicmodel.lua which does nothing. That should work.

 

here a short video :

 

Hope that help.

Exact same thing with empty mission(only the aircraft carrier and the sEDITu33), ATME core could be corrupted ?

EDIT: i tried with basic model and a new Core file it's still not working when spawning on the aircraft carrier

Thank you apreciate that, works perfectly !

easily usable script module to your mission Case III Operations or Night Landing

 

an easy usable script you can use for all your Hornet F18 or AV8 DCS mission. Case III Operations

or Night Landing

 

it gives you Boat and ATIS information ( runway HDG, speed, wind ... )

 

for landing on boat

 

the script is all commented both french and English

2 missions one running ATME in English language the second in French language.

 

works fine with ATME v145.

Hi all, I use your ATME_Race, it works very well. but i'm a newbie about .Lua.

Can I check if the pylon passage is correct and display the "pylon OK" message?

Thx

 

EDIT: PROBLEMS SOLVED. I've added intermediated time for every pylon. if you don't see time, the pylon is wrong.

 

Your scripts is amazing, thx of lot!!!
