WAY-Points, sharing

[ADHS]

Hello.

 

I've setup 4 different groups with LATE ACTIVATION.

Every group, have been placed in different starting

point location with NO FURTHER WAYPOINTS,

besides their 1st one (birth waypoint numbered as 0).

 

A 5th GROUP with just 1 UNIT,

have been set to follow a route of 10 waypoints.

 

Is it possible to pass all the waypoints of the 5th group

to the rest 4, so no matter their starting location,

to start following the 10 waypoints route of the 5th ?

 

Meaning, if GROUPS can SHARE or EXCHANGE waypoints between them.

Thank you.

if the groups are AI, then yes, through script, using Moose. With AI, you can setup a route from a template.

 

Let me know if you need help, i’ll copy paste some code i’ve got.

Thank you for your reply my friend.

Yes, the groups are AI that i want them to "pop-up" in front of CLIENTS.

 

Please, do paste code as (i've just started with script and) i am still

balancing between MIST and MOOSE.

It will help me to understand:

1. That this can be done

2. And how this can be done

 

Thank you, again :thumbup:

 

PS: Please (if it is possible) be brief, not just headlines

as i want to understand how things works. Not looking

for a "ready solution".

In fact, if i understand how to transfer "properties"

from one group to another, it will open a wide horizon

ahead to all of the other classes and tables that DCS

is using "on-the-fly".

Here an example I use for player to ask a spoecific tanker route.

I got a Group, named "AAR Circuit", with a route setup. the group is "late activated". this is the template. Not used in game, just used to create the route with waypoint (and waypoint task, enroute task, etc...)

Then I search for the "real" IA group I want to modify the route, named "Texaco" , and setup the route

 

here is the code

 

TemplateRoute = GROUP:FindByName( "AAR Circuit")  -- Retrieve the wrapper.Group object, used as template
GROUP:FindByName( "Texaco" ):Route(TemplateRoute:GetTaskRoute())  --Copy the route to the IA group called Texaco

 

 

To use this code, you need to load moose file. You can find more details here, go directly to 6.2) Create your first Mission file

 

If you need more detail, don't hesitate, I'll explain more.

 

As you can see, the guys from Moose have done a great job, and a complex thing as copying route turn to be quite simple. Unfortunatly we can dop this on Player/client object :(

I’ll add that moose doc+sample mission are a good reference to understand how things work

Thank you for the explanation my friend. I got the point and the logic.:thumbup:

Sure Moose has been ahead. Sadly couldn't find details in Mist documendation

If i become familiar with classes, i am sure there will be a way for Client side as

they are using the same Group principles. In time :).....

 

Welcome to upload the example as it will be useful for others readers also.
