How can one make an Ai aircraft say something to the group, like in using a SayToGroup with custom messages (others than the ones from IL2 CoD) like function, please?

Refuel, repair, rearm (set actor's aircraft's fuel, ammo, health levels)?

Do damage to a random part of a plane (not using the limited Switch construction, which only allows damage to the parts listed in it, therefore a limited number)?

иконки наверное имеет смысл включить, ну или завтра "разведсводку" добавлю.

Hi, adonys. You can not use SayToGroup with custom messages - only those wich is already in game - with own sound.

Refuel, repair, rearm (set actor's aircraft's fuel, ammo, health levels)?

real refuel-rearming procedure takes at least 30 minutes, and our chief aircraft programmer said that it is more real to create new plane after landing then RRR it ...

Do damage to a random part of a plane (not using the limited Switch construction, which only allows damage to the parts listed in it, therefore a limited number)?

i'll try answer tomorrow

I've tested it, and it works, but it is still based on a list of airplane parts (and another for failure messages). Can't it be done in a simpler way, like in a MG function hit-random-airplane-part() ?

Question: How can I verify if an airplane's part was hit, or not?

Question: how AiAircraft.hitLimb(part.LimbNames.<linmb_name>) and AiAircraft.cutLimb(part.LimbNames.<linmb_name>) are working?

Question: how can we check an AirGroup AiAircraft Actor's characteristics (altitude, heading, speed, aircraft's type, etc)?

Request: Also, regarding actor messages, if there's no such a function, to allow custom messages be said by actors (as in SayToGroup), can't such a function be made, please?

Request: if there's no such function to force a mission's time, can't such a function be made, please?

Request: regarding the custom campaigns using the AddIn method, not every campaign designer is also a coder, can't a generic .dll be made, loading campaign's paths ( USER_PATH = "$user/mission/tst/campaign/" and PATH = "$home/parts/tst/mission/campaign/") from an easily editable text/xml file? (I for one don't have the Visual Studio 2010 installed on my PC, so I can't compile those)

Thanks!

I've made something like this:


I've tested it, and it works, but it is still based on a list of airplane parts (and another for failure messages). Can't it be done in a simpler way, like in a MG function hit-random-airplane-part() ?

No, there is no such fuction . We planed to brake plane parts not randomly, but according to situation

Question: How can I verify if an airplane's part was hit, or not?

no way now, may be we'll add it later . Now it is just integral plane health parameter.

Question: how AiAircraft.hitLimb(part.LimbNames.<linmb_name>) and AiAircraft.cutLimb(part.LimbNames.<linmb_name>) are working?

hitLimb just damages plane part and cutLimb - cut the part away from plane.

Question: how can we check an AirGroup AiAircraft Actor's characteristics (altitude, heading, speed, aircraft's type, etc)?

You can use getParameter function - it gives you big list of characteristics - position of control surfaces, gauges indication, health and so on. Type of plane afair something like "TypedName".

Request: Also, regarding actor messages, if there's no such a function, to allow custom messages be said by actors (as in SayToGroup), can't such a function be made, please?

ok, i transfer your request to programmers

Request: if there's no such function to force a mission's time, can't such a function be made, please?

no game time is very important parameter, and many things depends on it.

Request: regarding the custom campaigns using the AddIn method, not every campaign designer is also a coder, can't a generic .dll be made, loading campaign's paths ( USER_PATH = "$user/mission/tst/campaign/" and PATH = "$home/parts/tst/mission/campaign/") from an easily editable text/xml file? (I for one don't have the Visual Studio 2010 installed on my PC, so I can't compile those)

ok i'll try compile it. By the way there are some free C# compilers like Visual Studio Express you can use it

Do damage to a random part of a plane (not using the limited Switch construction, which only allows damage to the parts listed in it, therefore a limited number)?

i'll try answer tomorrow.
No, there is no such fuction . We planed to brake plane parts not randomly, but according to situation

I'm still waiting for that code (only if you had something different in your mind than the way I've did it in the above code), please.

hitLimb just damages plane part and cutLimb - cut the part away from plane.

Yeah, I knew that, but I couldn't make it work (I've tried with the AiAircraft.hitLimb(part.LimbNames.WingL0); and AiAircraft.cutLimb(part.LimbNames.WingL0);, but I couldn't managed it to work). Can you please tell my how?

You can use getParameter function - it gives you big list of characteristics - position of control surfaces, gauges indication, health and so on. Type of plane afair something like "TypedName".

Question: Can you explain this

int personIndex = GamePlay.gpPlayer().PlacePrimary();
                    if (personIndex < 0)
                        personIndex = GamePlay.gpPlayer().PlaceSecondary();
                    AiPerson person = (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() as AiCart).Person(personIndex);
                    if (person.Health <= 0)
                        return;
                    if (Campaign != null) {
                        if (Campaign.battleSuccess != null)
                            return;
                        Campaign.battleSuccess = true;
                    }
                    GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("MISSION COMPLETE");

piece of code, please? it makes no real sense to me. IT's from the official gb campain and can be found in several missions at the end of the inherited OnActorDead function (for example in the "Stuka Intercept.cs" script). It looks like is checking to see if the player is still alive.. yet.. why check a secondary place (I assume PlaceSecondary it's a second seat, like the gunner in a Stuka), as the player is in a single seated aircraft, and why the as AiCart part, instead as AiAircraft? Please have mercy and try to enlighten me


Regarding the "CustomSayToAirgroup" function, we need to can put text in mouth of existent actors (AiAircraft or AiCart), or general (for control tower/radar/etc. speaking).

A list of these characteristics would be wonderful, from where can I get the members of the getParameter class, please?

Thank you again for everything, you've been very kind, sir
