HELLO, THE MIX OF TRIAL NOT LEAVE NE HELICOPTERS NOT EVEN THE PLANE.

 

Sorry but I didn't understand what you mean..

[linuxmaster9 101]

Your script does not work. I keep getting the following error:

 

17:39:18 Error in expression <, 30, [10, 20, 40], refuel1, 450] spawn DEVAS_AirPatrol;
};
setViewDistance 2500>
17:39:18   Error position: <DEVAS_AirPatrol;
};
setViewDistance 2500>
17:39:18   Error Undefined variable in expression: devas_airpatrol
17:39:18 File C:\Users\Ian\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\[FTS]KRDucky\mpmissions\devostest.lingor3\init.sqf, line 4

 

This is what the init.sqf currently looks like:

[] execVM "AirPatrol\AirPatrolInit.sqf";

if (isServer) then 
{
	_handle = [[Texan1, Texan2], [["pos1", 280], ["pos2", 250], ["pos3", 200], ["pos4", 200], ["pos5", 200], 1500, 200, 30, [10, 30, 60], refuel1, 150]] spawn DEVAS_AirPatrol;
};

I have also tried this:

if (isServer) then {

	[] execVM "AirPatrol\AirPatrolInit.sqf"; 
	_handle = [Texan1, [["pos1", 150], ["pos2", 250], ["pos3", 350], ["pos4", 450], ["pos5", 300]], 1500, 280, 30, [10, 20, 40], refuel1, 450] spawn DEVAS_AirPatrol;
	};
setViewDistance 2500;

 

[Devastator_cm 434]

put a sleep in between if you start patrol right after initialization.

Copy paste following to your init.sqf and try

 

if (isServer) then 
{ 
    
    [] execVM "AirPatrol\AirPatrolInit.sqf";
    sleep 1;
    _handle = [Texan1, [["pos1", 150], ["pos2", 250], ["pos3", 350], ["pos4", 450], ["pos5", 300]], 1500, 280, 30, [10, 20, 40], refuel1, 450] spawn DEVAS_AirPatrol;
};

p.s. it is used for single vehicle so doing 

[Texan1, Texan2]

will never work

now I get the following:

It looks like you are passing the group name (Texan1) instead of the vehicle name and I wrote in ReadMe file that it should be vehicle name and also in my sample mission I pass vehicle name... 

 

From read me
 

Spoiler

 

The code parameters in the script-call are:

1. Aircraft's variable name

By variable name do you mean Classname? Because the variable name of the plane is Texan1. There is no group of vehicles.

[Devastator_cm 434]

please send me a screenshot how you set the texan1 or send me your  mission file or check how I did the setup in sample mission

Mission File

 

Looks like you 

1- Didn't listen what I wrote in my previous answers

2- Didn't check the sample mission which I prepared 

3- Didn't read the readme file

 

You put a name to the Group as Texan1.
I wrote clearly in read me and you can also see in sample missiona and you can also see in my replies to you it is not the way how it works.

You need to put the Texan1 as variable_name to the object which is the airplane and not the group and I wrote it man

I swear that I did when I placed the plane itself. I placed the name of the plane as Texan1. I did NOT group the plane. I double checked the plane in the editor and it said that the plane variable name was Texan1

[Devastator_cm 434]

ok sh*t happens.

Now it works or?

ill have to check. I just got back from work.

[linuxmaster9 101]

seems to work now. thanks for pointing that out.

[teddymosart1 40]

Could you consider making this as a mod for the SP-players,please ?  Don`t care for fidelling with scripts and adding things myself.And a lot of others don`t mind very small mods,even if they have large packs. Thank you.

it is already for SP. its also for MP

[SnakeDocc 72]

Is this script compatible with jets dlc?

[Devastator_cm 434]

I don't see any reason why it should not be :)

[MK84 42]

Encountered an issue with the script. It works when the aircraft is pre-spawned in editor. But when I spawn the aircraft via trigger it refuses to land when low on fuel. It just fly around in circles at the base waypoint.

This is the code I used in the trigger.

cap1_1 = createVehicle ["rhs_mig29s_vvs", getpos cap1_spawn, [],0,"NONE"];
cap1_1 setDir (getDir cap1_spawn);
createVehicleCrew cap1_1;
_handle = [cap1_1, [["cap1_wp1", 2000], ["cap1_wp2", 2000], ["cap1_wp3", 2000], ["cap1_wp4", 2000]], 3500, 400, 30, [10, 30, 60], airbase1, 150] spawn DEVAS_AirPatrol;

Any ideas @Devastator_cm?

[Devastator_cm 434]

what is exactly cap1_spawn? Is it a marker?

 

Try this I rewrite with markers 

 

_pos = getMarkerPos ["cap1_spawn", false];  
_pos set [2, 100];  
_cap1_1 = createVehicle ["rhs_mig29s_vvs", _pos, [], 0, "FLY"];
createVehicleCrew _cap1_1; 
_handle = [_cap1_1, [["cap1_wp_1", 2000], ["cap1_wp_2", 2000], ["cap1_wp_3", 2000], ["cap1_wp_4", 2000]], 3500, 400, 30, [10, 30, 60], airbase1, 150] spawn DEVAS_AirPatrol;
 

btw in your code there were so many weird characters for text. I think it was not UTF charachterset. So it is better if you do copy paste the texts which I have sent

Odd, I copied and paste the code directly from Notepad++, which was set to UTF.

Anyway, cap1_spawn is a grasscutter object that I use as a spawn marker.

I tried your rewrite, issue still persists. The aircraft just loiters around once they reached the TR UNLOAD waypoint in the script AirPatrolService.sqf. It works when they're already pre-spawned in editor. The issue comes up when the aircraft is spawned via trigger/script/debug window. 

[Devastator_cm 434]

I spawned the aircraft like in above code and it works fine. Use markers for spawn point like I did

The aircraft spawned fine. It's when they're low and fuel and RTB that's the part that didn't work. They just loiter over the last waypoint instead of landing and refueling.

Anyway found a workaround for the issue using landAt command instead. It works now.

[Devastator_cm 434]

hmmm maybe I have a bug for airplanes. It works for helicopters but looks like failing by airplanes 😕
