Wingman as spotter reports enemy per subtitle?

[kraut1]

Hi All,

Beginner question about single player offline missions:

I would like get some warnings about enemy planes without watching the symbols on the map.

Is it possible to define a wingman as spotter with e.g: radius 4000m and connect translator:Subtitle that gives a subbtitle e.gt.: "Danger, enemy planes closing!"?

Should be a simple, primitive solution that can be added to PWCG Mission.

Best regards

Interesting.

I think you would need to activate and deactivate check zones along the player's route. So only one check zone is active at a time. So you'd need to layer them. One checks for the player and activates the check zone that is looking for enemies. Those in turn linked to the text MCU.

 

Maybe there's another way.

 

 

 

Oops - there's the better way as per Jim!

Thanks for your Suggestion:

 

I tried a test Mission:

-Player in a german BF109F4

-1 Pe2 (russian / AI) about 8km distance

-proximity Trigger: purpose: all russian planes closer than 7000m to be detected

      proximity type closer, Distance 7000m, Plane coalitions Allies = true, Axis/neutral = false

      object: Players plane, target: translator:subtitle

-translator subtitle: Axis=true, Allies/neutral false, Duration 20; font size 40; Center; Center; 0,0,0 (black?); text ACHTUNG

 

But it does not work (no ACHTUNG if I am closer than 7000m), does anybody know what I did wrong?

Best regards

Did you trigger the proximity trigger to start it detecting objects (step 4 in the manual)?

This was my mistake.

Many thanks for your help!

I will try to use it for getting informations by wingmen / escorted Bombers.

Hi All,

Current state of my attempt to get Information via subtitle and not to use the plane Icons on the map:

(I like IL2 1946 Command & Control by Checkyersix)

Working test Mission:

 

-4 proximity Triggers for bigger distances to enemys with subtitles: "Jaegerleitstelle Feindflugzeuge in xx km Entfernung" (30km, 20km, 10km, 5km),

(translated: "Ground Control: Enemy planes in XXkm range"

 

-Proximity Trigger for warning by wingmen of near enemy planes, (only if a (german) fellow plane is closer than 1900m:

 The Proximity Trigger that activates the warning subtitle is activated by another Trigger if a Axis planes are closer than 1900m and deactivated if the Axis planes farther than 2000m

 

Best regards
