Mission Editor - Flag Capture Events No Longer Respond

[JimTM]

Brief description:

 

    Flag capture events OnFlagCapturedBy01 (Russians) and OnFlagCapturedBy02 (Germans) no longer respond.

 

Detailed description, conditions:

 

    I tried a mission with just the flag and a player plane, in SP and MP, and triggered "Captured by..." subtitle translators with the OnFlagCapturedBy01 (Russians) and OnFlagCapturedBy02 (Germans) events. I also set up subtitle translators
    for the blocked and unblocked events. Neither test mission produced a "Captured" message (but they did produce the "Blocked" and "Unblocked" messages). See the attached MP mission.

 

    I also tested the flag response using the (previously working) MP mission from 'Create a "Capture-the-Flag" Scenario', on pg. 137 of the IL-2 Sturmovik Mission Editor and Multiplayer Server Manual and I had the same problem.
    This mission is part of the sample missions, available from the link just given.

Jim, is the mission in your zip file ?

[JimTM]

The simple test mission is in the zip file attached to this post. The "Capture the Flag" mission is in the sample missions available with the editor manual.

[Habu]

Ok Jim. I'm going to have a look.

 

Edit : Jim, i can't test in MP, i 'll change it to SP and test it.

Jim, in your mission, player is in tank, and you don't check the settings Check vehicle on the flag object.

 

I did test in SP with plane and vehicles, and i had message Flag block and unblock. I enclose the test mission which are based on yours.

My single player capture the flag group does work.

Folks as JimTM posted the message that German or Russians have captured the flag does not work as it did. The block unblock messages do but you have to play around with logic and make an asuumption on which side owns the flag first. If its a race to a neutral flag you can't tell which side was first. So for me OP comment is valid. Get the message on which nation has the flag will make it much easier.

Habu,

 

Thanks for taking a look. The MP mission that I posted has the player spawning in a fakefield object, not in a vehicle. The vehicles in the MP mission are just leftovers from the original simple SP mission that I created. In the SP mission, I was going to test the plane first and then a tank. However, the plane did not produce "Flag Captured" messages so I moved on to test the plane in a MP mission, which did not produce "Flag Captured" messages either.

I don't know for the message (i don't have a look to the message in the mission, only on the mecanism), but as you can see when you test, the flag go up and is taken by the right side. So maybe, there is something broken in the filter, but i'm not confident with capture the flag and need more time to understand how it works, to know if it's a bug or a problem in the mission.

Hello Habu,

The flag does change side and go up and down. But the messages do not work. If you link a message from the flag to display the events flagblock, flagunblock, oncapturedby. Only the block messages will show

[Habu]

Ok, that's what i called filter in my previous message. I'm going to have a look on it as soon as possible. Thank you for the information.
