A Question on Clod Full Mission Builder Advanced Functions

[I/JG54_chuishan]

I've just started to learn Clod's full mission builder, but since I'm familiar with the good old 1946 FMB, I can handle those basic staff, also I'm getting my hands on basic scripts.

I'm currently trying to make a co-op mission to play with my friends, and I want to achieve airfield destruction effect calculated in percentages like the one presented in TWC Campaign Server. However I have no idea how is that achieved... Wonder if anyone have any information on that? Any assistance will be appreciated! ?

I used to have some script snippets on ATAG, although have no idea if they're still there which showed how to do this.

What did you guys call this function back in the day then? May be with some key words I can try to search for those threads myself.? Thanks for helping.

These are some old (2015, TF 4.3) multiplayer missions that will most likley have the airfield destruction code in them. I'm sure if you asked on the ATAG forums where most of the current mission builders hang out they might be able to help you even more. Perhaps the ACG forums would be a good spot too.

Sadly I removed all the content on the atag forum when I was banned. The thread had been... https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8544

 

I'll see if I have the actual code somewhere on my harddrive

Thank you for helpful advice! ? I'll try those forums out. Actually I've found some interesting information on ATAG, TWC and ACG forums, but it's quite fragmented, so I have to put pieces together.

Thanks for helping, Reddog! ? If you can retrieve the code that would be excellent!

Hi! Reddog, I think I've found it! It's on TWC Campaign Server Mission made public on Github. I found this in their .cs file with your credit on it. However simply copy-paste does not seems to work, if I need any alteration to make it work? The biggest issue for me is that I don't know how to set the airfield that has the destruction calculation. Where to enter airfield name etc. Is it possible for you to explain it a little bit? ?  @No.54_Reddog

I'll take a look and get back to you.

Hi Reddog! Wonder if there's any finding in the code? ? If it's inconvenient for you to share the code mechanism with me you can go ahead and tell me, that's Ok and reasonable, since it's the fruit of your intelligent work after all:) My purpose of getting information of those advanced FMB functions and codes is to create an adequate playground for my Chinese friends, who know not very much Clod game mechanism, especially FMB and enjoy no advantage in online servers for we can only fly TWC or ATAG server with 200+ or even 300 ping. I think Chinese communities deserve their own low ping playground, and with equal advanced functions as in TWC/ATAG that can be explored.

Sorry for the delay, that took a lot longer to dig out than I'd anticipated.

 

The code here is from a mission that I wrote for ATAG before I wrote SoW which used very different code and it's not something I'm willing to share as it a) won't work without our database and what not, and b) it's heavily embedded with the rest of the systems. That said, this *should* work, 

 

I've attached the original mission also, so you should be able to pull it apart and get what you want. Please don't just host this mission.

Thank you for your kind offer!!! ? I will try to figure out the mechanism and implement it into my own mission. I fully understand that this is your intelligent work and I promise not to misuse it.
