General idea to interact during mission with mission file: usage of the default arty spotting flash script + Demo

[kraut1]

Hi,

I made a short test with my Attack Squadron Commander:

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/90017-attack-squadron-commander-va/

Attack-Squadron-Commander-ger2D-test.zip

-rows 2...8 are used for ground attack commands for Stukas, fighter bombers as usual

-row 1 modified: instead of usage for "MCU_CMD_AttackArea" I have changed the 8 MCUs to MCU_Timers

-in a test mission A1 to display a subtitle; B1 to Activate Stuka flight2 with 3xSD250 and C1 to activate Stuka flight3 with SC1000.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to create a new flash script for the game. There would be lots of possibilities, for example a radio command menu that could be used to trigger all kinds of mission events.

I have already seen some discussions of specialists with programming knowledge, but I am not sure if there have been released new flash scripts for modications.

In the meantime I have tried to create some mods on basis of the existing arty spotting script, that offers already 8x8=64 fields to be used to activate ME MCUs during a mission.

I have isolated the complex system of MCUs from a pilot career mission that is connected to the flash script and this group can be comparable easy adapted to other purposes.

Yes. You can do quite a lot of flash scripting, actually. I've basically got a Luftwaffe radar controller working, that guides you (as a nightfighter) on the six of a bomber. Including radio chat that's indistinguishable from the in-game AI radio, of course.

 

Regarding interfacing to and from the script, there's no way to intercept user input besides the UI you put in your swf file. Which in turn blocks many other inputs to the game. The other way around, i.e. script->game, you're limited by the 16 channels the Media MCU gives you. Although I have a kind-of-working code and mission code to theoretically upgrade that to 16 *bits*, so more than you'll ever need.

Have you any plans to release your work?

Yes, but they're not good enough to be released just yet. Other projects have priority right now, first and foremost among which is Real Life.
