Automation

Big thanks to TDW for this new feature in hid UI mod.

I am still trying to create one. Here is what I have so far:-

I have not been at this for very long but I was wondering what others are automating?

Also any tips would be great

Edit: To make your own or use automations you need TDW UI Mod v4.03 or higher.

Open your SilentHunter5\Date\Automation folder.
Create new text document and open it. You should also open TDW_Automation to get a list of commands to use.
Start with:-

[AS]
enter script name here
[CATEGORY]
enter category name here
[COMMANDS]
enter your first command here
take a new line for each command
[COMMANDS_END] to finish

; at start of line stops it form being used (handy if tou are testing)
every thing you need to know is in the TDW_Automation.SHA

Once you are finished save the text file as .SHA (select save as and under typr choose all then add .SHA to the file name)

TheDarkWraith · 08-14-10, 11:31 AM

from the TDW_Automation.SHA file:

; Do not use the below as they cause problems!
; Activate_radar,0,0,0,0,0,0,t - activate radar (turn on) if installed
; Deactivate_radar,0,0,0,0,0,0,t - deactivate radar (turn off) if installed
; Radar_continuous_sweep,0,0,0,0,0,0,t
; Radar_one_sweep,0,0,0,0,0,0,t
; Rig_for_silent_running,0,0,0,0,0,0,t
; Secure_from_silent_running,0,0,0,0,0,0,t - secure from silent running

Thanks TDW, i should pay more attention

you did give me some good ideas for commands to add though

I should add a hydrophone station command that will place you in front of the hydrophone station and another command to sweep the hydrophone like I did for the scope. Should do the same for radar

Trevally. · 08-14-10, 12:05 PM

Thanks TDW that would be great.

At this stage:-

Camera_on_next_unit,0,0,0,0,0,0,5
Wait,0,0,0,0,0,0,2
Get_depth_under_sub_keel,0,0,0,0,0,0,2
Periscope_depth,0,0,0,0,0,0,60

I wanted the camera to view the sub during the dive but the boat wont dive as it says "crew still on deck". Any way around this anyone?

you need to be below decks for the periscope depth. Hmm, I should let you pass parameter 1 a value of 1 as to teleport if you're not below decks

Trevally. · 08-14-10, 01:04 PM

I swapped the comands over and this time I could watch the boat go to Periscope depth.

Get_depth_under_sub_keel,0,0,0,0,0,0,2
Periscope_depth,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Camera_on_next_unit,0,0,0,0,0,0,5
Wait,0,0,0,0,0,0,2

The next stage was to listen, so far so good. two contacts.

Next was goto scope station - this did not work, I was stuck on the external camera.

yes because you went to external cam from the camera on next unit. Give the command 'Toggle_free_camera'

I still can't get mine working

then I would suggest turning the user option on for Automation debugging, enabling script debugging in your \Documents\SH5\cfg\main.cfg file and see what it tells you at game start.

Krauter · 08-14-10, 01:35 PM

I did lol.. can't understand what it is telling me

post a screenshot

Krauter · 08-14-10, 01:44 PM

Aye sir, I ill post one when I do another try

I think it has to do with the t value that you were telling me about, yet from what I've tried it doesnt matter if I set it to 0, delete it or set it from a value of 0.1 all the way to 899

BowfinSS287 · 08-14-10, 02:31 PM

here is one i built...starts on surface...boat goes to 28 meters
then does a hydrophone check for 5 mins, then comes to
periscope depth and does a 360 search....then surfaces

excellent. I see most everyone is figuring out how to make their own scripts

I do have one question:

Periscope_depth,0,0,0,0,0,0,40
Set_new_depth_relative,18,0,0,0,0,0,30

why don't you just issue the command 'Set_new_depth,28,0,0,0,0,0,70'?

you can also do away with the Wait command and tack a 2 onto the end of Activate_Scope_Station. Would accomplish same thing.
