[REL] Automated Scripts ~ Sit Back And Be Captain!

[TheDarkWraith]

coded in the contact detected for hydrophone sweep and set new course to contact detected. Working beautifully! Now to add the stop, pause, and pause game on contact detected


EDIT:

the dialog box above was for my testing to see if it would work or not. Since it did I've made it report that information to the messagebox if the bit is enabled to inform user:


you can also see that a new course was automatically called up to intercept the contact (I just so happen to be pointing north, 0 degrees, at the time). This happens if the bit is set to set new course on contact detected.

[TheDarkWraith]

finally finished up the Sweep_hydrophone command. I've given you great flexibility with it. It will detect contacts that you can't detect by sitting in front of the station and rotating the wheel.

; Sweep_hydrophone,x,y,a,b - sweep the hydrophone from a start of x degrees to an end of y degrees. Time to sweep from x to y determined by a. Next command will be
issued after time t (time t doesn't start until sweeping complete). b is a decimal number representing the bits set for the following options (use windows calc to
input binary number then convert to decimal):
; this function will wait for scope station to be visible (will wait for 15 seconds and if not visible then a skip command will be issued)
; bit 0 = inform user that contact was detected
; bit 1 = set current heading for contact on Unknown contact detected
; bit 2 = set current heading for contact on Warship contact detected
; bit 3 = set current heading for contact on Merchant contact detected
; bit 4 = stop sweep on Unknown contact detected
; bit 5 = stop sweep on Warship contact detected
; bit 6 = stop sweep on Merchant contact detected
; bit 7 = pause sweep on Unknown contact detected
; bit 8 = pause sweep on Warship contact detected
; bit 9 = pause sweep on Merchant contact detected
; bit 10 = pause game (and either also pause sweep) on contact detected
; bit 11 = abort script on contact detected

Thanks TDW,

Could someone check my sums to ensure I have this right.

Ok I want to
"inform user that contact was detected"
"pause game"

So that would be 10000000001 = 1025 ?

This is for hydrophone

Hi Krauter,

Just wondering if you have any updates since TDW added new commands. The new advanced knuckle really can add to the ones you have made.

I have just finished one for aeroplane attacks:-

I had to add "crash dive" to the \scripts\menu\TheDarkWraithAutomation.py

class AutomationCrashDive( TDWAutomation.AutomationScriptInFile.BaseAutomatio nCommandUndefined ):
def Execute( self, elapsedtime ):
if GetSubIsUnderwater():
return "skip"
else:
Game.SubmarineCommands.ExecuteCommand( "Crash_dive" )
return True

and:-

,[ "Crash_dive", AutomationCrashDive ]


Commands I am going to try to add next are:-

Man deck and flak guns
fire at will etc

Nice , is there a teleport function in the automated scripts ? Teleport to inside sub first maybe .

[Trevally.]

Hadnt thought of that.

There are some teleports:-

mav map
hydrophone station
scope stations

If I jump to a station, crashdive and then exit station.

I will test and see if that works.

Edit: With the station jump, you end up on the bridge underwater (where you start from). So its down the hatch only.

I like to see that others have figured out how to add their own commands. I made it as simple as possible but still giving you the power of scripts in SH5. Though I would recommend giving the new automation command a different name than the built in command - something like Crash_dive_now for instance

[Abd_von_Mumit]

Will you be releasing version updated to wirk with TDW 4.3.0 and later versions? (every script has a new obligatory field "Description" from 4.3.0 on, as per TDW's post scripts without this field will cease working).
