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.

[BowfinSS287]

the reason i set my depth this way, was to stop the crash dive
from activating....is there a better way to do this ?
thanks for tip.....i'll lose the wait command

[TheDarkWraith]

crash dive from activating? How? Try the Set_new_depth command, it should work perfectly.

[BowfinSS287]

i also use MightyFine Crew Version: 1.2....

***NOTE 2***
The Crash dive command has a problem and does not trigger the crash dive script, so my crash dive behaviors will not trigger. I have included an optional workaround that uses the set depth command to trigger crash dive. Using that option, changing depth via the dive gauge will trigger a crash dive if the boat is on the surface, no matter what depth you click, so use with caution.

[TheDarkWraith]

well if you're not triggering the crash dive with the way you have the commands now you shouldn't with just the one command I mentioned. Both commands you're using use the 'Set_depth' command of the game. So you should be fine.

[BowfinSS287]

i used the Set_new_depth command and it activated the crash dive alarm
but when i use the two commands together

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

i can get around this action...i bet it has something to do with all my mods
you name it......i have it.....

[DavyJonesFootlocker]

Erm, how do you make custom scripts?

[BowfinSS287]

i found another problem that i can't explain why it happens
but i found a way around it....here is what happens

i want this script to run 12 times,but when i use the Loop,12,0,0,0,0,0,0
command....all works fine but the 2nd time around the Sweep_Scope,x,y,z,zz,0,0,t
exits the station b4 it has completed the 360 scan....so to fix this
i just copied the script 12 times within the same file and dropped the
loop command.....now it works fine

this new feature is really great....starting to feel like i have a crew
thanks TDW

you shouldn't have to do that, that's what the loop command is for....I think I know why this is happening and I'll fix it.

yeah I have the same problem as well when looping, I wasn't sure if it was just my PC chugging along but good to hear a fix is on the way. DARK to rescue again lol.

TDW; how would I package my scripts into folders so that they don't conflict with yours (ie: Like how I packaged them earlier, the game just ignored them completely).

Also, How do I upload onto subsim?

open notepad and copy your script code into it. Save as a .SHA file in the \data\Automation folder.
