Automation

[Trevally.]

Thanks again I will sort that.

As for new commands the teleporting would really great.
As before more stations with sweep features.
Some control over the camera movement (if poss)

Not sure on this but if the script could react to information gained ie:-
I am patroling on surface as part of script and aircraft is spotted. Automate then issues command-
x1 time sclae
battle stations
ahead full
Dive 50m

Erm, how do you make custom scripts?

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.

I was just wondering because I wanted to release some scripts I've created to see if there would be any interest in the population to create more.

Hi Krauter

I would be interested in what you have written.

Here is my search on patrol script from the first page.
It now works quite well.

Note that I have used cameras to view the dive and surface.
At he moment this may cause you to end up swimming when script ends.
If it does you can teleport back to the bridge using UI commands.
Adding the double surface at the end was due to my sub being stuck at 7m for some reason.

[TheDarkWraith]

fixed the looping problem with Sweep_scope. I've also 'beefed up' Sweep_scope:

parameter 5 will determine the options below:

# available options (parameter 5):
#
# bit 0 = lock the contact on contact spotted (if bit 2,3,4, or 5 isn't set then contact will be immediately unlocked)
# bit 1 = set current heading for contact on contact spotted
# bit 2 = stop sweep on contact spotted
# bit 3 = stop sweep and follow target on contact spotted
# bit 4 = pause script on contact spotted
# bit 5 = abort script on contact spotted

you have to do bitwise addition (you can use the calculator in Windows to do this - set it to Binary mode and enter the bit pattern wanted (1 for enabled and 0 for disabled) and then click on decimal to get your number to put into parameter 5)

i.e.: we want bit 0, bit 1, and bit 4. This would be 10011 in binary. This would equal 1 + 2 + 16 = 19. Parameter 5 would be 19.
Sweep_scope,0,0,360,90.0,19,0,5

So depending on how you set the options you can have the scope sweeping and reporting every new contact every time it spots one by locking it and unlocking it.

How would you guys like me to release the current scripts? just Copy and paste onto a post? Or Upload the document they're written on? I currently do not know how to upload files to subsim, nor do I own a filefront account.

Also, how do I package the mod so that it does not overwrite TDWs Scripts?

data\Automation\KrautersScripts.SHA?

sounds and looks good to me.
