Dynamic Pilot Ejection And SAR Rescue (Must have v1.13)

[angster]

Updated to include time limit for pilot pickup
1.) -50 points if pilot is lost
2.) +50 points for pilot pickup
3.) pilot time limit is random

Angster,

I tested out the scenario with the new "Lost Pilot" functionality. I really think you did an awesome job. This is a great addition to the sim. Thank you for sharing your work.

Thanks Von, gonna get a guide out sometime next week.

This is a great bit of scripting - well done.

I'm going to try and adapt it into one of my scenarios - Hot Tamale's if that's OK with you?

Is there any limit to the number of Pilots needing rescue?

[angster]

Hi Gunner! Feel free to use or update the SAR scripts. If you run into any issues, let me know. Currently, there’s no limit on pilot rescue. Cheers

Thanks angster

Have got it to work partially.

The downed pilots appear as advertised, and I have reduced the VP count, but I cannot seem to get the rescue triggered.

Also is there a way of reducing the probability of creating a downed pilot from 100% to about 60%?

Thanks, this code is really solving a big problem. Thanks

Hi Gunner! This is based on the attachment from Post 21:

1.) To setup probability of pilot ejecting => Go to event and edit "Event - Aircraft Destroyed And Create Pilot" and set probability to 60%
2.) To get rescue pilot triggered, you will need to copy "Event - Start SAR Target Pickup" and all the triggers and actions. Make sure you add a side named "Neutral" to hide all the reference points

[Gunner98]

Thanks I'll give that a try tonight.

Cheers

Got the probability working, should have spotted that one.
The event when a pilot is lost works:
1:00:00 PM - 1:00:00 PM - Event: 'Event - Cancel Pilot ef764738-cd1e-4248-a671-402e6e6ff355' has been fired.

Still haveing an issue with the pilot pickup however. Here is the Lua log.

I now have a Neutral side, am using the upload from post 21 and have the event loaded.

Any ideas?

I can PM you the scenario if you like?

Hi Gunner, PM me the scenario and I'll take a look.

I know this is a little old but I am working with the SAR code right now. I would love to have the ability to use land and sea units to pick up pilots if they land in the area. I figured this line of code ties rescue to Air Units when it creates 15 sec remain in area trigger by this line:

-- Create Trigger With Reference Points
local addedTrigger = ScenEdit_SetTrigger({mode="add",type='UnitRemainsInArea',name=downedPilot.guid, targetfilter={TargetType = '1' , TargetSide=triggerUnit.side},area={referencePointOne.name,referencePointTwo.name,referencePointThree.name,referencePointFour.name},TD=15})

TargetType=1 is aircraft, 2=ships, 3=subs, 4=ground units. I broke the code when I removed target type or set it to 0, and I have not figured out how to create two triggers for the same event in the code. Is what I am trying to do even possible in this scripts framework? Any insight would be appreciated.
