[1268.1] Example of tracking status change

[michaelm75au]

Attached an example of the status change check that is in 1268.1 build.

There is an event that triggers when 'MiG-31BM Foxhound' lands and changes to the 'Readying' state.
There is also a special action event that shows how the Lua event was created.

The framework was created a few years back for the concept of handling landing/readying/takeoff events, but it was causing exception and run errors. It has been updated with more mature code, but it is still a work in progress so be wary.
For example it will need some limits added to it otherwise the simulation could grind to a halt if there were many a/c being monitored across many bases in a scenario.

Good evening,
Not knowing to much about LUA and EVENTs. Do appreciate examples when new stuff arise.
Trying it, got the message, but the trigger "UnitBaseState" isn't filled in (Edit Event Trigger) and can't find it "Create New Trigger".
If that is how it is suppose to be, forgive me.
regards GJ

This is not a normal Event trigger currently.
It is only available by being created with Lua script.

At some future point, it may/will be added to the normal Event editor,

It's still a fantastic addition, reducing overhead polling and logic we previously had to embed to track change of status (and even then if it was too quick one could miss one if < 1s between changes). Thanks again for the feature add, and the usage sample, has utility way beyond just takeoff\landing\ready etc though.

Micheal,
Understood. Great addition.
best regards GJ
