HUD message not working when in a campaign

[Yo-Yo]

Hi,

Does anyone happen to know a quick reason why my:

GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter

Doesn't work now I've changed my script to be a campaign class. i.e.

public class Mission : maddox.game.campaign.Mission

Instead of:

public class Mission : AMission

I can see that HUD messages work in other campaigns, but can't see what I need to change in the reference or whatever to get mine to work again.

Thanks.

What version are you using?

void gpHUDLogCenter(string msg);
void gpHUDLogCenter(Player[] to, string msg);
void gpHUDLogCenter(Player[] to, string msg, object[] parms);
void gpHUDLogCenter(Player[] to, string msg, object[] parms, double lifeTime);

void gpHUDLogCenter(string msg);
void gpHUDLogCenter(Player[] to, string msg);
void gpHUDLogCenter(Player[] to, string msg, object[] parms);
void gpHUDLogCenter(Player[] to, string msg, object[] parms, double lifeTime);

void gpHUDLogCenter(string msg);

That one I think, I just use:

GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("My message here") and it would display the text on screen.

It's the one that I use alot in my guide to te FMB.

Maybe I've messed up something else, but all I did was change the one liine on the class to get my missions into a campagin and then my HUD messages stopped.

I was hoping there was an 'easy answer' rather than me having to dig around and try testing script within a campaign...

As far as I know AI pilots do not recognise gpHUDLogCenter messages at all.

And as long as you are the one and only human in your campaign you can / should use

GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Hello Yo-Yo");

without any overload method.

Yes that's all I think I am doing.

The HUD works fine when I have it as a single mission, but when I put it in a campaign (by just changing the line for the main class) it isn't showing for some reason.

I've looked at a mission in the default career and that seems to have the HUD showing 'mission complete' to the player, and without any difference to what I have in my script.

Looks like I'll have to put the hours in to figure it out.

[varrattu]

"just changing the line for the main class" is not enough.

Try it after adding:

//$reference parts/core/Campaign.dll

using maddox.game.campaign;

Edit: if your script file is not TOP SECRET, feel free to show it. Remote diagnosis is always difficult and in the end leads to guessing game

The more we share, the more we learn ...

Default campaign use GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter for "yellow messages" and SayToGroup for planes "chit chat".

//$reference Campaign.dll
//-$debug
using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;

public class Mission : maddox.game.campaign.Mission 
{

    AiActor a1, a2, a3;
    AiAircraft airc1, airc2, airc3, my_airc;

    public override void OnBattleStarted() {
        base.OnBattleStarted();
        a1 = GamePlay.gpActorByName("0:BoB_RAF_F_FatCat_Early.010");
        a2 = GamePlay.gpActorByName("0:BoB_RAF_F_FatCat_Early.100");
        a3 = GamePlay.gpActorByName("0:BoB_RAF_F_FatCat_Early.000");


        if (a1 == null || a2 == null || a3 == null) {
            System.Console.WriteLine("SCRIPR ERROR: Aircraft not found");
        }

        airc1 = (AiAircraft)a1;
        airc2 = (AiAircraft)a2;
        airc3 = (AiAircraft)a3;
        my_airc = (AiAircraft)GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place();

        if (airc1.Person(0) != null) {
            Timeout(20.0, () => {
                airc1.SayToGroup(my_airc.AirGroup(), "Weather_looks_good_all_the_way_to_Manston_Good_luck_sir");
            });
            Timeout(90.0, () => {
                airc1.SayToGroup(my_airc.AirGroup(), "Hello_Hurricane_do_you_copy_There_s_an_enemy_flight");
            });
        }

    }

    private void checkLanded(AiAircraft aircraft) {
        if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() != aircraft)
            return;
        if (GamePlay.gpGetTrigger("airdrome1").Active) {
            if (Campaign != null) {
                if (Campaign.battleSuccess != null)
                    return;
                Campaign.battleSuccess = true;
            }
            GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("MISSION COMPLETE");
        }
    }

...
public class Mission : maddox.game.campaign.Mission
{
...

I was using 'Amission' for a campaign mission to somehow achieve the 'mission complete'(message)

Any different between 'Amission' and 'maddox.game.campaign.Mission '?
(or any short come to use 'Amission' in a campaign mission?)

[Yo-Yo]

Here's an example:

This works in FMB and single mission:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Diagnostics;


public class Mission : AMission
{
    public override void OnBattleStarted()
    {
        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Start-up and let oil temperature reach at least 40 degrees before taxiing");

    }
}

But when converted to how I understand it needs to be for a campaign mission, it doesn't, it also doesn't compile in the FMB:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Diagnostics;


public class Mission : maddox.game.campaign.Mission
{
    public override void OnBattleStarted()
    {
        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Start-up and let oil temperature reach at least 40 degrees before taxiing");

    }
}

Compile error is:

errorCS0234: The type or namespace 'campaign' does not exist in the namespace 'maddox.game' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

[1lokos]

Is not due lack of this lines at top of script?

//$reference Campaign.dll
//-$debug
using System;
...

[varrattu]

@1lokos

and here the long version ...


@Yo-Yo: don't care about compiler errors, just test it

~V~

//$reference parts/core/Campaign.dll

using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.campaign;


public class Mission : maddox.game.campaign.Mission
{
    public override void OnBattleStarted()
    {
        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Start-up and let oil temperature reach at least 40 degrees before taxiing");

    }
}

Is not due lack of this lines at top of script?

//$reference Campaign.dll
//-$debug
using System;
...

[Yo-Yo]

Thanks, I'll give it a try, and add that reference in to a new version of my guide when I have time.

[Yo-Yo]

Well I've got that test message working from that script there when I use it instead of all my script, now I just need to figure out what else it is in my script that seems to be incompatible!

Thanks for the assistance, I'm a step closer to my first string of campaign missions.

Edit: Have got my triggers, other HUD messages, battle success flags and onAircraftDamaged working now. So it just leaves the timed messages to add in.

[Yo-Yo]

OK, I seem to have got all of my first mission script working now in a campaign, thanks for all the help.
