• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi all,

I am using instant software maker and Jim Keirs FS Mission Editor. I tried to do a fire fighting mission. But I have no cloue so far, how to even start. I was about to place some campfires but i don't know how to realise the condition to disdinguish the fire. Could anyone help me out on that?

Thanks in Advance

That's not an easy one for a start. You can place fx using the gen_effects scenery object (see mission samples like "CAP" for that). But you would need some advanced property or proximity triggers to know if the aircraft is above the fires and is actually extinguishing them.

Most you need to know is in the sample missions and the SDK. Together with Jim's tool you should learn how to do it rather soon.
But don'T start too complex. First try to create a mission where you start and get some triggers fired and dialogs appear. If that works fine you can go on and include the fires. ;)
 
Thanks Horst for that lil sneek in. I am familiar with the basic setup of a mission. I have already done several missions which work fine. But to be honest I never thought about a proximity trigger above the fireplace. :rolleyes: DOH!!

Just one more thing: do you know by chance how to let the trigger beeing triggered by activating the "water release key" ? Then the condition should look like this:
if "airplane" is within "area trigger" and button "water release" is initiated - then count 1
If count = 3 than fx_fire is invisible

Or something like that... Could that work? Could you please give me your opinion about that? Thanks in advance :)

I don't think that's possible. Not sure if there's a var in the prop trigger that can be used. You need to look for an apropriate variable.
If that won't succeed you can always try to use the droppable payload option. This way you can also control how much water the user can load.
 
hey, that's a cool tip. I am gonna work on that this night. Horst, are you on skype by any chance? would be cool to have a pro like you around in difficult cases ;)

Cheers

Oh no, not again. :D

I get that question a lot these days...

I'm afraid that's rather difficult at the moment. There are also quite some gifted people around here, so I'm sure they'll also be able to assist if I'm not answering here for 1 or 2 days. ;)
