Description
Hello, the last DCS update introduce a new system of dynamic client slot spwan via the airports ressources fct. This feature cause a pb in MIST, because the taken dynamic slots are not automaticaly integrated in mist.DBs. Working for a solution I have identify 2 fixes needed.
Modified lines marked by " -- MODIFY !"
1 - a pb in mist.forceAddToDB() fct to be compatible with writeDBTables() fct it would be like :
function mist.forceAddToDB(object)
-- object is static object or group.
-- call dbUpdate to get the table
local tbl = {} -- MODIFY !
tbl.data = dbUpdate(object) -- MODIFY !
if tbl then
local res = writeDBTables(tbl)
if not res then
log:warn("Failed to force add to DBs: $1", object)
end
end
-- call writeDBTables with that table.
end
2 - a pb in dbUpdate(object) fct to be compatible with calls without oType given (ex: mist.forceAddToDB()), it would be like :
local function dbUpdate(event, oType, origGroupName)
--dbLog:info('dbUpdate: $1', event)
local newTable = {}
local objType = oType
newTable.startTime = 0
if type(event) == 'string' then -- if name of an object.
local newObject
if Group.getByName(event) then
newObject = Group.getByName(event)
objType = "group" -- MODIFY !
elseif StaticObject.getByName(event) then
newObject = StaticObject.getByName(event)
objType = "static"
-- log:info('its static')
else
log:warn('$1 is not a Group or Static Object. This should not be possible. Sent category is: $2', event, objType)
return false
end
...
With this 2 fixes, it would be possible to update DBs via un simple script like (before a most integrated solution) :
function mist.updateMISTDBsForHelos(params, t) -- update helos list among taken slots
for k,v in pairs(coalition.getGroups(1,1)) do -- scan red helos taken slots grp
mist.forceAddToDB(v:getName())
end
for k,v in pairs(coalition.getGroups(2,1)) do -- scan blue helos taken slots grp
mist.forceAddToDB(v:getName())
end
timer.scheduleFunction(mist.updateMISTDBsForHelos, nil, t + 5)
end
mist.updateMISTDBsForHelos(nil, timer.getTime())
thank's
