You can examine the game dlls (in ..SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core , ..\bob) with for example Visual Studio:



or .Net Reflector


And then try and error

Big thanks Jimbop and FG28......excellent thread. Really useful info here! Going to set up a single mission in FMB using these script ideas and use it for intel gathering....

I'm reposting because I don't think this got the coverage it deserved and also to include a few specific instructions for those who haven't used script before. Also, there are some screenshots!

I find this really useful in learning how to target enemy aircraft since you get immediate information which is much more detailed than seeing a bit of aircraft fall off. I find it interesting how much lead you can pour into a bomber from their six without any damage whatever whereas a single shot in just the right place has dramatic effect.

Instructions:

1. Open a single mission in FMB. You can use either of the attached examples at the bottom of this post if you haven’t made your own.

2. Click Edit, Script and then click on the Script tab.

3. Paste FG28_Kodiak’s code in the window and save:

using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;

public class Mission : maddox.game.AMission
{

    public override void OnAircraftDamaged(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft Aircraft, AiDamageInitiator DamageFrom, part.NamedDamageTypes WhatDamaged) 
    {
    	base.OnAircraftDamaged(missionNumber, shortName, Aircraft, DamageFrom, WhatDamaged);
    	
    	if (DamageFrom.Player != null )
    	{
    	    GamePlay.gpLogServer (null, "{0} hits {1} : {2} \n", new object [] {DamageFrom.Player, shortName, WhatDamaged});//Test
      }
    	
    }
}

That's it, just save the mission and play. When you fire successfully on an aircraft (not just enemy) you will see a damage report as in this screenshot (click to enlarge):

And as you can see you still get the usual status messages, in this case after the enemy has crashed:

The mission which these screenshots were taken from is attached (Dornier_Hunt_1, a very simple training mission I use). FG28_Kodiak's original mission (OnAircarftDamaged1) is also attached. You can open either of these in FMB and see the script as described above. To fly them you should extract the two files to your Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single folder. You can then find it in the Single Missions menu.

By training mission do you mean one of the SPs I uploaded? You might have changed your information windows if you see no damage reports. I think you can reset them.

It is scripted in this mission http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24954
Open the scripts to see how it is done.

Yes, jimbop, i meant the files which you uploaded. I checked it once more by creating a 2nd info-window and both are showing my one damages, but not the hits on the oponents
thank you all for replies!
