Asset Pools - Alteration Feature Request: Warehouse w/count

[techdr1ve]

Your asset pools script is wonderful! I have an altered version idea that would be cool if you could implement it. A lot of people use MOOSE warehousing with a count of resources and it would be awesome if you could incorporate, A warehouse linked to group of units spawned. Truth be told, NO ONE WANTS TO USE MOOSE if they don't have to as Mission Designer ... bc it changes it's entire code base all the time among other things.

• Warehouse has a quantity and when the quantity is 0 do not spawn any more groups.
• When the warehouse is destroyed (DEAD) do not spawn any more groups.
• Note 1: this might be difficult bc getting into Warehouse details mid mission might be difficult. You might have to store a count at beginning of mission and then countdown from there ... however this might force you to store a dict or library to reference the unit_type and count among other things. If it's too much of a pain don't bother.
• Note 2: Let user define warehouse quantity in Mission Editor (this way we can use it for persistency, with addition of DSMC etc. with persistent saving that many of us have.)

Thanks for another nice suggestion. Is this for the Constant Pressure system, or one of the others (Respawnable On Call etc).

It probably makes sense to link a unit/structure to detect destruction and automatically stop spawning. For inventory maybe we decrement a counter for each spawned unit that is killed. Don't think successful RTBs should count against the total.

Yea the more I think about this, I feel like this is more incorporated with warehousing. The idea was based more on Respawnable On Call but based out of the warehouses inventory. I wouldn't bother spending time on it because it's too different from your scripts possibly. If you wanted to look into it by all means.

Okay, I'll leave this open and give it some more thought though.

REALLY excited about your new project DCS_DiscordLink. Please focus on that one, put this feature more in the backlog if anything. DSMC kinda handles some of it, but warehousing is really a bit of a nightmare in DCS with updates.

@techdr1ve Thanks for your interest in my new project. I'm not sure if certain aspects are possible, so it's definitely at an early stage. If you want something that is already developed, there are a few projects out there that already claim to do this, if you don't want to wait.

[techdr1ve]

I'd be interested in all the above projects, the more info the better. Could you list other projects that are out there? Either way ill wait mostly for yours to come to fruition.

Here are a few projects along similar lines (sure there are more out there if you search). I've not used any of these, so I can't comment on their suitability:
