@windshifter1 yep you can check my profile for it.

@32 That would be helpful! Is it out yet?

@HuskyDynamics01 @TheFlightGuySP I’ll get to work on it.

@32 Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'd say go for it!

@32 Absolutely, yeah! That'd be very helpful.

@HuskyDynamics01 @TheFlightGuySP would a modding tutorial from me be a video people would be interested in?

It wouldn't be anything too crazy, it would just go over the basics of making a map, map plugin, or part.

@HuskyDynamics01 yeah, basically if it hasn't reached 0 yet, the function subtracts the time by delta (how much time has passed)

Anyway, you won't be able to do that with Funky trees...

You can instantiate ai aircraft proxies but it will require you to have the xml files you want pre-packed into your mod
You can also check if you can invoke AiManagerScript.SpawnSandboxAiFromXml, it has one strange argument type so i'm not counting on it

@Kwoshent Thanks! If I'm reading that correctly, that would basically make a 10-second timer of sorts? (Man I really have no idea what I'm doing lol)

@TheFlightGuySP

yoooooooooooo I've been wanting to do this for almost two years

This is very barebones and very general to unity and not just simpleplanes but this'll give a slight introduction to timers in C#

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
{
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ public float timeRemaining = 10;
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ void Update()
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎{
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ if (timeRemaining > 0)
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ {
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ }
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ }
}

(Definitely didn't copypaste from Google)

This probably won't help and I'm sorry

@HuskyDynamics01 Also, the tutorials for modding SP are extremely outdated but several of the concepts/processes used are still valid. I'd recommend watching some of them to get an idea of how to get a mod working (it's a bit of a pain).

@HuskyDynamics01 Ah ok. I'd recommend toying around with some basic scripts using lights or other basic stuff, just to get a feel for the C#+Unity+SimplePlanes trio.
As for line breaks, it's just an empty link bracket.

@TheFlightGuySP Thanks for the info! I took an intro to programming course in high school but haven't done much since aside from some FT (duh) and some XML-related things, so I'm vaguely familiar with the syntax (I know how code syntax works but don't recall particulars for C# off the top of my head) but that's about it. I also did an online course that was an intro to 2D game-making in Unity but haven't gone any further with that either.

I'll probably just keep using the AI menu for now haha

(p.s. how do you do regular paragraph breaks in comments without doing the line thing, I've never been able to figure that out)

I'm not a dev nor expert modder or programmer but I'll give my best input here.

If you don't have any experience with the Unity editor, then trying to work with custom scripting and whatnot in SP is probably going to be pretty confusing and daunting (speaking from experience).
Scripting is done in C#. If you already have experience with C or Python/Java/Lua/etc. then it'll probably be easier for ya.
If you're entirely new (or almost) to scripting in any language, god help you. Now might be a good time to learn some basic Python.

1. I'm almost certain it's possible.
2. Download the version of Unity that corresponds with your current version of SP and get Microsoft Visual Studio. Visual Studio is gonna be your scripting interface.
3. As a beginner, probably pretty difficult. C has a more complicated syntax than Python or Java (which are very easy in comparison), so if you're not already familiar with basic programming then I would recommend learning one of those first.
As for the console thing, I don't know if that's actually possible. It might be possible to spawn AI aircraft using commands but at that point you might as well be doing it through the menu anyways. I don't think there's a way to auto-execute them without a custom script, which leads back to Unity and C#.

That's my bit anyways. Hope this helps in some way.
