Question for some of the more experienced mission makers.

I would like to use the GCI in C&C but I want them to start broadcasting when the enemy planes are 10 miles away for a mission I am working on.

I read that the GCIVarAlt=1 will not detect aircraft under 150m, I can work with that. But where do I find CGIVarAlt at? Or how do I add it to the .mis files?

[SAS~Skylla]

I think the param you are looking for is "GCIRange".

Regarding GCIVarAlt, the C&C Readme tells us the following:

GCI minimum detection height will increase with range, to a maximum of 8000m. Aircraft below 150m will never be detected. This will lead to generally shorter detection radii for a given maximum range

You have to add the params in your .mis file's [Mods] Section. If your mission does't have a [Mods] section, simply add a [Mods] section at the end of the file. You may have to add this every time you make a change to the mission file, as the game may delete it each time you re-save. None of the objects require these variables to be present in a mission to work, they will simply use default values.
In your case the lines you may want to add are:

Code: [Select]

[Mods]
  GCIRange 16  // Range in km
  GCIVarAlt 1

I did read the manual for C&C. So let me try and get this straight, if the mission listed is;
BS2_10.mis then I just add;
BS2_10.mis[mods]
                 CGIRange=16
                 CGIVarAlt=1

Is that how it should look?

I did read the manual for C&C.
BS2_10.mis then I just add;

[mods]
CGIRange=16
CGIVarAlt=1

You really read the documentation?
Why do you put the "=" sign?
Do you see a sign "=" in the example?
So why do you put a "=" sign?

The "=" sign goes only for options to put in the conf.ini!

The "=" sign goes only for options to put in the conf.ini!

I will note the appropriate commands for each object in blue.
Commands marked in red can also be applied in the conf.ini, allowing you to change the default values. Just use "=" instead of a space, ie RefuelAll=1.

Sorry just misunderstood the above from the readme file.

Trying to learn

So it should just look like;

BS2_10.mis[Mods]
                     CGIRange 16
                     CGIVarAlt 1

This is all I have to do in the mission file?
