I would like to ask if is possible create scipt which will do following:

Disable all vanilla missiles alerts.

Have monitor nr.2
a) no missiles - monitor off
b) launched missile - monitor on
- on the monitor in right botom corner will start blink red button.
- somewhere on the midle will be information about closest missile (name,speed,power)
- somewhere in right will be informations about all amount missiles targeted you (for ex. 25)
- if you shield become to 5% the hoop will start blinking red

Its just idea. I dont know if is that possible. Maybe not monitor just something like radar frame. I think find solution for this trouble will welcome many peoples.

Great idea!

Would be great if you could blacklist the message for certain missile types. I really don't care if someone just launched a bunch of small missiles at my M2, but I do care about some Firestorms coming at me.

I think though that this is hard coded... but a cool idea none the less.

Can an audio file be triggered via script? I know you can remove the sound all together but the idea of it only coming on for specific missiles would be immensely useful as compared to the current way the game handles it.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

You can play sound samples with the play sample <Var/Number> audio command .

Ok, thats good to know.

Two more questions:

1. Is it possible for a script to determine the type of incoming missile? If true...

2. Is it possible to toggle, via menu, each individual missile on and off in respect to the warning beeps.

Both things are possible.

1. In the Flight Commands there are two commands to get incoming missiles:

<RetVar> = <RefObj> find nearest missile aiming to me
<RetVar> = <RefObj> get array of missiles aiming to me

2. Yes, when you create your own missile alert system. A menu script, where you select the missiles you want to get warned of, sets a global variable. That variable is then checked by the actual warning script.

XTC has such a system, it distinguishes between light medium and heavy missiles, so it's better to judge if you should laugh your a§§ off or start sweating
